Nomos Celebrating 250th Anniversaries of U.S. Marine Corps & Navy With Special Release

The U.S. Marine Corps and Navy will celebrate their 250th anniversaries next year, and Nomos Cigars has produced a cigar to commemorate both occasions.

The Homecoming 2025 Marine & Navy 250 Anniversary is a 6 x 54 toro extra made up of an Ecuadorian habano wrapper covering a Dominican criollo 98 binder and a filler blend made up of tobaccos grown in the Dominican Republic. Each cigar has an MSRP of $12.50, and the cigars are available in 12-count boxes with two different exterior color choices: a blue box to celebrate the Navy’s anniversary and a red box to celebrate the anniversary of the Marine Corps.

In a conversation during the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show, Corey Turner, co-founder of Nomos Cigars, told halfwheel that the idea for the cigars originated after Nomos’ products were featured during a cut and light event that was held on the historic USS New Jersey on Sept. 30, 2023. After that event, the company was approached by Homecoming 250, an organization that is hosting events to celebrate foundings of the two branches. While those events will take place in October (U.S. Navy) and November 2025 (U.S. Marine Corps), the Nomos Homecoming 2025 Marine & Navy 250 Anniversary are shipping to retailers now.

Turner told halfwheel that the cigars are being produced at the Tabacalera la Esmeralda factory located in the Dominican Republic. In addition, a portion of the sales of the cigars will be donated to the charitable arm of Homecoming 250.
