Fourth of July Going Black

United Cigars can finally reveal the long awaited 2025 Firecracker: Micallef Black Firecracker. With limited quantities produced, this is a fiery tribute to the spirit of independence. This limited-edition cigar is a powerful collaboration, offering passionados a truly unique experience that captures the essence of freedom and celebration.

The Micallef Black Firecracker stands out with the distinctive United Firecracker fuse design crafted from Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper leaf, a visual representation of its namesake. Measuring a compact, yet powerful 3 1/2 x 50. Keeping in the tradition of the Firecracker, Micallef has added a bit of additional punch to this vitola.

Wrapped in a rich Mexican San Andrés leaf, with an Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan fillers, the Micallef Black Firecracker is a powerful representation of the line. Rolled with precision at the Micallef Cigars S.A. factory in Nicaragua, this collaboration could set a new standard for strength and body when it comes to Firecracker limited releases.

“Joining the ranks of legendary cigar makers to craft the Firecracker is both an honor and a testament to our commitment to excellence.” said Al Micallef, Founder of Micallef Cigars. “This creation embodies the Micallef spirit of pushing boundaries while honoring our rich heritage.”

Scheduled for release in June 2025, the Micallef Black Firecracker will be available exclusively through United Firecracker retailers across the United States. With a limited production run, this commemorative cigar is expected to ignite excitement among collectors and enthusiasts alike. As of today, the cigars have been resting for 10 months, making them perfect for savoring.

The suggested retail price is $9 per cigar, packaged in boxes of 20.
