Vector-KGM has been cranking out new UV colorways for its ICON I, ICON IV and Bishop lines, and after announcing four new options for the ICON models earlier this week, the company has announced that those same four colors will be coming to the Bishop line.

The Vector Bishop is a flat flame lighter—or pyramid flame, as the company calls it—that is operated via a lever action ignition. It also offeres a fuel window on the side of the lighter. It is designed to be slim and pocket-friendly, with a body that measures 2.67 x .41 x 1.53 inches, and its weight is listed at 6.5 ounces by the company.

After adding five UV colors in late October, four more are slated to be released by late December:

  • Native Turquoise
  • Gold Navy Blue Waves
  • Pink Blue Crackle
  • Black Tan Ripple

Each of the four new color options is priced at $35, the same as the other five UV prints and the other colors in the line. The Bishop was announced in June 2022 and came out later that year in seven traditional colors.

The company also announced that the ICON I and ICON IV models with the new colors will be coming out earlier than expected, as they are slated to be released in the next week or two. They were originally announced with a January release date.

Update — Shortly after this article was published, the company confirmed that the ICON I and ICON IV in the four new color ways will ship on Monday, Dec. 4, while they will be available in the Bishop line on Friday, Dec. 8.

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 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.
