This release with include an enhanced blend and new 25-count packaging. In addition, this will also be a regular production offering in the United cigars profile.
The Firecracker is a 3 1/2 x 50 that features a long fuse stemming from the cap. The series started as a concept created by David Garofalo as an exclusive to his Two Guys Smoke Shop stores to commemorate Independence Day. The first Firecracker was done by My Father Cigars based on the Don Pepin Original Label. The series morphed into an annual release with different manufacturers producing Firecrackers. Eventually, the series moved into Garofalo’s United Cigars distribution arm.
The Black Bomb Firecracker uses a Mexican San Andres wrapper over a Sumatra binder and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Production comes from José Dominguez’s Tabacalera Magia – who also produces he current regular production United Cigars’ Firecracker.
Along with the enhanced blend, the Black Bomb Firecracker will ow be presented in 25 count box packaging in line with the other regular production United Firecracker design. The traditional Firecracker Americana color scheme has been replaced with a black and gold finish
