Gurkha Special Ops Limited Edition Cigars, Travel Humidor & Tactical Knife Set

Well Kiazad came up with a much more affordable, limited edition Gurkha cigar combo dubbed Special Ops. Inspired by the Navy Seals, this combo includes 20 (7 1/4"x54) Gurkha Limited Edition Special Ops cigars, an indestructible, waterproof, all weather 30 count travel humidor with humidifier, a Limited Edition Gurkha collector's coin, and a 7" fixed blade tactical combat/survival knife complete with leg sheath..


You can keep the cigars, I'd love to have the travel humidor and the tactical knife! :thumbsup:

Not a fan of Gurkha cigars, so you could keep them. Like good knives so would have no need for the shitty imitation knife. But the travel humi could be good.

The actual retail is $200, so I love how they post $500. That is super comical to me. And the knife is actually very nice. I have several knife collectors who come into the shop here who were VERY impressed with it and could not pass it up!

Really I saw it at IPCPR and while it looked ok for $200 including humi and cigars the knife can't have a value of more then $30. I will stick with Busse's.

Buy a 50ct travel humidor, take out 3 layers and buy a piece of foam, cut it to fit a knife, done.

Actually, for $159.95, it's not a bad deal for the knife and the case...

PROVIDED THAT -

The knife in the case bears a striking resemblance to knives made by Extrema Ratio...which retail for more than the $159.95 price.

Extrema Ratio Knives

So...

If the knife IS IN FACT an Extrema Ratio, the deal isn't half bad.

Now...if it's a knockoff...well, you can figure it out.

Well my guess if MSRP is $200ish, retailer cost is $100. Take out say $20 for profit and marketing. The case looks decent so say Gurkha paid $10 for it, say the cigars are the good equivilant to a decent bundle costing gurkha $1 a stick so another $30 gone. This is leaving a max value of $40 for the knife. That said it's a little big for cheese or butter knife as that would be the quality for price point.
