High profile new magazine engages women through a combination of fashion, entertainment and the Art of Cigars.
(PRLog) -- Las Vegas, NV -- Coming this Spring 2012, a new lifestyle magazine will make its debut into the world of fashion, music, entertainment, luxury, and...
cigars? Remarkably, the magazine appeals primarily to female hobbyists in the 22-55 age range, a segment that has gone ignored in a market dominated in the past by men. While the male audience has drawn the majority of the attention in former years, it is the women who are the primary buyers in the retail shopping and lifestyle industries, a prime target for the magazine. Its digital pre-release edition has drawn rave reviews online, thanks in part to a celebrity sponsor and co-founder, Merald "Bubba” Knight, III, songwriter/producer with Knightridahz Entertainment and choreographer for family icons Gladys Knight and the Pips.
"The magazine and music are both forms of entertainment that compliment each other well" said Knight. "I think this magazine liberates, and that's important. It represents a luxury lifestyle that de-stresses our lives as does music. Both are a form of therapy. So for the same reason, I do music, I do this. We have a unique vehicle of information, music and entertainment. We've created a trend, and I expect the magazine will be an enormous success."
Record Rates of New Female Cigar Hobbyists in the U.S.
The numbers would certainly indicate a strong market, with over 250 million female enthusiasts in the world, and an increasing number of them in the United States. American women alone spend about $5 trillion annually.*
Courtney Smith, VP at La Palina Cigars states “Lit Lifestyle for Women is a befitting addition to the cigar community. Women have always been an integral part of the cigar industry and lifestyle.” Smith continued “It is exciting to have a publication to highlight their voice, and in a forum that will appeal to the community as a whole. I look forward to the Spring 2012 launch of Lit Lifestyle for Women and their deserved success."
Founded in 2011, Lit Lifestyle Magazine for Women is published by Incognito Inc. in collaboration with Knightridahz Entertainment in Las Vegas.
