250TH YEAR CELEBRATING OUR INDEPENDENCE WILL BE WITH FIRECRACKER
Hudson, NH – Independence Firecracker will release for the 250th anniversary of our United States. United Cigars and
Arnold Andre collaborated to celebrate the anniversary and the longest running collaboration series in the industry. As
a member of ProCigar, German based Arnold Andre celebrated their 200th anniversary in 2017 and 2026 will mark their
15th year in the Dominican Republic where their premium cigars are rolled.
The Independence Firecracker measures 3 ½ x 50 and fashion the original fuse on the head of each cigar to help light up
the skies for this yearly collaboration from United Cigars. Blended for the taste of freedom with ligero filler leaves from
the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua with a Dominican binder. The Independence Firecrackers uses a Mexican
Habano wrapper to bring the celebration together
Oliver Nivaud of United Cigars said, “Our partnership with Arnold Andre began a few years ago and this profile came
together after many hours together in the factory. The company has purchased some amazing tobaccos over the years
and we were blessed to work with these aged leaves.”
These complex little vitolas have built a following for their rarity and their explosive profiles. With the 250th Anniversary
celebration in mind, these limited-edition Firecrackers will be packed in collectible tin boxes of 12 cigars. With ‘Land of
the Free’ and ‘Home of the Brave’ boldly inscribed of the sides, the tin boxes can be inverted to become your personal
ashtray after the cigars are enjoyed.
The Independence Firecracker smokes as a medium plus bodied cigar, with balanced strength courtesy of the dual
country ligero blend. Starting with a dance of floral pastures and wheat fields, the cigars pop with baking spices and
opens to a piquant journey
The Independence Firecracker will have a suggested retail of $9 with a ship date in June 2026. Quantities are extremely
limited, so be sure to secure your box of this historic release
