Gurkha Cigars has announced that it will formally release its Royal Humidor Limited Edition Collection this month.

There are three different styles of humidor—black, green and burl—each limited to 150 pieces. Pricing is set at $7,500 and each humidor will come with 200 Cellar Reserves in the Prisoner vitola—which is a 7 x 54 perfecto—four of which are exclusive to the humidor.

  • Cellar Reserve 18 — Corojo wrapper, Dominican binder and filler

  • Cellar Reserva Limitada (15) — Brazilian Arapiraca, Dominican olor binder, Dominican filler

“We take great pride in our packaging,” said Kaizad Hansotia, ceo of Gurkha, in a press release.  “Gurkha’s boxes and humidors have long been considered collectors’ items and the limited edition Royal Humidor is a beautiful statement piece for any home.”

The humidors were first shown off at the 2016 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show last July.
