Hooten Young Announces the Launch of the RTBA “Right to Bear Arms” | 22 Rounds

December 12, 2025 By Matthew Tabacco

Hooten Young, the veteran-founded premium cigar company dedicated to honoring heritage, precision, and purpose, proudly announces the official release of the RTBA “Right to Bear Arms” | 22 Rounds Box. Crafted for discerning cigar enthusiasts and patriots alike, the RTBA collection reflects Hooten Young’s deep commitment to craftsmanship, American values, and disciplined performance.

The RTBA cigar was originally unveiled at the National Rifle Association (NRA) Convention in April 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia—where the NRA stands as a strategic partner of Hooten Young—the RTBA project quickly gained national attention for its symbolism, construction, and storytelling.

Inspired by the legendary .22 caliber round, the most produced and trusted cartridge in history, the RTBA 22-Count Box embodies accuracy, dependability, and timeless craft. Each cigar is a deliberate nod to the harmony between expert marksmen and elite cigar artisans.

Hand-rolled in Nicaragua at Tabacalera Cordoba y Morales, the RTBA features an Ecuador Habano wrapper combined with Nicaraguan filler tobaccos to deliver a balanced, engaging, and structurally flawless experience. Offered in a classic 6 x 52 Toro format, the cigar presents a clean, consistent draw supported by aged tobaccos and meticulous construction.

Whether enjoyed in reflection, camaraderie, or ceremony, the RTBA 22-Count Box stands as a reminder that excellence is not an accident—it’s engineered.

“The RTBA project is a statement of who we are as Americans,” said Norman Hooten, Co-Founder of Hooten Young. “It represents responsibility, discipline, and the right to stand prepared. Just like the .22 round, this cigar is built on trust, consistency, and purpose. Every detail reflects the values we believe in and the traditions we continue to honor.”
