Gurkha Cigar Group International is gearing up to present an array of new releases at this year's PCA (Premium Cigar Association) Convention in Las Vegas, NV, showcasing the brand's continued innovation and collaboration within the premium cigar industry. The PCA Convention, occurring in March this year—a notable shift from its traditional summer schedule—serves as the backdrop for Gurkha's announcement of several anticipated projects.
Leading the pack is the Gurkha 35th Anniversary series, now available in a 10-count box following its initial launch last year in a collector's Ferrari red humidor. This series, crafted with El Artista Cigars, is offered in Toro, Pirámide, and Figurado vitolas, targeting a medium-bodied profile that blends earthiness and nuttiness with a cool, long finish.
After the huge success we had introducing the product in a humidor last year, we're finally able to release the 10 count Gurkha 35th Anniversary in its 10 count format.

Gurkha also revisits its TAA Exclusive from 2023 with the mainstream release of the Colección Especial Nicaragua. This Nicaraguan Puro, a follow-up to the Dominican-made Colección Especial, encapsulates a blend rich in earthiness and nuttiness, wrapped in sweetness.
The tremendous success with the TAA in 2023… we decided to keep it going.

The collaboration with Mike Tyson and LGNDS introduces the Tyson 2.0 Undisputed line, featuring Maduro and Habano blends, each encased in distinctively styled boxes. Jim Colucci, President of Gurkha Cigars, noted, “Our collaboration with Mike Tyson and his teams at LGNDS and Carma HoldCo is a very unique one,” anticipating Tyson's appearance at the trade show. The Tyson 2.0 Undisputed line promises medium-bodied, full-flavored blends with nuanced profiles.
Lastly, Gurkha's Year of the Dragon project showcases partnerships with modern legends of the cigar industry, including AJ Fernandez, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, Oliva Cigar Company, and Oscar Valladares. This ambitious project will be unveiled in its entirety for the first time, featuring limited edition cigars across four collaborations. “It truly feels like a one-of-a-kind opportunity to release and work with these modern-day legends of the industry,” expressed Juan Lopez.
We can't wait for cigar aficionados around the world to try our new blends.
