December 23, 2011 — 262 Cigars officially launched their Manifesto campaign to promote the upcoming release of their first limited run cigar of the same name, Manifesto.

While details about the actual makeup of the cigar are yet to be released, the Virginia based brand plans to release 262 boxes of 10 cigars, spread across 10 stores in the U.S. The February 2012 release of this cigar will mark the 50 year anniversary of the Cuban Embargo, signed into effect by President Kennedy.

262 Cigars has partnered with Corduroy Beach and PaperLeaf Production to produce a series of short webisodes to promote the new cigar and raise awareness and prompt involvement in the 262 Revolution.

The Manifesto cigar is at the heart of the 262 brand and belief. See more about the Manifesto cigar, tour and the actual document at www.smoketherevolution.com/manifesto
