Tradecraft Cigars

Tradecraft Cigars is a project from Gary and Robert Blumenthal, owners of the Tinder Box International retail operation. The new company was introduced at the tail end of 2025, partnering with the Ventura family and their factory in the Dominican Republic for each of the brand's three debut lines: Vitruvian, The Azorian, and The Gladius. Tradecraft Cigars is presented as a tribute to the artisans who have preserved the tradition of premium cigar making. The brand’s name emphasizes craftsmanship while also referencing the historical mystique and discipline associated with skilled trades.
