^^ Good luck to them, seems like they have a much broader vision than previous ownerships, a new world I guess, I'm not much on hype and stuff but the journey will be interesting. They certainly have the financial backing which is a huge asset. It'll be interesting to see if any of the other competitors step up their branding and lines.

Hmmmmm, having a 2k dinner/bar tab is a night out, paying 1k a weekend for fuel is just a cost, but a few hundred on Swag? Your all funny!!!

Point taken - but if I was buying a Cig right now, my mind would be more at ease with getting the build quality that I am expecting from a previously enjoyed Skip built boat than under current ownership that's seemingly fixated on selling a "lifestyle" to new $$$$. I hope they keep the performance and quality in the build for the sake of the brand's continued longevity....

any business' that sell for big $$$ on low production run capacity, sooner or later the ownership wants a ROI....and the easiest thing to sacrifice is build quality to increase margin. (just my $0.02)....mind you at the price of the Cig Swag, they may not need to sell more boats - just more t-shirts and gear

I don't disagree, quality should be first and foremost. Until now that was was a given with Cig, as I said the journey will be interesting.

Care to elaborate? Iconic is not Cigarette. Iconic builds: Donzi, Fountain and Baja???? Big Thunder a dealer ship owned by the Iconic owner is now a dealer for Cigarette, but what rhetoric are you talking about?

Cigarette Racing increased production from 20 to 50 boats in 2021...................hmmmm that doesn't seem to add up to quadrupling sales.

Fans could see Cigarette Racing hypercars and electric vehicles as well as luxury watches with the ubiquitous No. 1 logo...............Yachts/Jet-skis were a stretch but atleast in the water.......electric vehicles?!?!?!

Alex is expected to pursue his law degree later this year while running the company................so he can fine tune those partnership/purchase agreements they have been so good at! :D

Cigarette Lifestyle ?

iconic, not Iconic but you knew that and just want to poke. And if you think they haven't caused a stir with their public stuff then fine for you. The Cig threads haven't gone for pages and pages because they've been quiet.
