Meerapfel Cigar Launching Création Liberté at InterTabac 2024 to Support Cigar Rights Organizations
Meerapfel Cigar has announced its newest cigar release, a limited edition called Création Liberté that the company is using to help raise funds for organizations that support cigar rights around the world.
The cigar is a 6 x 50 toro that uses the Meerapfel family’s signature Cameroon wrapper over an undisclosed binder and filler, with production limited to just 1,226 cigars for a global release.
Création Liberté is presented in two-count, Paulownia wood chests that are priced at $240 per chest in the U.S. and €240 elsewhere. The company says that funds raised from the cigar will be used to support platforms around the world that defend the rights of individuals to enjoy premium cigars, including Cigar Rights of America.
Each set also includes a numbered lithographic artwork.
“Fierce anti-tobacco movements continue to infringe on fundamental rights and the liberties of responsible adult citizens,” the company said in a press release. “Now more than ever, the global fight for cigar rights has become vital for the survival of a multi-century-old cigar heritage, our culture and traditional craftsmanship.”
A shipping date has not yet been announced, but Reinhard Pohorec, vp of Meerapfel Cigar, said they will be shipped in the upcoming fall months. “As one global cigar family, we can make a difference; Création Liberté shall contribute to its prophecy: preserving our liberty,” said Pohorec.
The company will be presenting Création Liberté at the InterTabac 2024 trade fair, happening this week in Dortmund, Germany.

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.
