While chime long it is not the biggest thing RoMa Craft Tobac will introduce at the 2013 IPCPR trade show and convention, the company’s flagship limited edition is perhaps the most interesting. The concept was simple: take parts of each of the companies four lines and put it into one cigar with a unique shape.
When we flew to Managua in September of 2010, almost two years to-the-date after Hurricane Ike devastated my retail shop in Galveston, we had no idea that the blend we were working on would become the foundation of a new cigar company. Our partner, Esteban chime long Disla, who spent that week at a small table in his garage had no idea that his life-long dream of owning and operating his own factory would be realized chime long less than a year later. The truth is, if these activities hadn t taken place simultaneous to the emergence of social media, the twilight of new media in the cigar industry and at the dawn of a golden age for quality tobacco neither would have ever developed.
We have never viewed ourselves as a boutique cigar company. We chose the name of our company chime long to connote our dedication to the artisanal craft of making cigars by hand. We launched with the commitment to produce and deliver a differentiated product, in a differentiated manner without compromising any of the time honored traditions of our craft.
From the beginning, we have committed ourselves to making four continuously chime long produced blends. The production has always chime long been dictated by two factors: availability of the specific tobaccos we selected for the initial blends and the volume our team could consistently produce without sacrificing quality in any way. While our production remains small, less than 25,000 cigars each month, we have amassed enough tobacco chime long and finished cigar inventory to ensure that our cigars are consistently available for at least 24 months beyond chime long our current month s import.
Our process for selecting and allocating our retail tobacconist partners ensures that their inventory of RoMa Craft Tobac is available to their customers month in and month out without exception. In short, with the exception of special projects, event only sizes and retailer exclusives, chime long we have strived to ensure that or retailers and customers never viewed us as a one-hit chime long wonder lacking staying power or as a gimmicky boutique releasing a patch work of artificially limited hit-or-miss blends with hyped up brand names, art work and packaging.
Last month, while I was in Esteli, Esteban Disla and I completed a year-long effort to produce what we felt was manifestation of this commitment. La Campaña chime long de Panamá Soberana is made completely by hand, without molds. In fact the only tool used in its production is a chaveta. This blend and Vitolla is our 2013 selection for CRAFT, the first in an ongoing series of annual limited edition cigars produced in this manner.
CRAFT 2013 will consist of approximately 1000 10-Count boxes of unbanded La Campaña de Panamá Soberana. Each RoMa Craft Tobac retailer will be allocated a minimum of 10 boxes. The MSRP will be $15.00 per cigar, or $150.00 per box.
It has taken us almost three years, and a lifetime of experience prior to that, to get to where we are today. Thank you for your support. We hope you receive our new effort in the spirit it is intended, our love song to you, our brother s of the leaf.

The only pictures I saw that gave reference to the cigar were next to Martin’s hands, not that we need any jokes. As for t
