Just got a new Thompson's catalog in the mail today. Thumbing through it I noticed they're selling Gurkha cigars - pricey, tobacco aged in 50 year old cognac barrels, tubed - with tubes sealed in wax. Too pricey for me, as Thompon's usually is but thought I'd post this if anyone is interested.
The picture shown on the band is the same picture in the HI FAQ, Gorkha section that has the fellow with a mustache & round hat testing the edge of a khukuri. I thought the picture looked familiar from when I downloaded some material from the HI web page & FAQ (with Bill's permission) for a booklet I made for my nephew's Boy Scout troop.
I have no affiliation with either whomever makes Gurkha cigars or Thompon's - just an FYI to possible collectors who might be interested.
