XIKAR PROTECTS YOUR INVESTMENT

Saving the World One Dry Cigar At a Time

Kansas City, MO It's a dangerous world out there and no cigar should have to face it alone. Every aficionado has at some time been disappointed to find his cigar dried out and damaged by the elements, inside or out of the pocket. XIKAR has designed a new line of products to make sure your investment is always protected.

The new line of gentlemen's accessories includes a pocket cigar case, bi-fold wallet, and valet-style keychain. Each piece incorporates black armada leather, white contrast stitching, and stainless steel resulting in elegant, functional products befitting this natural extension of the XIKAR product line.

The pocket cigar case keeps cigars fresh while showing modern style you can call your own. Black, top-grain, armada leather gives the piece both a well- dressed appearance and a soft feel, while the white contrast stitching, designed to secure the seams of the piece, gives the case a sense of modern durability. The inner lining of the case, crafted with genuine cedar, holds the ambient humidity of the cigar and projects the fresh cedar smell of a humidor every time it is opened. Metal caps covering each end of the case reinforce the strength of the piece while adding yet another element of style.

The bi-fold wallet and keychain follow the XIKAR commitment to functionality and superior form by incorporating quality materials and simple, innovative design. The wallet showcases the same black armada leather and white contrast stitching as the cigar case while offering ample storage with six credit card slots and one large bill pocket. The XIKAR keychain is slim and stylish while being extremely useful when faced with a valet-parking situation. Its resourceful design allows you to remove one of the four rings on the keychain by simply pulling your thumb across the spring-loaded release mechanism which automatically re-closes, ensuring that your keys are not removed without your intention.

This extension of the XIKAR product line offers the everyday man a way to protect his assets with high style without having to pay a high price. These gentlemen's accessories are stylish and functional but still durable enough for everyday use.
