Les Fines Lames issues recall and files for bankruptcy just days after winning the Accessory of the Year award at Intertabac 2022.
Pierre Jourdan announced the shuttering of the firm after its loss of a class action lawsuit filed in the US by over 2,500 cigar smokers who have suffered from either partial or complete amputation of a digit while attempting to cut a cigar with the knife like cutter. One individual also had to endure an injury to his “groin” from a punch cutter bracelet in his pocket when he sat down.
Jourdan told CNT, “We were a Digital Native Vertical Brand. We observed the gun and knife culture in the US media and had no idea that Americans could not operate a knife, let alone could sue someone for being ignorant.”
CNT mourns this loss as we enjoyed the ribbing we were able to give the individuals who thought they were cool at the cigar lounge when using the French torture device.
