Next month, a new cigar club around NFTs will launch called The Blockchainsmoker. As a part of this release, the club will team up with different brands to release limited, collectible, and exclusive cigars. The company has said the first release will come from Casdagli Cigars.
NFT stands for ‘Non-Fungible Token’, they are unique cryptographic tokens that exist on a blockchain, and they cannot be replicated. They can represent digital or real-world items like artwork and real estate or in this case, membership to a cigar club. There have been several NFT cigars. United Cigars introduced a conceptual cigar focusing on digital art. Recently La Flor Dominicana released the Golden NFT cigar which required obtaining an NFT via an auction. Later this year, Smoke Inn is teaming up with Tatuaje for an NFT project involving Tatuajeanarch.
The Blockchainsmoker says they will be the first cigar club tailored to the crypto space. You can enter the club at different membership tiers. A total of 2,400 NFTs will be available
Club Lounge (2000 NFTs)
VIP Lounge (200 NFTs)
VIP Inner Lounge (200 NFTS)
When you buy a membership NFT, you will – according to the different levels – be airdropped (for free) NFTs with allocation rights to buy Limited-Edition, Ultra Limited Edition, and/or Special Concept cigars. The cigars can be redeemed through the website and shipped worldwide. Airdrop NFTs that are not redeemed, can be sold on the open market. All cigars will be shipped through Casdagli Cigars once orders have been taken through the custom-made allocation-NFT redemption web interface from The Blockchainsmoker.
In addition, only membership NFTs will have access to all the extras that will be launched over time: events, accessories, exclusive dinners with founders, and more.
The cigar club concept kicks off with a fantastic cigar from Casdagli Cigars. The first batch is already produced, matured, and boxed.
“As well as being the home of Skype, Wise and Bolt, Estonia is famed as being one of the most IT savvy countries in the world. As a result, our lounge in Tallinn is often full of high-tech entrepreneurs. I am very excited to team up with two true Web3 visionaries, Martin and Rune, who also happen to be enthusiastic Casdagli Cigars’ aficionados to create this unique project,” says Jeremy Casdagli, the Owner of Casdagli Cigars and one of the three Founders of The Blockchainsmoker in a press release.
“The smoking experience from any Casdagli cigar leaves no doubt about the quality we can deliver,” says Rune Wennesland, also a Co-Founder of The Blockchainsmoker. “If you are in the crypto community and you are going to buy quality cigars, why not go for a concept that ignites both passion for cigars and for the Blockchain space? We are in a unique position with technical Blockchain knowledge, access to cigars and cigar brands to partner with, 25 years of experience with cigar production, near world-wide distribution in place, and a lot of passion for what we do,” Wennesland continues. “And what better gift to a crypto ‘Whale’ than a box of cigars called just that, ‘The Whale’,” he concludes.
“We look forward to building relationships within the cigar industry and jointly deliver some truly amazing cigars to this club from many different brands”, added Casdagli.
There is a Discord channel and website available with more information on the project.
