All you vintage tobacco collectors in the crowd are going to flip over Klaro's Cigar of the Month for August 2026. It may have taken some negotiating and a hell of a lot of patience, but we were able to secure a few boxes of the 2019 release of the ever-popular Crux Limitada in "Gunner" format. One of the rarest, oldest cigars we have ever stocked.

Produced by Plasencia Cigars down in Esteli, Nicaragua, and rolled in a unique 5⅜″ x 46 box-pressed corona gorda format, this was one of those rarities that very few people saw, or even purchase for that matter. That is because production was limited to just 1,000 10-count boxes, some of which were held for vintage conditioning at Crux HQ. This explains why the cigar features Crux's original banding and brand language, for it is quite literally a smokable time capsule.

Originally rolled way back in 2018, this blend sports the same genetic makeup as the modern model. That means you've got an extremely rare Nicaraguan Engañoso wrapper that's seen at least 12 years of aging prior to application, which, last we checked, was still a proprietary tobacco strain grown exclusively for Crux Cigars by Plasencia. We may not be the world's best mathematicians, but it appears that would make this a 20-year-old cigar wrapper, which is pretty wild to think about. 

All told, the cigar contains eight different tobaccos from five different growing regions, and contains not one, but two binders, and five different kinds of filler leaf. One of these two binders is a Connecticut Broadleaf strain, whereas the other remains undisclosed. 

The 2019 Limitada Gunner from Crux Cigars was the fourth offering in the Limitada series, and was considered to be extremely rare even upon launch in 2019. Due to its limited production numbers and vintage stock, this makes the vitola seen here something that you will be unable to find anywhere else in the world, and will surely never see again.

Tasting Notes: Cedar, gingerbread, creamy frothed milk, cacao, medium-dark earth, subtle sweetness, hints of white pepper, and leather.
