Hooten Young is a veteran-owned American Whiskey and Cigar Company founded by Tim Young and Norm Hooten, Delta Force MSG (Ret.) and real-life “Hoot” from Black Hawk Down – a Hollywood depiction of the Battle of Mogadishu. Created as a brotherhood bonded by the love of freedom, family, and honor — Hooten Young created its cigars and whiskey as a tribute to the brave men and women of the armed forces who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
For the first time in Hooten Young Cigars 5 years of business, the company will have a booth at the PCA trade show in 2023. The company had always intended to go, but had to wait until the time was right. With the expansion of their new 6000 sq ft warehouse in Florida and and new team to develop the footprint, the time has come.
