Gurkha Cigars went to the annual International Premium Cigar and Pipe Retailers’ convention over the summer with new cigars in tow. The maker of fine cigars debuted three new products that were unveiled at the annual event that brings together cigar aficionados in the Nevada desert’s oasis.

The new cigars are called Gurkha Real, Nicaragua Series, and Treinta, serving as the latest additions to the company’s already fine selection. The three will be available in local stores this fall.

“I am proud to say that these are some of the best cigars that we have ever introduced and they will be a great addition to our flavor profiles,” said Kaizad Hansotia, CEO of Gurkha Cigars. “These cigars will be an instant favorite for any cigar lover and will quickly become a humidor staple.”

Gurkha Cigars are well-known around the world for their top-shelf cigars, with millions produced every year and are sold in more than 70 countries.
