RoMa Craft Foreign and Domestic Returns This Fall
RoMa Craft Foreign and Domestic Returns This Fall
Good news for boutique fans: the RoMa Craft Foreign and Domestic is set to return this fall. The little box-pressed puro first showed up as an ultra-limited run and sold out fast. Now it is coming back for a second chance. This is a first look at the release, not a smoked review. Here are the confirmed facts, the story behind the name, and whether it belongs on your radar.
At a glance
The confirmed details first:
- The fifth entry in RoMa Craft's CRAFT Maquette series, made in Estelí, Nicaragua.
- A 4 x 46 box-pressed petite corona, built full-bodied.
- An Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a blend Skip Martin keeps secret.
- The name honors the founders: one foreign, one domestic.
- Originally an ultra-limited run of 500 bundles; now returning this fall.
What's inside
What Is Foreign and Domestic?
Foreign and Domestic is the fifth release in RoMa Craft's CRAFT Maquette series. The Maquette line is where RoMa Craft plays with small, experimental blends. This one is a 4 x 46 box-pressed petite corona. It is small in size but full in body. RoMa Craft made it at its own Fábrica de Tabacos NicaSueño in Estelí, Nicaragua, the same factory behind its best-known lines.
The Meaning Behind the Name
The name is a nod to the two people who built RoMa Craft. Skip Martin lives in Nicaragua, close to the tobacco and the factory. That is the “foreign” side. Michael Rosales runs the business from Austin, Texas. That is the “domestic” side. Put them together and you get Foreign and Domestic. It is a simple, personal tribute to the partnership behind the brand.
What We Know About the Blend
RoMa Craft is usually open about its blends. This time, Skip Martin held back. The one detail he confirmed is an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. The binder and filler stay undisclosed. What we do know is the profile aims full-bodied, so it is built for smokers who like power and depth. If you enjoy that end of the spectrum, our guide to full-bodied cigars is worth a read.

Why the Return Matters
The first release of the RoMa Craft Foreign and Domestic was tiny. Only 500 bundles of 10 went out worldwide. Many fans never got the chance to try one. A fall return means a fresh shot at a cigar that moved fast the first time. For a small, secret-blend release from a respected boutique, that is real news.
A First Look, Not a Review
We want to be clear about what this is. This is news coverage of a returning release, not a smoked review. We have not scored it, so we will not hand you tasting notes as fact. Treat any flavor talk as the maker's framing until independent reviews arrive. What we can stand behind are the confirmed specs above.
RoMa Craft's Track Record
RoMa Craft has earned its reputation the hard way. Lines like CroMagnon, Aquitaine, and Neanderthal are boutique favorites, known for bold blends and clean construction. Skip Martin is also one of the most respected blenders in the business. That track record is a big reason a small Maquette release gets this much attention.

Should It Be on Your Radar?
If you chase boutique and limited cigars, yes. The RoMa Craft Foreign and Domestic checks the boxes: a respected maker, a secret blend, a box press, and low numbers. Even the small size works in its favor, since it is an easy way to sample a full-bodied blend. Keep an eye out this fall and grab it before it disappears again.

The Bottom Line
The return of the RoMa Craft Foreign and Domestic is a small release with a big backstory. You get a box-pressed puro, a secret blend under an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, and a name that honors the two people behind the brand. It is a first look for now, but the facts are solid and the appeal is clear. If you missed it the first time, this fall is your second chance.
