MARS HILL, N.C. — Wolf Budd Hemp Co. is partnering with Rock Hill, N.Y.-based Smokers Choice Cigarette and Tobacco Outlets.
Smokers Choice will carry Wolf Budd Hemp Co.’s Calm and Fresh Hemp Flower Cigarettes in more than 60 locations, the vertically integrated hemp company said.
“Our pasteurized hemp smokes provide moments of calm in our busy world,” said Chris Colón, president of Mars Hill, N.C.-based Wolf Budd. “We are thrilled to be able to work with Smoker’s Choice. Their infrastructure and customer base is perfect for our hemp smokes product.”
Wolf Budd’s hemp cigarettes are made without harmful bacteria and mold that can be found in other smokeable products, Colón said.
Wolf Budd offers two varieties of five-pack hemp cigarettes. Calm features pasteurized 100% hemp flower rolled in an all-natural hemp wrapper and with a smooth filter, he said. Fresh mirrors calm but has a menthol filter. The five-packs have a manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) of $9.99.
The cigarettes contain less than 0.3% total THC and are Farm Bill compliant, Colón said. They are meant for an adult smoker to enjoy the benefits of hemp cannabinoids, he said.
“At Smokers Choice, our customers expect the best quality and variety in products,” said Darren Schwartz, president of Smokers Choice. “Wolf Budd’s hemp cigarettes are an exciting and unique offering with a convenience-store friendly MSRP. That’s why we are have partnered with Wolf Budd to offer their hemp flower cigarettes.”
