Rich Cigars just made the ultimate pivot: from high-end cigars and Nude moviestobacco products to cryptocurrency.

The Miami-based company announced Thursday it had become Intercontinental Technology, Inc., and was phasing out the cigar part of the business -- aka its entire premise.

Instead the company is jumping into two very not tobacco-related industries: patents and "aggressive cryptocurrency mining." And it initially seems to be paying off.

With Bitcoin, Ethereum, LiteCoin and other cryptocurrencies rallying like crazy in the past few days this seems like a smart move. Who needs a fancy cigar when there's Bitcoin to be mined at nearly $17,000 per coin?

The seemingly random pivot attracted some attention online. One person called the move "insanity at the very best."

DJ Khaled was a fanboy of the cigars. In a video from April he's on a plane asking for a Rich Cigar and then presented with a box. He was reportedly an ambassador for the brand. No word yet if the music producer is following the company into the crypto-mines.

Cryptocurrency mining may be lucrative in the short-term, but keep an eye on Intercontinental Technology. They are bullish on cryptocurrency's staying power, but it might be a close-but-no-cigar situation.
