The First Ever DIY Cigar Cone
Innovation is one of the last words that come to mind when you think of Big Tobacco. Traditionally the tobacco industry has been wholly stagnant due to an oligarchy of decision makers who run the markets around the world. There has not been much innovation to the tobacco leaf and most tobacco leaf products on the market are low quality.
In this article I want to highlight a new, worthwhile innovation happening within the world of tobacco.
A new premium company, Pearls, is bringing a new level of convenience to the tobacco world as the first pre-rolled cigar that comes with a reusable, engineered glass tip that guarantees an even smoke every time. Each cigar cone is made from premium maduro leaves grown on their vertically integrated farm in Nicaragua that’s been aged for no less than two years. This aging process ensures quality and taste and guarantees the richest smoking experience. Their patent-pending rolling process and patent-pending packaging with rolling tray keep the cigars fresh. In addition, each package of cigars comes with a packer should the customer choose to remove the tobacco and replace it with cannabis. While the product is a tobacco product first, cannabis users can empty their cigar and use it as a luxury pre-rolled blunt with a glass tip that they can pack themselves. In cannabis stores you are not allowed to have products that mix tobacco & cannabis, and so Pearls is the perfect product because it is industry compliant because tobacco and cannabis are independent of each other at the point of sale. Pearls is a gem among a sea of deteriorated tobacco products moving ahead of market leader — Backwoods.
For decades Backwoods has monopolized the tobacco leaf in the Dominican Republic. Pearls is daring to become the catalyst for change in a billion dollar market with the launch of their vertically integrated tobacco farms in Nicaragua . The brainchild of Antony Levison (CEO), Pearls recognizes that cannabis connoisseurs struggle with rolling their flower in tobacco leaves like Backwoods. Therefore the pre-roll nature of Pearls gives the consumer an opportunity to pack their roll with flower for a quality smoke each and every time. Never again will top shelf flower be rolled in bottom-of-the-barrel tobacco leaves.
As a writer, I am frequently highlighting individuals like Antony who are innovating in their industries. Levinson, only twenty two years old, has a very impressive cannabis portfolio and brands with patent protected products that have been bought millions of times in retail locations. At just nineteen years old, Barewoods Wax Cigar was one of his most notable achievements, winning the High Times SoCal Cannabis Cup Competition in 2018 for Best Product of the Year. Levinson continues to serve as a partner in many major cannabis brands and is growing as a notable business leader in the space.
Meyer Akhavan, President of Pearls, adds to the team’s extensive experience having been in the fashion industry for over thirty years as one of the first and biggest wholesale liquidators in Los Angeles. Akhavan is an expert at developing brands that people love. He owns well-known clothing brands in Asia and Eastern Europe and this skill set has been a major benefit for Levinson and the rest of the Pearls team.
Levinson and Akhavan are committed to making products that provide pleasurable experiences to their customers.
Pearls, owned by Happy Products, LLC, is creating a sub-niche market within the tobacco and cannabis worlds as a premium pre-rolled tobacco leaf.
