Press Release: Famous Smoke Shop Introduces Inferno Flashpoint Cigars

January 30, 2014 (Easton, Pa.) — Famous Smoke Shop is a leading online distributor of discounted premium cigars. The company specializes in offering the web’s widest selection of cigars at the lowest prices. Famous has just released a new brand in collaboration Oliva cigars. The new release is Inferno Flashpoint cigars, and they are exclusively available at Famous Smoke Shop. The first shipment has just arrived at the company’s warehouse and is currently available for sale on their website. The company has expressed that the new brand will be available in limited quantities, but is not a one-time release and will be a consistent offering for the foreseeable future.

The Inferno Flashpoint is the second release under the Inferno umbrella, the first brand in the series, Inferno, was introduced in 2012. The Inferno Flashpoint is a new blend, designed to provide sophisticated and complex flavors for the discerning cigar connoisseur. Due to the tobaccos utilized in this new premium blend, the cigars will be made in small batches and production on the brand will be limited.

Inferno Flashpoint cigars utilize a blend of rich and spicy Nicaraguan Habano ligero tobacco with long-filler Jalapa tobacco that adds sweetness to the flavor profile. The cigar is finished off with an exquisite Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that creates a well balanced smoke. This is a full bodied cigar that will appeal to smokers who enjoy bold flavors similar to the signature style found in the most popular Cuban cigars.

“This has been an extremely exciting project since the start,” said Famous Smoke Shop Vice President Michael Vandenstockt. “The Oliva Cigar Company is steeped in tradition, and their commitment to blending the finest cigars is immediately apparent in this blend. Cigar smoking is a decadent escape from the stresses and problems of life, and I’m proud to share the Inferno Flashpoint with our loyal customers as I know it will deliver this luxurious smoking experience. It also will provide smokers with an outstanding value, as the Inferno Flashpoint is comparable to many premium cigars that retail for twice the price.”

The Inferno Flashpoint is available in three sizes – a 7 x 50 Churchill, a 5 x 52 Robusto, and a 6 ½ x 52 Torpedo. Individual retail prices range from $7.00 to $7.80 per cigar, and with Famous’ full box discount pricing they can be purchased for as little as $6.29 per cigar.

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.
