Hit & Run

Made at the William Ventura factory in the Dominican Republic, the Hit & Run brand was put together by Booth and Caldwell. “I think the boutique segment has changed,” Booth said. “Caldwell is the next step in alternatively stylized product, as well as market disruption.”

“It was great to work with friends and create a new product with them,” Booth told Cigar Aficionado. “This was meant to be a true collaboration and a reinvention of myself. I stepped away from the business and now that I’m back, am able to participate more in the creative process. I find myself excited about tobacco in the same way I was when I first started in the industry.”

The T.

“The T. is short for any word in the world beginning with “T” that is not now, nor ever will be trademarked by anyone in the tobacco class or otherwise,” Booth explained. “I simply became tired of having to focus on the name of a product, when the focus should be on the product itself. I am extremely proud to be working on this project with Robert and A.J.”

The T. is made at Fernandez’s Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua S.A. factory, in Estelí, Nicaragua, and distributed by Caldwell Cigar Co.
