After debuting at the 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA24) trade show this past March, Gurkha Cigars is shipping the fourth and final installment in its Year of the Dragon series: Gurkha Year of Dragon by Oscar Valladares.
As the name implies, this Year of the Dragon cigar is made by Oscar Valladares and comes in 10-count boxes. This cigar is presented as a 6 x 52 Toro cigar in a commemorative yellow box and made in Honduras by Oscar Valladares. This is the first time in a long time that a Gurkha cigar has been made in Honduras.
“When Oscar [Valladares] came to visit us the first time, we immediately said we wanted to partner with him on something special, and so we did! It’s been a pleasure to work with the entire Oscar Valladares Team, and we look forward to future partnerships,” commented Jim Colucci, president of Gurkha Cigar Group.
Juan Lopez, vice president of sales at Gurkha Cigar Group, added: “We’re proud to partner with Oscar Valladares and his team to produce this phenomenal cigar. This will not be the last time you see the Valladares name on one of our brands for sure.”
Though this is the final release within Gurkha’s Year of the Dragon series, Gukrha has announced plans to work with those manufacturers it collaborated with in 2024 and again next year for 2025’s Year of the Snake. This is another trademark owned by Gurkha Cigar Group and K. Hansotia & Co.
