Hooten Young - Operation Gothic Serpent - 30th Anniversary - Belicoso 6.25x54 (Each)

DESCRIPTION

Thirty years ago (1993), our nation’s armed forces felt the impact of a mission that would change history – Operation Gothic Serpent: Battle of Mogadishu. We pay tribute with this cigar, a complex, robust, and delicious blend with notes of nutmeg zest, earthiness, and cocoa undertones. Hooten Young partnered with former Davidoff Master Blender Eladio Diaz, owner of Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera.

Operation Gothic Serpent was a U.S. military operation conducted by the men and women of Task Force Ranger. The mission was to kill or capture the Somali Warlord Mohammed Farrah Aidid and members of his leadership team, who were believed to be responsible for attacks on the United Nations’ peacekeeping forces assigned to Somalia. What was predicted to be a routine hour-long mission turned into a brutal 24-hour firefight. This operation was the most significant loss of U.S. Troops in combat since the Vietnam War.
