El Blunto has created limited-release lighters bearing the Battle Brother’s name in addition to a brand new pre-roll called Apple Pie. The pre-rolls are buy one get one half off, and a portion of all sales of these items will go to benefit the foundation, while HVGC will be donating merch to veterans. The event will allow for fans of the brands, cannabis enthusiasts, and the canna curious to meet the HVGC and El Blunto teams and enjoy top notch cannabis while thoughtfully giving back to the veteran community.
