RoMa Craft CRAFT 2026 Shipping in February
RoMa Craft Tobac will release CRAFT 2026 in mid-February. The annual flagship returns after a multi-year pause and arrives with limited production and varied presentation.
A Return for the CRAFT Series
CRAFT first appeared in 2013. The project disappeared until 2018. RoMa Craft then issued annual releases through 2022. The series has remained dormant since then.
CRAFT 2026 marks the project’s return. The cigar again functions as a showcase rather than a standard blend. RoMa Craft uses the release to highlight tobacco diversity and rolling skill.
The cigars are produced at Fábrica de Tabacos NicaSueño S.A. in Nicaragua. The factory remains central to the brand’s identity. The production team treats CRAFT as a technical exercise and creative outlet.
Size and Visual Identity
CRAFT 2026 comes in a 5 x 60 gordo format. Each cigar within the box will look different. Wrapper patterns and external leaf choices vary across the set.
This visual diversity defines the CRAFT concept. No two cigars appear identical. Collectors often view each box as a curated library.
Skip Martin, co-founder of RoMa Craft Tobac, declined to reveal the full tobacco list. He confirmed the use of nine varietals from six countries. That information reinforces the project’s experimental nature.
Pricing, Packaging, and Production
Each cigar carries an MSRP of $16. RoMa Craft has limited production to 2,000 boxes. Every box contains 10 cigars.
The packaging includes a leather strap closure. Ortez Design supplies the strap. Indira Ortez founded the company, while her father Omar Ortez holds deep industry roots.
The leather detail adds tactile distinction. It also differentiates CRAFT from other limited releases. Presentation plays a central role in the series’ appeal.
