Leave it to Gurkha Cigars to take a fan-favorite concept and crank it up to eleven!
Yes, in recent years, the industry's top manufacturers have begun showing off some of their most fine-tuned smoking experiences on an annual basis, being released to coincide with the Chinese New Year and the associated zodiac symbol. With Gurkha embracing dragon iconography throughout many of their releases over the years, they weren't about to let 2024's Year of the Dragon roll by without showing off something special...
Gurkha set off the festivities in late 2023 with the Gurkha Year of the Dragon 2024 cigar. However, unbeknownst to the casual cigar hobbyist, the company had FOUR more Dragons in their arsenal. With this fiery five, Gurkha has partnered with five of the most talented cigar manufacturers on the market today, showing off five unique smoking experiences in five unique formats.
