There will soon be a new Lotus triple flame torch lighter hitting store shelves, as the company has announced that the L76 Matrix will make its debut at this week’s Total Product Expo (TPE) in Las Vegas.

The lighter features three wind-resistant jet torches that are angled towards each other to create a high-powered, precise flame. The lighter features a metal housing that is offered in four color and finish options: rubberized black, metallic brown, orange, and metallic blue. The L76 Matrix measures 3.22 inches tall, 1.654 inches wide and 0.8 inches thick, according to a press release from the company.

In addition, the L76 Matrix offers a 9mm fold-out cigar punch and a large fuel window on the front of the body.

Pricing is set at $49.95, and the lighters are in stock and ready to ship, according to Rosemary Sharp, president of The Lotus Group.

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 and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, 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.
