Vintage Rock-A-Feller Announces Art of Magic
This winter, Vintage Rock-A-Feller Cigars is scheduled to release a limited edition cigar that will help raise money for Phuck Cancer, a charity started by artist Jessi Flores.
The cigar is a 6 x 52 toro that uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, while the binder and filler use Nicaraguan tobaccos. The cigar is produced at the Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua. Each cigar is priced at $20 and sold in 10-count boxes. A total of 200 boxes have been produced, each signed by Flores, who designed the artwork for the release.
Vintage Rock-A-Feller is donating five percent of sales to the charity, which was started by Flores to help fund medical expenses for his daughter, Stephanie Nicole. Flores is best known for his time at Drew Estate and its Subculture Studios, where he designed a nearly countless amount of art for the company.
The cigar gets its name from the fact that Vintage Rock-A-Feller’s owner, Kevin Schweitzer, has been a magician since he was eight-years-old, and is a member of the Society of American Magicians.
Schweitzer said that the cigars are scheduled to ship at the beginning of January, barring any delays from the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.
