Cigar Cruising

Muscle-bound machinery and cigars have always seemed to go together. Corona Cigar Co., based in Orlando, Florida, has taken this to heart and come up with a brawny vehicle decorated with icons of the cigar industry.
Corona created the Smoking Cruiser by taking a Hummer H2 SUV and outfitting it with an aficionado's dream detailing job that functions dually as an eye-catching advertisement. Instead of paint, the body of the truck is covered with Controltac vinyl, which showcases a multicolored menagerie of images featuring some of the industry's top cigarmakers.
Avo Uvezian's portrait graces the driver's side, along with logos from Camacho and Indian Tabac. Drive up along the passenger side and you find a long-legged Perdomo-smoking beauty, as well as the golden Diamond Crown Maximus band and the C.A.O. insignia. Acid cigars bring up the rear and Cielo, Corona's own brand, stretches across the hood.
The Cruiser can be seen rambling down the road like a moving billboard in the Orlando area, where it will be taking a turn through local theme parks, tourist districts and major sporting events such as the PGA's Bay Hill Tournament, Daytona Speedweeks and Bike Week. Also in Cigar News:
