Total Flame Going Off the Rails at IPCPR 2014

Total Flame prides itself on being a cigar company with motorcycle roots and one of its recent additions makes that point clear. At this month’s upcoming IPCPR convention and trade show the company will debut Off the Rails (OTR), a cigar packaged specifically to be placed in motorcycle saddle bags.

The 4 1/2 x 52 OTRs are made at Plasencia Cigars S.A. using a Honduran wrapper and Nicaraguan fillers and are packaged in cans of four, to allow for easy storage on motorcycles. The company describes it as medium in strength.

Pricing has not yet been determined, but Total Flame expects to ship the cigars no later than Nov. 1.

Total Flame is owned by two Russian businessmen with its U.S. operations based in Amarillo, Texas. The company was established in 2010 and began setting up its U.S. operations in 2012.
