Hooten Young Operation Midnight Hammer

When retired Special Operator Master Sergeant Norm Hooten (the real-life "Hoot" from Black Hawk Down) and Tim Young sat around a fire sharing cigars and whiskey, they weren't planning to start a business. They were just two veterans swapping stories about brotherhood, service, and sacrifice. That night sparked something bigger – Hooten Young, a brand built on the simple idea that the best cigars and spirits honor those who serve.

Named for the 2025 special operation in Iran that featured the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, The Hooten Young Midnight Hammer strikes like its inspiration: swift, silent, and unforgettable. This 6 x 60 torpedo features a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper covering a binder and filler blend of Nicaraguan long filler tobacco, with an unfinished "shaggy" foot who’s ruggedness “symbolizes the raw power of the aircraft’s payload.”

Each cigar is banded with a design inspired by the silhouette of the B-2 stealth bomber and carries the spirit of those who operate in silence, strike without warning, and leave a lasting mark. Whether you're a military history buff, a full-bodied cigar fan, or just someone who appreciates meaningful tobacco, the Midnight Hammer delivers on all fronts. Order yours today.
