It was a bit weird not seeing Jason Lois in the Crossfire Cigars booth this year, but the company is moving forward and plans to be around despite the uncertainty currently surrounding the cigar industry due to FDA regulation. This year, the company focused on its core brands while also unveiling a new limited edition.
Crossfire Cigars Parkview
Using the same wrapper found on Legends of the Arapiraca, the third edition of the company’s Library Series, this limited edition also uses Dominican binder and fillers but is said to offer a different profile than what Legends does.
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Arapiraca
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler: Dominican Republic
Crossfire Cigars Parkview (5 3/4 x 46) — $8.33 (Box of 12, $100)
Launch Date: Immediately following the trade show.
Production: 260 Boxes of 12 Cigars

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
