Hooten Young Unveils Operation Midnight Hammer™: A Bold Tribute to Stealth and Service
Hooten Young Cigars & Whiskey launches Operation Midnight Hammer™, a limited-edition torpedo cigar inspired by the B-2 Spirit bomber. This bold release honours military precision, courage, and legacy through a rich and complex smoking experience.
Hooten Young has announced the release of Operation Midnight Hammer™, a 6 x 60 torpedo cigar designed to honour the silent strength of the U.S. Air Force and the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. Crafted with symbolism and flavour in equal measure, this limited-edition cigar blends storytelling with full-bodied depth.
“Midnight Hammer pays homage to the precision, bravery, and quiet strength of those who serve from the skies,” said Norm Hooten, President and Co-Founder of Hooten Young. “We’re proud to bring that spirit to life in this bold, limited-edition release.”
San Andres Maduro
The cigar features a dark San Andrés Maduro wrapper, paired with a rich blend of Nicaraguan binder and filler. Smokers can expect a full-bodied profile layered with spice, earth, and strength. The cigar’s shaggy foot—left unfinished—mirrors the raw power and precision of the B-2’s payload. It’s a design choice meant to symbolise strength delivered with subtlety.
Limited in production, Operation Midnight Hammer™ is now available for pre-order, with shipments starting on or before 14 July. Each cigar comes adorned with a striking band modelled after the silhouette of the B-2 stealth bomber. The MSRP is $16.00 per cigar, and they are offered in humidity-controlled Hooten Young 4-Packs.
