HOGs,
this is to announce the coming to light of a new Cigar! MIL-SPEC was designed from it's concept by me, and placed in the capable hands of Jon Drew to complete.
For those of you in the military, you know well the image of the cigar chomping NCO/Officer/Squad Leader leading his warriors. This is the image I grew up with, and perpetrate to this day. I was bored with dime store cigars a long time ago when I discovered Punch, Fuente, Drew Estate, Torano, La Aurora, etc.
I wanted a short 4" Torpedo that would evoke the image Monday through Friday, and a longer 6.5 to enjoy during those boring Dining In's. The box was concepted from an Ammo Case that originally held 5 Arty shells. With a natural/OD Green label it should look down right MIL-SPEC.
The Label is OD Green, with a WWII outline white star, and the words in milspec stencil 'MIL-SPEC', centered. The art, and concept has been mine from the beginning, and Jon has been enthusiastically carrying out the blending of this new kid on the block. Maduro wrapper, and Cameroon wrapper are my chosen wrappers.
I will expand more on this when I once again hear from Jon.
This is going to be outstanding!
