THE TRILOGY – BY THE HOT TICKET X RODRIGUEZ CIGARS X MY CIGAR PACK
Cigars by The Hot Ticket Podcast… That’s it.
Pioneers, innovators, and disrupters. Kory and Chris Allen (2/3 of the Allen triplets) have been running an incredible media outlet in our industry with a unique and admirable approach, and we all love them. Our partnership has grown in the last few years but most importantly, our friendship. These guys have been deeply embedded in the cigar culture, visiting operations in Latin America, constantly educating themselves on the craft, engaging with shops across the US and other places in the world, and continuously submerging themselves both through their impactful platform and out of it to learn and grow with the cigar community.
We couldn’t be more humbled to serve as a platform that has enabled them to funnel an idea fueled by a unique representation and the maximal quality through a relentlessly timeless approach and an impeccable cigar manufacturer that is Danny DiFabio and Rodriguez cigars. In the developing stages of the project nearly two years ago, I asked the Allen twins who they’d like to work with for this project and without hesitation they pointed to Danny, whom I had also been strengthening my relationship with, and as a reputable cigar maker who shares our values and vision, he poised as the perfect component to this the threesome that would empower the creation of The Trilogy.
In terms of the concept and branding, The Trilogy is a series of 3 cigars that are interconnected through the concept of ‘bettering’ each other, and an allusion to the Rocky film series, as the Knockout represents Rocky with the Red footband, a cigar that will “knock any other cigar out,” while the subsequent releases Rival and Comeback represent improved versions of the first release, the first one alluding to Ivan Drago with the pointy hair and yellow color (it’s a torpedo with a foot-band) and Comeback representing Rocky in the fourth movie of the series, where he comes back to a winning Drago and wins the fight with… Wait for it… a KO.
Rival and Comeback will be released in April and May. This page will include all the details when they release. Read below for all Knockout details.
