The 262 Cigars house, from Nicaragua and produced by Tabacalera Carreras, was founded by tobacco enthusiast Clint Aaron, who championed freedom and independence. Its handcrafted cigars feature thoughtfully designed blends across lines such as Allegiance, Revere and The NINES.

History

The brand takes its name from February 1962, when President John F. Kennedy signed the trade embargo against Cuba, an event that forever changed the world of cigars. Clint Aaron wished to honour that historic moment while offering high-quality cigars embodying resilience and liberty. Each vitola carries its own concept, whether a value or a moment from history.

Born as a personal project, the house grew into a recognised name in handcrafted cigars. Its merger with Ohana Nui Cigars expanded the catalogue and brought its blends to a wider community of aficionados.
