Tamarac, FL – Gurkha Cigars will be partnering exclusively with Kretek Canada to distribute the brand’s top-selling premium cigars such as Grand Reserve, Cellar Reserve, Seduction, Ghost, Master Select and more. Gurkha will be working closely with Kretek’s sales force to increase the availability of Gurkha cigars throughout Canada and increase brand awareness through special events and promotions.
“Canadians represent the largest percentage of non-U.S. citizens vacationing in the United States. As a result of these travels Canadians are asking their local retailers to carry more Gurkha cigars,” said Kaizad Hansotia, CEO of Gurkha Cigars. “We decided that we needed to have a larger sales effort in Canada. Gurkha only partners with the best and Kretek is both highly respected and highly efficient, they will be key to the expansion of Gurkha nation.”
In years past Canadians had a notable preference for Cuban cigars stocking their humidors. The introduction of high quality Dominican and Nicaraguan cigars, such as Gurkha has revolutionized the market. Canadians have discovered that they prefer the quality and consistency of these cigars and retailers report sales have shifted with Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco dominating Canadian humidors.
