It's a big, annual trade show for tobacco retailers. Us non-dealers, me for sure and presumably you, aren't invited. I say presumably because I wager to guess that if you didn't know what the RTDA (Retail Tobacco Dealers of America) is then you probably aren't a dealer.

It is where manufacturers preview and release new stuff. Including cigars, gadgets and such and try to get dealers to carry them.

And Gurkha is a marketing company. They don't make their own cigars, or their coffee or anything they sell. Everything is made for them.

That's not to say some of their cigars aren't good, they are. They are made by the Torano factory for them.

They get mocked a lot because they make this stupid cigar infused with some freak'n expensive booze and charge something stupid like 400 bucks a cigar or something.
