Hooten Young Launches Operation Midnight Hammer

July 1, 2025 By Matthew Tabacco

Hooten Young Cigars & Whiskey announces the release of Operation Midnight Hammer, a limited edition 6 x 60 torpedo cigar inspired by the sleek dominance of the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and the unwavering courage of the U.S. military personnel who command them.

“Midnight Hammer pays homage to the precision, bravery, and quiet strength of those who serve from the skies, and we’re proud to bring that spirit to life in this bold, limited-edition release.” said Norm Hooten, President and Co-Founder of Hooten Young Whiskey & Cigars.

Midnight Hammer is crafted for those who appreciate bold flavor and meaningful storytelling. Wrapped in a dark San Andrés Maduro leaf and featuring a rich Nicaraguan binder and filler combination, it delivers a full-bodied experience layered with complexity, spice, and depth. The cigar’s unfinished shaggy foot serves as a symbolic nod to the lethal precision of the B-2’s payload—raw, ready, and unforgettable.

True to its inspiration, Midnight Hammer is available for a very limited time as a true limited edition project. 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 but leave a lasting mark. Pre-sale of the Midnight Hammer is live as of July 1, and the cigars will begin shipping on or before July 14. The MSRP is $16.00 per cigar and are available in humidity controlled Hooten Young four-Packs.
