CigarCraig’s 12 Spectacular Days of Cigar Giveaways 2015 Day 12: Gurkha

It’s finally here, Day 12, and boy do we have a bunch of stuff for the lucky winner!  Gurkha always comes through with great stuff for under the tree and in the stockings, and this year is no different. Where to start?  Well, there’s a box of the East India Trading Co. Classic Cigar Havana Blend No. 359 Lancero. This is a box of twenty 7″ x 42 cigars, and if they are anything like their robusto cousins, which I smoke often, they are very good, with some surprising flavors. I’ll be looking for some of these to try.  If that wasn’t enough, there a great red ceramic ashtray, a survival knife that my youngest son has, in the past, described as “Bad Ass”, a really cool Barracuda dual flame torch lighter with a flip out punch cutter, and wrap it all up (literally, if you like) in a huge Gurkha flag!  THAT is a load of great stuff!  Everything you need to cut, light, ash and enjoy a great cigar.  Thank you to Bianca at Gurkha for today’s presents!

Today’s going to be a busy day I think! I’m meeting not one, but two reasonable local winners to deliver presents today, and need to get Schon’s goodies packed and shipped.  But I’m sure you’re waiting to hear who won the Azon cigars and cutter, right?  I need to hear from advicefromarecruiter with his address so I can pass it on to Jack at Duran Premium Cigars! Congrats, enjoy, and Happy Holidays! Thanks again to Jack, he was one of the first to enthusiastically come on board this year!

 

You know what to do now, leave a comment here, check back tomorrow to see if you won!

  36. KOPTim

    OK Craig, you’ve really done it this time … a GURKHA is MUCH better than 12 drummers drumming. No offence to the GURKHA.

  37. Jared

    Fine collection you have there.

  40. Frank Nichols

    This the perfect set up for a happy new year! Some great sticks, a lighter, ashtray, knife to stab any homeless guys that show up wherever you are & a flag to shield from the cold or to wrap the body of the homeless guy if you stab too many times. I’m just kidding on the homeless guys, maybe.
    Seriously though great gift!

  41. Congrats advicefromarecruiter. And this is the final day. Thank you Craig and thank you to the vendors that provide the prizes for doing this every year.
