Gurkha Begins Shipping Master Select

At this year’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show Gurkha brought back two blends from the company’s past: Havana Legend and Master Select. Now the latter is shipping.

Master Select debuted in 2001 and the company went back to Fidel Olivas, who created the original blend, to produce the cigar just as it was before. The company claims it is using the same blend as before: an Ecuadorian habano wrapper, Honduran habano binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers.

It’s offered in five sizes.

• Gurkha Master Select Robusto — $7.50 (Boxes of 25, $187.50)
• Gurkha Master Select Toro — $8.50 (Boxes of 25, $212.50)
• Gurkha Master Select 6 x 60 — $10 (Boxes of 25, $250)
• Gurkha Master Select Perfecto #1 (6 x 60) — $11.50 (Boxes of 25, $287.50)
• Gurkha Master Select Perfecto #2— $9.50 (Boxes of 25, $237.50)
