Elote (E-Lo-Tay) is a famous Mexican dish more commonly known in the United States as Street Corn.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In 2007, the Firecracker line was born. The first cigar on the market with a long piece of tobacco at the head shaped like a \u2018wick\u2019 or \u2018fuse\u2019 to capture its name; Firecracker. After a few years on the market, the limited release Firecrackers came to life as United Cigars collaborated with a new manufacturer every year to create a celebration cigar for our nation\u2019s Independence Day. Now, United Cigars extends their holiday collaborations with the Elote Firecracker.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Noel Rojas known as \u201cThe King of the Small Gauge Cigars\u201d was a perfect partner for a Firecracker collaboration. Using his highly rated Street Taco Barbacoa blend was the right fit for a Cinco De Mayo Firecracker.\u201cStreet Taco came about from my love for traditional Mexican street food and cigars,\u201d said Noel Rojas, owner of Rojas Cigars. \u201cThe Elote Firecracker is a brilliant compliment to this blend.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Elote Firecracker<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span>Factory: Tabacalera Flor de San Luis<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span>Origin: Nicaraguan<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span>Wrapper: Ecuadorian<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span>Binder: Nicaraguan<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span>Filler: Nicaraguan<br \/>\nBox Count: 16 Cigars<br \/>\nMSRP: $8.00 Single\/ $128 Box 16<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span>Production: 3,200 Cigars \/ 200 Boxes<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Director of Operations for United Cigars, Oliver Nivaud said,\u201cWorlds collided when I first smoked the Street Taco from Rojas. My love of street tacos is well known, and the Elote Firecracker now completes my cravings as a smokable antojito.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Elote Firecracker will begin shipping to retailers April 17th.
