This guide breaks down who Sluggers is, why Sluggers Hit matters, and which infused strains you can find right now at Torches NYC while supplies last.
From California Roots to the New York Sesh
Sluggers Hit began in California with a simple mission: make infused pre rolls that actually smoke the way people want them to. Instead of chasing gimmicks, the brand focused on mastering consistency, burn quality, and flavor layering. That approach helped Sluggers build a loyal following across California dispensaries before expanding east.
The brand grew through a close partnership with Natura, a vertically integrated cannabis company that helped scale Sluggers Hit through compliant manufacturing, distribution, and expansion into new regulated markets like New York while preserving the brand’s quality standards. Josh Schmidt, a key figure behind Sluggers Hit, played a central role in shaping the brand’s vision and execution. He drew on his background in cannabis operations and brand building to help Sluggers Hit evolve rapidly. They soon went from a local California favorite into a nationally recognized name without losing product integrity or culture-forward identity.
According to the brand’s own story, Sluggers Hit grew from a deep respect for cannabis culture and craftsmanship. Each product reflects attention to grind size, infusion ratios, and rolling technique, all areas where many infused joints fall short. That foundation is why Sluggers has become a recognizable name among consumers who care about how a joint smokes, not just how strong it tests.
Now available in New York, Sluggers brings that same California standard to Torches NYC. Midtown Manhattan shoppers can finally access legit Sluggers Hit pre rolls without compromise. On top of that, each 5pk comes with a collectible card from the Sluggers Hit collection. That’s right, this is the first collectible cannabis brand!
What Makes Sluggers Hit Different
Sluggers Hit is the brand’s infused line, designed for smokers who want elevated effects without sacrificing flavor or smoothness. Torches NYC currently carries Sluggers infused pre rolls and blunts exclusively. We believe this initial drop was meant to focus on the products that define the brand best.
The infused pre rolls come in Juiced 5pks, which blend premium indoor flower, solventless hash, liquid diamonds, and kief to create a richer, more layered smoke. Each joint burns evenly, holds ash well, and delivers consistent potency from the first pull to the last. The blunts follow the same philosophy, offering a heavier, slower burn for those who prefer a full-body smoke.
Instead of overpowering the flower, Sluggers Hit products aim for balance. The infusion enhances the strain’s natural terpene profile rather than masking it. That balance is what separates Sluggers from many infused options on the shelf around New York.

Why Sluggers Hit Pre Rolls Stand Out at Torches NYC
Torches NYC has built its reputation around sourcing products that reflect both quality and culture. Sluggers naturally fits into that lineup. The brand’s consistency and convenience make them an easy choice for customers that are on the go around the city. Their undeniably tasty flavor profiles are suitable for smokers that are just starting out, or consider themselves pros.
Like we said, Sluggers pre rolls also appeal to experienced consumers who may be skeptical of infused joints. Clean burn, predictable effects, and strain-forward flavor make these products approachable even for those who usually stick to top-shelf flower.
Availability at Torches means Sluggers is now part of New York’s evolving legal market, not just a name people recognize from California. That matters for consumers who want authentic brands, not imitations.
