Fans of a limited, regional release from Gurkha known as the Dynasty will soon get another crack at the cigar, as it is set to return this summer, though it will now be known as the Gurkha Jubilee.

The cigar uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper with the binder and fillers coming from Nicaragua. It is being released in a single 6 x 56 Toro vitola, with an MSRP of $20 per cigar or $200 for a ten-count humidor. The Jubilee is limited to 1,000 humidors of 10 cigars each, a total run of 10,000 cigars coming out of American Caribbean Tobacco in Estelí, Nicaragua.

Also being added to the new release list is the Gurkha Trinity, a three-pack of cigars that feature two different wrappers and a barber pole version that showcases both of them.

Gurkha Trinity Open

The Trinity features a binder from Nicaragua with fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, while the capa is either a Nicaraguan habano, Nicaraguan maduro, or barber pole of the two. Trinity is available in a 5 x 50 Robusto version ($22) or a 6 x 50 Toro version ($24).

Gurkha’s Xtreme line is also set to have its new look unveiled during the trade show.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
