What's New

 

We have the new Xikar Ash Can in stock now.  These handy portable ashtrays fit perfectly in your car's cup holder.  The ring holder is for holding the cigar when you first start it.  The spiral holder is for when you're down to the nub.  The Xikar Ash Can is made from stainless steel and comes with a screw lid so you can lock in the ashes and aromas.

Their superb craftsmanship and full Lifetime Warranty make Xikar lighters the very best you can buy.  I went through their whole collection and hand-picked the best ones.  We have a wide range of styles.  Prices start at only $29.99.  Here are the styles I went with:

 

 

The Xikar Executive lighter features a lighting mechanism on the side of the lighter so your fingers are kept away from the powerful jet flame. They also have an oversized, easy to use flame adjust wheel.

 

 

 

 

The Xikar Element is one of the most popular lighters they make. They have a powerful double jet flame as well as a razor sharp cigar punch cut.

 

 

The Xikar Exodus lighter is a windproof lighter with a stunning geometric design. They have an easy to use flame adjust dial.

 

Only 1,000 of these polished stainless steel cutters were produced. The first 200 will be released in July with the remaining 800 coming out in September. This year's limited edition cutter features a diamond engraved Mayan theme.  We only received one cutter with this first shipment.  It is #18/1000

 

I think this may be the best special we have ever had at Jack Schwartz Importer. Normally, these kinds of deals can only be offered to customers here in the store. We are indeed running a Xikar event at Jack Schwartz Importer on Friday, October 16^th from noon to 2:30. This time we are proud to offer ALL our customers, internet and local, this very special promotion from Xikar.

 

When you purchase any box of HC Series cigars from Xikar you will receive a free Xikar Havana Collection lighter. These exquisite Havana Collection lighters retail for $100. They are windproof and come with Xikar’s full lifetime warranty.

 

I was very surprised when Xikar called to tell me about this special. Not only because the lighters are $100, but because these HC Series cigars are some of the hottest selling cigars here at Jack Schwartz Importer.

 

We carry two blends of the HC Series. The HC Series Criollo is a perfectly balanced blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos, made by Jesus Fuego. The HC Series Criollo is actually the same popular blend Xikar previously released under the name of Defiance. 

 

The HC Series Colorado has been the hottest brand in the store. This is another Nicaraguan puro made my Jesus Fuego. The blend is made from well aged Nicaraguan tobaccos that deliver rich, bold flavors. The stunning, dark Nicaraguan Habano Colorado wrapper brings out a hint of sweetness and adds to the complexity of the cigars.

 

Because this is part of an in-store event we will be shipping all orders on Friday, October 16^th. All boxes are available for order now. This is a deal you don’t want to pass up. This special ends at exactly 2:30 on October 16^th; and once it is done, it’s done. This is an excellent chance to pick up not only some fantastic cigars but a free high-quality lighter as well. 

The only cutter you will ever need.  Xikar is know for their quality craftsmanship and their LIFETIME warranty.  Aside from losing the cutter you will never have to worry about your Xikar.  If the blade dulls, just send it in and Xikar will take care of it.  If you get a knick or a scratch, send it back to Xikar for a brand new cutter.  Xikar's customer service is top notch.  They are a bunch of cutters at many price points to choose from.   

 

There are three blends in the HC Series.  I decided to bring in the medium and full bodies versions. 

 

If you were a fan of the popular Defiance line this is the cigar for you. Same blend, just a different band on it. A perfectly balanced, medium-bodied cigar. The dark, attractive Shade Grown Criollo wrapper aged 4 years is impeccable. This tasty cigar masterfully balances leathery flavors with pleasant tea intonations and Caramel notes!

 

Wrapped in a beautiful cocoa colored wrapper, the Habano Colorado is a smooth, rich tasting cigar with chocolate notes. The well aged tobacco makes for an interesting medium to full bodied cigar that is moderately strong with just a hint of sweetness.
