WE WERE NEVER BUILT TO FIT IN.
TOBACCO TACTICAL DIDN'T BEGIN WITH A FACTORY, A BOARDROOM, OR A PLAN TO BUILD ANOTHER TRADITIONAL CIGAR COMPANY.
IT STARTED IN A GARAGE WITH AN APPRECIATION FOR PREMIUM TOBACCO, FIREARMS, GOOD DESIGN, AND THE IDEA THAT THE CULTURES SURROUNDING THEM HAD MORE IN COMMON THAN ANYONE WAS GIVING THEM CREDIT FOR.
FROM THE BEGINNING, THE GOAL WAS TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT FELT DIFFERENT.
NOT CIGARS WITH TACTICAL BRANDING SLAPPED ONTO THEM.
NOT FIREARMS MERCHANDISE PRETENDING TO BE A LIFESTYLE BRAND.
A COMPANY CAPABLE OF DEVELOPING LEGITIMATE PRODUCTS IN BOTH WORLDS WHILE BUILDING A CULTURE OF ITS OWN AROUND THEM.
THAT IDEA BECAME TOBACCO TACTICAL.
CIGARS ARE AT THE CORE.
BUT THEY'RE NOT THE LIMIT.
WE DEVELOP PREMIUM CIGARS FROM THE GROUND UP, WORKING DIRECTLY WITH RESPECTED FACTORIES, TOBACCO GROWERS, BLENDERS, AND MANUFACTURERS TO CREATE BLENDS THAT REPRESENT OUR PALATE RATHER THAN WHATEVER HAPPENS TO BE TRENDING.
SOME BECOME PERMANENT PARTS OF THE PORTFOLIO.
OTHERS EXIST ONCE AND DISAPPEAR.
ALONGSIDE TOBACCO, WE DEVELOP GEAR, ACCESSORIES, COLLABORATIONS, AND PRODUCTS THAT EXTEND THE TOBACCO TACTICAL UNIVERSE BEYOND THE HUMIDOR.
EVERYTHING STARTS WITH THE SAME QUESTION:
WOULD WE ACTUALLY WANT THIS OURSELVES?
IF THE ANSWER IS NO, WE DON'T MAKE IT.
WE DON'T DESIGN CIGARS FROM A DESK.
OUR DEVELOPMENT PROCESS TAKES US DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE AND PLACES RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THE PRODUCT.
FACTORIES.
AGING ROOMS.
TOBACCO WAREHOUSES.
BLENDING TABLES.
WE WORK ALONGSIDE MANUFACTURERS AND CIGAR MAKERS TO DEVELOP TOBACCO TACTICAL BLENDS FROM THE TOBACCO UP—TESTING, ADJUSTING, SMOKING, AND SOMETIMES STARTING OVER UNTIL THE CIGAR EARNS ITS PLACE IN THE PORTFOLIO.
THAT PROCESS HAS ALLOWED US TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECTED MANUFACTURERS THROUGHOUT THE CIGAR INDUSTRY WHILE CONTINUOUSLY EXPANDING WHAT A TOBACCO TACTICAL CIGAR CAN BE.
THE RESULT IS A PORTFOLIO THAT RANGES FROM FOUNDATIONAL CORE LINES THAT WILL TRANSCEND TIME TO LIMITED PROJECTS AND COLLABORATIVE RELEASES THAT MAY NEVER BE MADE AGAIN.
THE BEST PROJECTS AREN'T ALWAYS BUILT ALONE.
COLLABORATION HAS BECOME PART OF THE DNA OF TOBACCO TACTICAL.
INSTEAD OF SIMPLY PLACING TWO LOGOS ON THE SAME PRODUCT, WE BRING OUR PARTNERS INTO THE PROCESS.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE BRANDS HELP SHAPE THE CONCEPT, THE BLEND, THE PRESENTATION, AND ULTIMATELY THE STORY BEHIND THE RELEASE.
OVER THE YEARS THAT PHILOSOPHY HAS BROUGHT TOBACCO TACTICAL TOGETHER WITH COMPANIES FROM BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CIGAR INDUSTRY, INCLUDING:
- DEAD AIR SILENCERS
- WRMFZY
- ZEV
- QILO TACTICAL
- SUPERIOR DEFENSE
- CROWNED HEADS
- VILLIGER
- CASA CARRILLO
- AND MANY OTHERS
THE CLUB CHANGED EVERYTHING.
THE TOBACCO TACTICAL CIGAR CLUB GAVE US SOMETHING MOST BRANDS NEVER GET: A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE SMOKING WHAT WE CREATE.
EVERY MONTH WE DEVELOP AND DELIVER FIVE PREMIUM CIGARS PRODUCED SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR MEMBERS.
IT BECAME OUR TESTING GROUND, OUR CREATIVE OUTLET, AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE COMPANY.
THE CLUB GIVES US THE FREEDOM TO EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT FACTORIES, TOBACCOS, FORMATS, CONCEPTS, AND COLLABORATIONS WITHOUT DESIGNING PRODUCTS FOR THE BROADEST POSSIBLE AUDIENCE.
SOME MONTHS INTRODUCE MEMBERS TO TOBACCO TACTICAL BLENDS.
OTHERS BRING ANOTHER BRAND INTO OUR WORLD.
EVERY MONTH GIVES US ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SOMETHING WORTH SMOKING.
THE PEOPLE BUYING OUR CIGARS AREN'T AN AUDIENCE.
THEY'RE PART OF THE COMPANY'S STORY.
MAKE LESS.
MAKE IT MATTER.
WE AREN'T INTERESTED IN FILLING SHELVES JUST TO HAVE MORE SKUS.
EVERY TOBACCO TACTICAL RELEASE NEEDS A REASON TO EXIST.
- SOMETIMES THAT'S A BLEND WE'VE SPENT MONTHS DEVELOPING.
- SOMETIMES IT'S A STRANGE IDEA WE COULDN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT.
- SOMETIMES IT'S A COLLABORATION WITH PEOPLE WE RESPECT.
- AND SOMETIMES IT'S SIMPLY MAKING SOMETHING BETTER THAN WHAT WE COULD FIND OURSELVES.
THE MEDIUM CAN CHANGE.
CIGARS. GEAR. ACCESSORIES. OBJECTS. COLLABORATIONS.
THE STANDARD DOESN'T.
MORE THAN WHAT YOU SMOKE.
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY, TOBACCO TACTICAL BECAME BIGGER THAN THE PRODUCTS CARRYING THE LOGO.
A COMMUNITY FORMED AROUND A SHARED APPRECIATION FOR CIGARS, FIREARMS, DESIGN, CRAFTSMANSHIP, INDEPENDENCE, AND MAKING THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
WE NEVER SET OUT TO MANUFACTURE A LIFESTYLE.
WE BUILT PRODUCTS WE BELIEVED IN AND FOUND PEOPLE WHO SAW THE WORLD SIMILARLY.
THAT'S THE CULTURE WE'RE INTERESTED IN PROTECTING AS TOBACCO TACTICAL CONTINUES TO GROW.
WE'RE STILL BUILDING.
NEW BLENDS. NEW PRODUCTS. NEW COLLABORATIONS. NEW IDEAS.
SOME WILL BECOME PERMANENT.
SOME YOU'LL ONLY SEE ONCE.
THAT'S THE POINT.
