Visol Releases Canary and Zurich Lighters

Visol Products has released a pair of new lighters today, the Canary and the Zurich.

The Visol Canary, a long, slender lighter, features a wide, single-flame, adjustable torch, as well as a draw poker that comes out from the top of the lighter, a built-in punch cutter on its base, and a fuel window. Its metal body measures 5.9 x 0.59 x 0.59 inches and weighs 0.49 ounces, according to the company. It is offered in four colors: black, gold, green, and gunmetal, each of which has an MSRP of $30.

For a beefier, more feature-packed lighter, there’s the Visol Zurich. It offers a dual-torch flame, with the two flames angled towards each other. Beyond the flame, it features two cutters that are released via an automatic spring-action mechanism, with a v-cutter on the front and a guillotine cutter on the back.

The Zurich also offers a cigar rest, a built-in punch 7mm punch cutter, and a butane level viewing window. It measures 3.82 x 1.93 x 0.78 inches and weighs 0.4 pounds. It is offered in seven colors: black, blue, red, gunmetal, bronze, green, and silver, each of which has an MSRP of $70.

Both lighters are also available for customization and personalization via Visol Products.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and the G-League’s Valley Suns. I was previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League, and Goodyear Ballpark, spring training home of the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I’m a voiceover artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
