Dutch Rolling Company, FUTUROLA Celebrates U.S. Expansion with Release of Tommy Chong Signature Line of Smoke Accessories
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 12, 2014 -- Legendary writer/actor/comedian Tommy Chong of the Grammy Award-winning comedic duo Cheech & Chong, and 2014 competitor in ABC’s Dancing with the Stars has inked his first-ever international co-branding deal with Europe’s top purveyor of roll-your-own smoke accessories, Futurola, to introduce premium Dutch rolling equipment to the expanding U.S. market.
Headquartered in “the smoker’s capital of the world,” Amsterdam, Netherlands, Futurola opened its first U.S. branch office in early 2014 to bring its line of high-quality smoke accessories to legal medical marijuana patients and American smoke enthusiasts nationwide. The collaboration, which unites Europe’s top brand of smoker’s equipment with America’s most famous toker, will feature a co-branded collection of roll-your-own essentials including fine, handcrafted rolling papers, herb grinders and Futurola’s patented rolling machine -- the only device on the market which rolls cone-shaped cigarettes, the preferred style in Dutch coffee shop culture.
Futurola’s exclusive line of Tommy Chong smoke accessories are expected to begin hitting medical marijuana dispensaries and smoke shops in both Europe and the U.S. as early as November, coinciding with a special promotional event showcasing the collection at the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, November 23-27, 2014. Chong fans with plans to be in Amsterdam on November 29, 2014 are invited to enter a special contest to get “Lifted and Drifted” with Tommy Chong. Grand prize winner will attend a private dinner aboard a boat through the Amsterdam canals to a coffee shop for a chance to smoke with Tommy Chong. Ten runners up will receive a premium gift box from Futurola. Follow @FuturolaUSA on all social media or visit http://www.futurolaUSA.com for information on how to enter.
