FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 2, 2018
At the 2016 IPCPR, Ventura Cigar Company (VCC) made a big splash in the cigar world and hosted a standing room only media event about their latest cigar line known as the Archetype. As explained at that event:
Archetype is inspired by the work of psychologist Dr. Carl Jung and mythographer Joseph Campbell who defined ‘archetypes’ as the constantly repeating characters who occur in the dreams of all people and the myths of all cultures. Campbell discovered, through his study of world myths, that the ‘Hero’s Journey’ is a common storytelling arc that has been retold in infinite variations since time began.
That journey started with 3 Archetype core blends:
- Dreamstate
- Sage Advice
- Strange Passage
The Journey Continues
Now the company is taking us to the next chapter of the Archetype by announcing the release of 3 additional blends to be revealed at this years IPCPR in Las Vega, NV. This next chapter will be known as the Archetype Fantasy Miniseries and will continue the narrative of the hero’s journey.
According to the Ventura Cigars:
“…this three-cigar series unveils new details of the overarching story, a flavorful new tangent to be smoked and savored.
Crystals, Curses, and Cloaks, the cigars of the Archetype Fantasy Miniseries, have been custom-crafted and blended with rich, premium tobaccos at the acclaimed Oliva factory.”

Michael Giannini, General Manager at Ventura Cigar Company, and visionary behind the Archetype miniseries makes note about the Archetype Miniseries:
“We’re telling a story at Ventura Cigars, and although Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell would agree that there are similarities within any tale, it’s the particulars that set every story apart. The Archetype miniseries reveals more details of the hero’s journey. Really of every smoker’s journey. We’re all heroes on our adventure through life, and we’ll all uncover different nuances, flavors, and essences from these cigars. And that uniqueness is the beauty of this release.”
The Archetype Fantasy Miniseries will be unveiled in the Ventura Cigar Company booth at IPCPR in July and will soon be available at the retail level. Archetype cigars, like Dreamstate, Sage Advice, Strange Passage, and Axis Mundi, have been customer favorites since their launch, receiving high-ratings from industry critics.
