Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

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.

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

There is nothing wrong with smoking what you like! -(P

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

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.

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

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.

Just found the Spec Ops online at www.coronacigar.com!

Only $159.95 for either version. :banger That's a steal if you ask me.

They made a funny video to promote it as well. Check it out...

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

wait. purge valve???

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

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.

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

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

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

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.

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

If you want a true tactical knife, ZT Knives. Nuff said :)

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

Thx for sharing the website, will have to check it out.

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

All Right!

I am pretty sure my wonderful wife just ordered this for me :ss

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

I got mine for $100. Out of town and picking it up when I get back. I couldn't pass this up at this price.

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

Damn... that's less than cost. WTF??

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

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.

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

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

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

I got a great connection. What can I say? Off to pick it up today. Finally found some time to go get it.

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

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.

Re: Gurkha Spec Ops
 

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

[thread-jack]
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?
