New Delhi, India – 2nd September – In a landmark collaboration, Luxury Ampersand Frolics Group, the parent company of India Cigar Club, has partnered with German Engineered Cigars (GEC) to introduce a unique fundraising initiative in support of the internationally respected nonprofit Arms Around the Child.
This partnership expands on the strong alliance between India Cigar Club and German Engineered Cigars, which has already positioned the Club as the exclusive distributor of GEC across India and the Middle East. With this initiative, both brands are taking their commitment a step further by exclusively adopting the Half Corona vitola across all four GEC lines, ensuring a long-term impact that goes beyond limited editions.
Exclusive Fundraising Cigars
The initiative launches with two premium blends, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic:
- RVGN (Dominican Republic): Features an Ecuadorian Hybrid Seed wrapper, Dominican Criollo 98 binder, and a rich filler of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Pennsylvania Piloto.
- Raumzeit (Nicaragua): Crafted with a Nicaraguan Connecticut wrapper, Indonesian Sumatra binder, and fillers of Nicaraguan Jalapa and Dominican Piloto.
Both blends are now available in the Half Corona format, offering cigar connoisseurs a refined experience while directly supporting a global cause.
A Collaboration with Purpose
“This initiative underscores the transformative power of collaboration and purpose,” said Raahuul Kapoor, Chairman & Founding Partner of Luxury Ampersand Frolics Group. “By fully adopting an entire vitola across all GEC lines, we’re creating continuity. Our clients and partners can enjoy exceptional cigars knowing that every purchase contributes to a safe and nurturing future for children in need.”
A minimum of 10% of the MSRP from every sale — adjusted by market — will directly support Arms Around the Child, a nonprofit dedicated to providing safe homes, healthcare, and education for vulnerable children worldwide.
Oliver Nickels, Co-Founder of German Engineered Cigars, added: “We are proud to deepen our partnership with Luxury Ampersand Frolics Group and India Cigar Club. These cigars go beyond luxury—they represent a commitment to global good. Every detail, from design to purpose, reflects our vision to pair enjoyment with impact.”
