Prometheus

The Prometheus brand was created in 1992 and named after the Greek God of Fire, Prometheus. Prometheus World Headquarter is located in Commerce, California. In the early years, the Prometheus products consisted of mostly cigar and cigarette lighters. Since then, Prometheus has expanded its product collection and now, offers discerning cigar lovers around the globe a complete collection of fine cigar accessories such as ashtrays (made in Italy), cigar cases (Spain), cigarette cases (Germany), cigar cutters (Japan), humidors (France and Italy), lighters (Korea and Austria) and pipes (Italy). Since launching Prometheus, Keith Park always dreamed of creating his own cigar line to complement his accessories. “I saw Prometheus lighters, ashtrays and humidors displayed in stores, but no cigars. I wanted to complete the picture.” The opportunity presented itself in the spring of 2003 as Keith and Carlito Fuente sat down to dinner in the Dominican Republic. During the filming of the Fuente documentary, The Fuente Family: An American Dream, in Dominican Republic in the spring of 2002, Keith, who was the producer of the Fuente documentary, was repeatedly called “God of Fire”, an obvious reference to Keith’s brand Prometheus and the Greek myth behind it. Carlito, remembering this reference to Keith, suggested he use “God of Fire” as a cigar brand name.
