Heavenly Cigar Company has reintroduced their original 5-Pack Samplers of Heaven handmade premium flavored cigars. “These were our first sample packages, and their popularity was significant in establishing Heavenly Cigar as a leading maker of premium flavored cigars,” states company founder and CEO Heather L. Phillips. “The original idea for the 5-Packs came from learning that smokers were not buying just one Heaven flavored cigar, but a handful at a time. So, we designed packaging to encourage multiple-cigar purchases. But, as our line expanded to 10 flavors, we passed out the 5-Pack Samplers. Over time, we found the demand by retailers and smokers was still strong for this presentation. Since their 5 flavors are still our most popular, we’ve brought them back again.”
As in the original introduction, Heavenly is offering the 5-Packs with one cigar each of the flavors. Both the cigar bands and box labels identify the names of the flavors, and each flavor bears a different colored band, to make product selection easy. They are: Heavenly Vanilla (Prussian blue), the company’s first and still most popular flavor; Cupid’s Cherry Cream (pink and cream); Angel’s Spice Cinnamon (red); Raging Rum (orange and gold); and Chocolate Thunder (brown). The cigars are available in Corona (5.5 x 46) and Petite (5 x 30) sizes. The filler is a top-quality Dominican leaf, with a Sumatran wrapper. The company’s two-day, five-point flavoring process is, according to Phillips, “Unique to Heaven flavored cigars. Also, we don’t just sugar-tip the cigars. We add a hint of the flavoring to the sweetening agent.”
Suggested retail pricing is $15.95 for a 5-Pack of Petites, and $19.95 for a 5-Pack of Coronas. The company’s other sampler, their “10 Disciples” gift set, offers all ten of the Heaven flavors with a double-guillotine cutter and matches. Heaven cigars are also presented in finely-finished Spanish cedar boxes of 25 cigars. States Phillips, “With Valentine’s and Father’s Days coming up, Heaven flavored cigars in 5-Packs will make great gifts ... a 5-Pack ‘smack’ for your sweetheart!”
