“As we are reacquainting the cigar world to Lars Tetens cigars,” said Alan, “Lars and I made a conscious decision to color code the boxes to represent the flavor and body levels of the cigars. Blue is mild, white is medium, orange is full and red is ‘Sweet N Spicy’. All of the boxes feature original graffiti artwork from Lars himself. Our goal is to expose as many cigar enthusiasts to Lars’s products in the easiest way possible. This is a very exciting opportunity and it is time to bring the Lars name back to prominence where it belongs!”
Lars Tetens cigars will make an appearance at the Alec Bradley booth at IPCPR 2019. They are expected to ship mid-August. The company also has a new website: larstetenscigars.com.
