Posted on June 11 2026
United Cigars and master blender Arnold Andre have created something special to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States — the Independence Firecracker 250th Anniversary, shipping June 12.
Wrapper: Mexican Habano
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican, Nicaraguan Ligero
Strength: Medium +
Format: Firecracker (3.5x50) with signature fuse cap
Price: $44.95 / 5 pack | $99.99 / tin of 12
The Firecracker format is already one of the most iconic in the United catalog — compact, punchy, and packed with flavor. The 250th edition adds a rich Mexican Habano wrapper over Dominican and Nicaraguan Ligero fillers for notes of cedar, earth, pepper, roasted nuts, leather, and natural sweetness from first light to final draw.
Presentation is the real story here. Each cigar ships in a collectible patriotic tin stamped with "Land of the Free" and "Home of the Brave" — and the tin flips open into a personal ashtray. A genuinely collectible 4th of July release.
