Stolen Throne Highway Drifter Showing Up at Stores

The first release from Stolen Throne Cigars to be made with a shaggy foot is starting to hit retailers’ shelves.

Highway Drifter is a 6 x 52 toro made up of an Ecuadorian habano wrapper covering a binder and filler blend grown in Nicaragua. The cigars are made at the Rojas Cigar Factory in Nicaragua.

Each cigar has an MSRP of $13, and it is packaged in 10-count bundles. A total of 10,000 cigars are being released.

During a conversation at the 2026 PCA Convention & Trade Show, Lee Marsh, co-owner of Stolen Throne Cigars, told halfwheel that this limited release was inspired by the “outlaws,” people and companies that do things their own way.

According to Marsh, bundles of the Highway Drifter started shipping to retailers on Sept. 5.

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
