Gurkha Goes to Nicaragua for Heritage
The strongest release from a trio of new Gurkhas that will be on hand at this month’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show is Gurkha Heritage.
It’s made at American Caribbean Tobacco S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua with the blending being led by Juan Lopez, the company’s national sales director.
Heritage comes in three vitolas—Robusto, Toro and XO (6 x 60)—each offered in a 35-count box. It uses an Ecuadorian habano rosado wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Pennsylvania.
“We’re proud to release a fantastic medium to full-bodied blend in the Heritage Cigar,” said Kaizad Hansotia, Gurkha’s ceo, in a press release. “A true aficionado will not be disappointed with the wonderful collaboration of flavors in this cigar.”
Suggested retail pricing will range from $7.99-9.99.
