Total Flame Dark Line

Around the year 2010, Vladimir Roshchin and Maxim Privezentsev met at a cigar event in Moscow, Russia, and quickly realized they shared two common passions: cigars and motorcycles. They soon realized they both had the dream of launching their own cigar line and promoting it on a motorcycle trip around the world.

In 2010, the two traveled to Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic to create and finalize the blends with their chosen partners, Plasencia S.A. and La Aurora S.A. After several months and smoking up to 30 cigars a day (wow, what a challenge... ;-)), they achieved their goal and blended what they believed were the best cigars. The result is a remarkable tobacco combination from no less than 6 (!) different origins. Each tobacco leaf enriches the complete blend with its own unique character. The medium-bodied aroma offers high complexity throughout the smoking experience, with delicate nuances of leather and cedarwood, giving the cigars their distinctive touch.

They then established a company in Russia and initially sold their cigars exclusively there. On October 15, 2011, they set off on their Harley Davidson Sportsters from the Red Square in Moscow and toured around the world in 276 days. They traveled west to Europe, through Spain to Africa, then to Namibia, Australia, and Argentina. From there, they headed north to the USA and finally back home to Russia, passing through China and Mongolia.

In September 2015, the cigars were introduced to Germany through the importer Kohlhase & Kopp. The Dominican Dark Line is the stronger of the two main series. Produced in the oldest cigar factory in the Dominican Republic, Tabacalera La Aurora S.A., they are rolled with an exceptional blend of Peruvian, Brazilian, Nicaraguan, and Dominican tobaccos. They are then wrapped with a Dominican binder and finally finished with an Ecuadorian wrapper.
