J. London’s Lavender Telephone Booth Heads to Stores
The sixth installment in J. London’s Telephone Booth Series is on its way to stores, as the company is shipping the Lavender Telephone Booth today.
The cigar is a 5 x 50 robusto that uses a Dominican broadleaf maduro wrapper, and while the binder and filler are of undisclosed origin, the former is an olor varietal, while the filler uses criollo 98 ligero and olor viso. At the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show, Jonathan Fiant, owner of J. London Cigars, told halfwheel that the wrapper was grown on virgin soil, which had him excited for the flavor profile that this robusto will offer.
A total of 4,000 cigars have been produced, split into 800 packs of five cigars. As with the rest of the Telephone Booth Series, pricing is set at $14.80 per cigar and $73 per pack.
The company does not disclose where the cigars are made, other than Fiant saying that it is at a facility owned by a family with four generations of experience growing and processing tobacco, while the cigars were blended by “a master with over 40 years of experience in the industry.”
The Lavender joins the Blue, Orange, Pink, and Neon Green releases that have come out since the line’s debut in late 2022.
Correction (Aug. 15, 2024) A representative from J. London said that the Red Telephone Booth has not yet been released as originally listed in this story. We regret the error.

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.
