Announces Limited-Edition Fundraising Cigar

history
For
Immediate Release
Miami,
Florida- Viva Republica, a premium handmade cigar manufacturer, and
Operation: Cigars for Warriors, a nonprofit dedicated to serving U.S.
military members serving in combat zones, are pleased to announce a Veteran’s
Day limited-edition release cigar that will be sold to benefit the charity.
The
cigar will retail for $6, with all proceeds from the wholesale of the cigar to
authorized retailers going directly to Operation: Cigars for Warriors. The
limited edition run of 2,000 cigars is the first of its kind for Viva Republica
and will ship to stores next week on Veteran’s Day, November 10th,
2014.
“For
Veteran’s Day this year I wanted to do something for an organization that I
truly believe in,” said Jason Holly, owner of Viva Republica. “The volunteers of
Operation: Cigars for Warriors work tirelessly to get cigars to the men and
women fighting for our country.”
Not only
will this special run be a first for Viva Republica, it will be a first for
Operation: Cigars for Warriors as well. The proceeds from the sales of the
cigars are expected to be the largest single cash donation in the nonprofit’s
history.
“The
support of Viva Republica could not have come at a better time,” said Storm
Boen, Chairmen of the Board for Operation: Cigars for Warriors.
“Every month we have more requests from active duty troops than our
all-volunteer organization can fill and the donation from the sale of Viva’s
cigars will be used to defray our shipping costs when sending cigars to troops
overseas.”
Retailers can order the cigars
from Miami Cigar & Co., the exclusive American distributor of Viva
Republica.
The
cigar will measure 5 1/8 ” x 42” and is a medium-plus smoke. It was designed to
be a smoke that is bold and flavorful.
“This
release features a prototype Nicaraguan wrapper I have been working with,” said
Holly. “In terms of the blend, it’s a bit different style than the regular
production portfolio.”
