Later this month Gurkha will bring back one of its older brands, this time as a Nicaraguan puro.

The San Miguel by Gurkha is a Nicaraguan puro highlighted by a shade grown corojo wrapper. It will be made at AGANORSA’s Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. (TABSA) factory in Estelí, the third line of Gurkhas to be made by the factory in the last year.

  • San Miguel by Gurkha Petite Corona (4 1/4 x 42) — $9.50 (Box of 20, $190)
  • San Miguel by Gurkha Robusto (5 x 52) — $9.75 (Box of 20, $195)
  • San Miguel by Gurkha Toro (6 x 54) — $9.95 (Box of 20, $199)

Gurkha says the cigars should begin shipping in two weeks.

The original San Miguel was a Dominican cigar that uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper.
