Cigar News: Protocol Announces Coppers for Vintage Cigar Lounge and Club

Cigar News: Protocol Announces Coppers for Vintage Cigar Lounge and Club Protocol Cigars has announced their first new release of 2021, a shop exclusive called the Protocol Coppers for Vintage Cigar Lounge and Club in Westerly, RI. As with all their releases, it keeps the law enforcement theme. The old time word for Police offers was “Coppers” because of the roofing material that was used to make their badges. In Britain police were called “Coppers” because of the color of their shinny buttons on their uniforms. This vintage look inspired the packaging.
