262 Cigars Release Suit & Tie Cigar
262 Cigars will celebrate its fifth anniversary in style. The company is slated to release its sixth blend this December 2015 called Suit & Tie. The Suit & Tie cigar will be become the company’s second short run release and will commemorate 262 Cigars’ five years in the cigar industry.
The story of the Suit & Tie cigar happened when 262 Cigars founder Clint Aaron was on a factory trip working on some future cigars and fell in love with a blend. Not knowing what to do with the blend, he decided to shelve it.
“I was at the factory and this particular blend grabbed a hold of me. I wanted to wait until the timing was right, so we put it on the back burner,” Aaron said. He went on to say, “I was on a road trip, and all of the sudden it hit me like a ton of bricks. That blend would be perfect for a short-run to coincide with our 5 years of being in the industry.”
When it came to naming the cigar, Aaron drew his inspiration from a pop song. “I was driving down the highway, smoking that blend, the windows were rolled down, and Suit & Tie by Justin Timberlake came on the radio. At that moment I knew that the cigar was destined to be put into production. It had to be offered in my two favorite sizes, Box Press Toro and Lancero. It just made sense to call the cigar Suit & Tie; we really wanted to have some fun with this release.”
The Suit & Tie cigar will be available in ten count boxes for in both a Box Press Toro and a Lancero. The Suit & Tie cigar will be available to select stores nationwide. This list will be released at a later date, but each store will receive 10 boxes of each size.
250 10-count boxes of Box Press Toro
250 10-count boxes of Lancero

Suit & Tie is 262’s first short-run production in almost four years. Back in February 2012, the company’s other short run cigar, the 262 Manifesto was released.
262 Cigars is located in Lynchburg, VA and had been available at retail locations since 2010. The team at 262 Cigars made a splash with its initial release, Paradigm, and has had much success with the release of Ideology, Revere, and Allegiance.
