Gurkha Cigar Group has officially begun shipping the fourth and final installment of its Year of the Dragon series: the Gurkha Year of the Dragon by Oscar Valladares. The new release, first showcased at the PCA Convention in March, marks Gurkha’s return to Honduran cigar production.

The cigar comes in a 6×52 toro size, packaged in a yellow commemorative box of 10 cigars, priced at $25 per stick. This completes the Year of the Dragon collection, which also included releases from AJ Fernandez and Ernesto Pérez Carrillo earlier this year.

President Jim Colucci expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration with Valladares, stating, “It’s been a while since we released a blend made in Honduras, and partnering with Oscar Valladares was something special.”

With plans to continue partnering with Valladares, Gurkha Cigar Group has already teased 2025’s upcoming “Year of the Snake” collection.

J.C. Newman Cigar Co. has launched a new addition to its Diamond Crown Julius Caeser brand of cigars: The Troublemaker. This 5.75” x 52 soft perfecto comes in leather boxes of 20, with a suggested retail price of $17 per cigar. Like all Diamond Crown cigars, The Troublemaker is crafted by the Fuente family at Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic.

The idea for this unique shape came from Drew Newman, the fourth-generation owner, who was inspired by a vintage poster in the office of Rich Dolak, the vice president of operations at both J.C. Newman and Arturo Fuente. Crafting this cigar proved challenging, hence its name, “The Troublemaker.”

The first boxes have been shipped to 36 Diamond Crown Cigar Lounges, where it will be exclusively available until its nationwide release next year.
