Most cigar samplers are made up of cigars that you could otherwise purchase in boxes, but Gurkha’s Revenant Sampler contains three different cigars—six cigars in total—that are otherwise not for sale.

The Revenant line was released last year in two different wrapper options—Honduran corojo or Mexican San Andrés—but Gurkha has a new Connecticut version which is included in the sampler. Perhaps more notable, currently, the only way to purchase the Revenant Connecticut is in the sampler. Every cigar in the sampler is a 6 x 50 toro, though unlike the Revenant cigars that are sold in boxes, the sampler cigars are round instead of box-pressed.

While Gurkha has not disclosed the blend details of the Revenant Connecticut, the other two Revenant blends use a Cameroon binder over a mixture of Dominican, Nicaraguan and undisclosed fillers. All the cigars are made at Tabacalera El Artista in Tamboril, Dominican Republic.

The MSRP of each sampler is $37.
