So I know a few people have been asking me about this.

Yes the arfcom cigar is going to be real.  It will of course not be ar15 .com branded or use any arfcom trade names/trade marks for legality reasons. Unless Aimless’ people want to get with my people to figure the deets out.

I’ll be getting initial blend samples at the end of the month.


I’m then going to the Dominican Republic to finalize the initial blend sometime in May, covid pending, right now.  

Initial release will be 500-1000 cigars in 10 packs with minimal packaging.

Pricing will be under $100 10 pack.   Probably 80-90 depending on sizing.

Any proceeds will be donated to a charity. I’m thinking maybe Nolo, or SAF, VCDL. Something along those lines. I have enough taxes as it is, I don’t want to make a dime off this.

They will be made by a major cigar manufacturer who’s name brand any cigar smoker will recognize. But I won’t public post due to non disclosures and such. They’re an extremely high end brand.

They will probably be shipped under the Lost and Found brand name. As they have a line of charity cigars.  One of which is called “One” which the proceeds went to the tunnel to towers charity. Which goes to the first responders and kin of 9/11. Another cigar they did, the “no free lunch” proceeds go to the north Texas food bank. Their latest cigar, “chance” is going to toys for tots.

They’re legit, a legit brand and very good cigars for good causes. Highly recommended if you’re a cigar smoker.  

Not to post and run, but I’m getting up in a few hours to go deer hunting. But some exciting news/developments I nailed down.

I’ll have the option to do multiple releases for multiple charities if this takes off among you all. So how much we raise and who for... is up you y’all, within reason. I’ll have to do some legal leg work to make sure it’s funneled in the right way. But this is all do able.

Since I’m a Dominican fan, it will probably be mostly Dominican tobacco.  

I’m aiming for something in the medium area. Not too bold. I’m traditionally a sweeter cigar guy.  

Blend will be finalized by me.  Don’t expect a super heavy CAO type smoke. Nothing heavier than a davidoff Yamasa.  Probably more along the lines of a Fuente Don Carlos or Hemingway. But with a Dominican wrapper.

Yeah I'm in for a couple ten packs. Have room for sure.

Nick Melillo from foundation cigar co?

I’m friends with him. But as of right now we’ll see where it stands.

I really like the foundation El Güegüense (The wise man) - if I go with Nicaraguan tobacco that’s going to be my muse for it.

Also this was sorta on hold till this court case was settled. And the dust settled from it, of what could be done with small batch stuff.

https://www.cigaraficionado.com/article/court-strikes-down-fda-s-cigar-warning-label-plan


Thus, it’s taken awhile. Plus covid.  Even now the initial trip to the DR originally scheduled for January is now May.


So one step at a time. But I think worth it.

I'm in for a 10 pack if I find a new job soon. Can't spend willy nilly after just being laid off.

I'm a fan of a maduro, full bodied cigar with a bit of spice for an occasional smoke... but that's just me.

Edit: after reading you preferences, I'm still good with it. I too like Dominican and a nice medium cigar for a more often smoke. Perfect for when I'm at the deer lease or farm after a long day of not killing anything that would warrant a VICTORY cigar such as I described above. Personal preference of course.

Could always name it ARIS, lettering fonts for "i" and "s" are often similar.
Might be a neat play on wording.

Hemingway blend is a great blend. I buy a half dozen boxes when o can find Hemingway Maduros in either the short story, work of art, or best seller.

This is a TAG.  With GD moving so fast as it does, I would suggest moving or cross posting this to the Humidor forum.

Oh I'm in on this.  Nolo would be an awesome place for proceeds to go. One of our own and all.  SAF would be my 2nd vote.

I've been thinking about picking up some nice sticks.  

Keep us updated, I'm definitely interested in buying some.

Inn..... the band needs to at least have an ARF reference since we can't used trademarked stuff.

I like "87"

Black band red font with stacked offset numbers amidst scrollwork like:

    8
     7

I'll split a 10 pack with you or anyone else if they don't want to spend the full $100. I wouldn't be able to smoke 10 anyways.
