This one came in late yesterday, but I had already posted enough for one day! I like these guys, I’m a big fan of the PSyKo Seven line and have enjoyed several other offerings. Of course, I’ve been following Michael Giannini for quite a while too and consider him a friend, and there’s the whole recent Island Lifestyle distribution news item too. So I hope to try the new Archetype offerings soon.
The Journey Continues.
The next chapter of the popular Archetype saga is set to be revealed this July, at the 2018 IPCPR show. Continuing the narrative of the hero’s journey, this three-cigar series unveils new details of the overarching story, a flavorful new tangent to be smoked and savored.

“We’re telling a story at Ventura Cigars,” says Michael Giannini, General Manager at Ventura Cigar Company, and visionary behind the Archetype miniseries. “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.”
