The Lotus Group has announced the first two new products that it will be showcasing at this week’s TPE 2022 in Las Vegas.

The first is the Vertigo Gator, a new single flame torch lighter. It measures 3.125 x 1.5 x .75 inches and offers a single action ignition, wind resistant flame, a retractable cigar punch and sturdy metal housing. It is offered in four colors: black, copper, a U.S. flag design and a camouflage design, each of which has an MSRP of $19.99.

All four design options are available to ship to retailers now.

The company is also releasing the Lotus Clarity Lash 15 ashtray, a single stirrup, glass ashtray that is also dishwasher safe and comes individually boxed. It measures 1.35 x 4.75 x 3.5 inches and is priced at $9.99. The ashtray can also be customized with a logo in the middle of the bowl either by printing or engraving, for stores or companies that want to offer a customized product.

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.
