Lotus Ships Three New Gift Sets to Retailers

Three different gift sets that the Lotus Group showed off at the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show are now on the way to retailers.

The first is the Chroma Marathon Man Ashtray Gift Set, pictured above, which includes a single-stick melamine ashtray, a Lotus Chroma double flame lighter and a Lotus Marathon Man cutter made with stainless steel serrated blades that can cut up to 70-ring gauge cigars.

All three items in the set are the same gray color, and they are packaged in a decorative gift box with an MSRP of $69.95 each. The gray coloway is a new option for both the ashtray and the Marathon Man lighter in this set.

Lotus is also shipping two different versions of a Travel Humidor Gift Set, each with the same MSRP of $39.99. Both sets include the same Vertigo Big Boy cigar cutter capable of cutting cigars up to 64-ring gauge and five-cigar travel humidor, but the Page Big Boy Travel Humidor Gift Set includes a Vertigo Page flat flame torch lighter, while the Forester Big Boy Travel Humidor Gift Set includes a Vertigo Forester triple flame torch lighter.

In addition, all three items in the Page Gift Set are only available in green, while the items included in the Forester Gift Set are available only in black. The green colorway is a new option for both the Big Boy cutter and the travel humidor, but the black color option is already available for the travel humidor, Big Boy cutter and Forester lighter.

During a conversation at the 2024 PCA Convention, Rosemary Sharp, president of the Lotus Group, told halfwheel that all three gift sets are shipping to stores now.

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
