Continues Wildfire-Like Growth in Cigar Accessory Market
Kansas City, MO - Make no mistake about it: XIKAR isn’t looking back as
it launches two new lighter models this spring. Last
year’s breakout success, the Executive lighter,
proved XIKAR’s commitment to bringing its signature
of style and value to the lighter market. This year,
the stage is set and the fittingly named Genesis and
Element will hit stores in late June.
So what brings XIKAR to this highly competitive
market?
The answer lies in the company’s obsession to
transform high-end designs into a full line of
affordable cigar accessories. President Kurt Van
Keppel explains, “21st century aficionados demand
sophisticated tools that won’t break their budgets.
The challenge of creating the Genesis and Element to
satisfy such discerning consumers drives innovation
in everything we do. We treat these challenges as
opportunities and our growth reflects that.”
With more product introductions planned in 2006, the
single jet Genesis and double jet Element are just the
beginnings of a full gentlemen’s accessory line from
XIKAR.
GENESIS
This slim, sleek single jet flame boasts a simple,
thumb action Piezo ignition. A fuel gauge and
oversize adjustment wheel ensure the right amount
of flame anytime. The body is a metal casing with
durable polished finishes of black, silver, gunmetal,
red and blue. Suggested retail price is $39.99
ELEMENT
When one jet flame just won’t cut it, the Element
offers an industrious double jet flame with a thumb
press action. This opens a protective flip top to
expose a double Piezo ignition powerful enough for
any size cigar. A side fuel gauge and oversize
adjustment wheel ensure the right amount of fuel
anytime. A thick metal casing accents durable
polished finishes of black, silver, gunmetal, red and
blue. Suggested retail price is $49.99
