Simii Valley, CA - Renowned cigar accessory maker,
Colibri, has released a limited-edition cigar cutter to commemorate the efforts of
Cigar Rights of America (CRA).
“CRA has the difficult task of fighting for our freedom and I've seen an unbelievable effort and energy from CRA,” said Les Mann, Colibri's executive vice president. “This is a way Colibri can contribute to such an important cause.”
Based on Colibri's Cut cutter, the limited-edition CRA Cutter features spring-loaded blades made of 440 stainless steel that are large enough to slice a 62 ring-gauge cigar. Chrome-finished handles, shaped to fit nicely between the fingers, control the blades and ensure the cutting action stays smooth and crisp.
The cutter's hard rubber center is finished with an eye-catching custom “CRA Blue” (an official color of CRA), and is not available on any other Colibri cutter. The bold, white CRA acronym on the front contrasts perfectly with the CRA Blue, as does the red CRA logo on the back. Cigar Aficinado calls this cutter "an overall visual knockout."
The limited-edition cutter is reasonably priced at $45.00 and in keeping with CRA’s mission to support brick and mortar tobacconists; it's only available at CRA's Platinum-Level Great American Cigar Shops™. Visit www.CigarRights.org/GACS for a complete list.
"We wanted it to be a conversation piece," said Mann. "[The cutter] can open up a lot of discussion of what CRA stands for and fights for."
