The newest product to bare the Vivid brand is a line of premium cigars from Club De Players. Vivid Sophisticate Premium Hand Made Cigars will be sold in gentlemen’s clubs, adult retail outlets, traditional smoke shops and via the Internet, including VividCigars.com.

Michael P. Hachikian, presidentof Club de Players, noted that there are about 14 million cigar smokers in the United States who consume at least one or two cigars a week. “The largest segment is in the affluent, professional 25-55 year-old demographic, which is an excellent fit with the Vivid consumer.”

Vivid Sophisticates are nurtured and made in the Cuban traditionwith 100 percent Cuban seed tobacco. They will be packaged in a glass tube with a four-color, two-sided limited editionmini-poster of one of the Vivid Girls rolled around each cigar. Featured in the first of 16 different poster inserts are Vivid Girls Tawny Roberts and Sunrise Adams.

“These cigars are hand-rolled by master cigar makers and areblended with the finest aged Nicaraguan tobacco,” “They are finished with the famous Corojo wrapper, which is grown and harvested in the Jalapa Valley in northern Nicaragua and aged for a minimum of four years. The concept is to enhance the club experience for men and women who enjoy smoking the occasional fine cigar.”
