I'd be curious to hear what these run for as well and a little more about the cigar. Seems like the case/coin/knife would be the marketing point for this new product.

There is nothing wrong with smoking what you like!

Around $200 for the entire package. Considering it's Gurkha and you get a great traveldor and slick knife, a good deal if you like the cigars.

The knife looks like one made by a company called Extrema Ratio and those alone are a couple hundred dollars. Throw in a Pelican case and the Gurkhas on top and they're probably a little pricey.
But yes, Jim, I have yet to smoke a bad Gurkha.
To beat the prices I always check on Cigars International and wait for them to do a Ghurka sampler with 20 cigars for about 40 bucks, then they aren't as bad.

yes, those travel cases will vacuum seal closed when taken on an airplane. the purge valve makes it easy to open the case back up.

thats nuts! I thinks its a good deal. I wonder if the cigar is any good (on the level playing field that is: Gurkha)

The knife is made in China. If you really want a tacticool knife, watch late night QVC and get a mega sampler for $40. That's my opinion. The marketing aspect is sheer genius.

ZT aren't bad, I've owned a few. The new Rick Hinderer collaboration knife will be their best hands down. I prefer my Strider SMF to the current ZT's also tactical to me = Microtech preferably a scarab or Halo.
Yeah that knife is a turd, definitely a China Cheapie.

Second on the Microtech. I have two of their knives and they are great.

I have seen this package. I laughed and said "No one touches my Gurkhas otherwise I will cut chu." I am just wondering what else Gurkha will come up with next.

+1 to their marketing team... although I'll pass on this deal.. the best cigars I've ever smoked come in plain wooden boxes....

So, according to the Corona website, these are supposed to retail at $500, and they can sell them for $160? Something smells of BS there - do NC manufacturers artificially inflate RRP so everyone thinks they're getting a blinding deal?

:-) That's a steal if you ask me.
