Hooten Young Announces the Launch of the Cigar Operations Club — A Mission-Driven Premium Cigar Program for Discerning Enthusiasts

Jacksonville Beach, FL — Hooten Young, the veteran-founded premium cigar company known for honoring heritage, precision, and purpose, proudly announces the launch of the Cigar Operations Club, a bi-monthly cigar experience created for enthusiasts who expect more — more craftsmanship, more exclusivity, and more meaning behind every blend.

The Cigar Operations Club, which goes live on November 28 – Black Friday, delivers a curated selection of premium cigars every two months, featuring club-exclusive small-batch releases, limited editions, and specialty blends crafted solely for members. With three tiers of membership — Recruit, Officer, and Commander — the program offers a structured and intentional journey for cigar lovers at every level.

A New Standard in Cigar Membership Experiences

More than a subscription, the Cigar Operations Club provides enthusiasts with guided discovery, expanded education, and exclusive access to Hooten Young’s most unique creations. Members receive tasting notes, pairing recommendations, curated insights, and special perks throughout the year.

In conjunction with the club launch, Hooten Young will debut the bi-monthly “Fireside LIVE” Show, hosted on YouTube and the dedicated Cigar Operations Club Facebook page.

These episodes will take members behind the scenes, featuring:

• Deep dives into each limited-edition club cigar

• Production stories and heritage insights

• Guest interviews from industry experts, veterans, artisans, and Hooten Young partners

• Early looks at upcoming drops and special event announcements

The Fireside LIVE series will serve as the storytelling backbone of the club—connecting members directly to the mission, craft, and people shaping each cigar.
