Kurt's Corner
Dear XIKAR Friends,
"Time flies when you're having fun." That saying is as true as everhere at XIKAR
headquarters. For the past few months
we've been putting the final touches on the HC Series Cigar Collection
launch, arguably our most anticipated creation in years. We've also been planning
our new product showcase, including extremely cool and innovative accessories,
for the cigar industry's biggest event this August: The International Premium
Cigar and Pipe Retailers Show in New Orleans.
So let's get down to business and give you the inside scoop
on everything XIKAR, including a first look at some new accessories debuting in
New Orleans, restaurant and cigar-friendly locations we'll be hitting in
that great city, and then let's give you a chance to win some of those
tasty HC Series Cigars at an in-store event near you!

Top Secret IPCPR
Unveiling: NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN XIKAR lighters and cutters!
Our designs often take years to perfect. We test and re-test to ensure you have more
than just a cool cigar cutter or lighter; you have a tool that will enhance
your smoke for many years to come. We
can't give away all our secrets, but here are a few sneak peeks at some items
we'll debut in August and hit stores by the holidays:
TOP SECRET
Carbon Fiber Ultra Slim: Take your favorite trait from the Ultra Slim Cutter, add some space age material and you are set to cut your cigars in style.
Allure: Female cigar smokers asked for a great
lighter and
we've got one just for them. Sister to the Genesis, the Allure sports a soft candle flame.
Scribe: Smaller is better.
In this case we're sure you'll agree. This pen shaped pipe lighter is always ready.

New
Orleans restaurants and cigar-friendly destinations
After a long day at the IPCPR show our crew will be ready to
relax with great food, great wine and great company. We'll also want to enjoy a good cigar, but
unfortunately most New Orleans restaurants are no longer cigar-friendly. So we'll compromise: good food, then
cigars.
Check out our list below for some great
recommendations. Of course, if you are
in need of a great accessory in New Orleans, check out your nearest XIKAR
retailer first!
