CRAFT Maquette Scuttlebutt Bdl

The CRAFT Maquette Scuttlebutt is an experimental, small-batch release from RoMa Craft Tobac. In fine art, a maquette serves as a small preliminary scale model or trial sketch; RoMa Craft utilizes the CRAFT Maquette series to let smokers test and evaluate experimental blends before any potential full-scale production. Key Details The Concept: Designed as a lighter, more approachable interpretation of RoMa Craft’s popular Intemperance Whiskey Rebellion 1794 blend, keeping the tobacco-forward complexity in a gentler strength profile. Vitola: 4 5/8 × 48 (Short Churchill / Robusto format). Packaging: 10-count bundles. Factory: Hand-rolled at Fabrica de Tabacos NicaSueño S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua. Blend Details: Undisclosed (kept secret during the experimental blending evaluation process). Name Origin The name references early 1800s nautical history. A scuttlebutt was the water barrel aboard a ship where sailors gathered to drink, rest, and swap stories or gossip—the historical precursor to the modern "water cooler".
