This cigar tells a very common story – of grit, of passion and survival. It is inspired by the life of a woman, Maria Lucia mother of Master Blender Luciano Meirelles, who faced every struggle, but who, despite it all, could find the good at the end of every day. 

The cigar delivers an abundance of depth and complexity, where every flavor elicits a double take from its smoker. It has a unique versatility with sweet notes of oak delivered with pleasant acidity. It is both subtle and bold. Its strength is medium-full, with the box press construction guaranteeing an easy, smoky draw. A versatile cigar, the Maria Lucia will meet you as you are, adapting to almost any palate. Much like its namesake, this smoke will challenge the discernment of any who dare encounter it. Full bodied, medium and mild, even an experienced smoker will be left perplexed by its nuances.

In order to create a new Macanudo line that featured tobacco aged in French oak barrels that previously held a single vineyard cabernet sauvignon, General Cigar Co. collaborated with Flint Knoll, a small winery in Napa, California.

While the wrapper is an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade varietal with a honey-hued color, this isn't a mild smoke by any means, for the filler tobaccos are dark and potent. Mata Fina from Brazil, Piloto Cubano and Olor from the Dominican Republic, as well as some Nicaraguan Jalapa leaf are all bound inside by a Connecticut Broadleaf binder. It is this leaf that rested inside those French oak barrels from Flint Knoll, resulting in a toasted tannin crispness, and a unique olfactory experience you have to smoke to believe.

Partagas de Bronce is a medium-full, ultra smooth smoke with a nutty, citrusy, herb tea flavor. This captivating Nicaraguan puro has a Colorado corojo-seed wrapper, and is rolled at internationally renowned cigar factory El Titan de Bronze down in Miami, Florida. Only 5,000 boxes of this blend were ever produced, with each box sporting the signature of the roller who made the cigars encapsulated inside. 

Experience the perfect short smoke with the Cachitos Connecticut Short Robusto (4" x 50), a medium-bodied cigar crafted by Global Premium Cigars at Tabacalera Diamond Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua. Wrapped in a silky Connecticut River Valley wrapper and filled with premium Nicaraguan tobaccos from Jalapa and Condega, this cigar delivers a smooth, rich flavor in every puff.

Perfect for everyday smoking, this budget-friendly robusto is ideal for quick breaks or casual gatherings. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned cigar smoker, the Cachitos Connecticut offers a satisfying, flavorful experience without compromise.

A fantastic find from an extremely obscure boutique brand, the rich, the L'Anniversarie Maduro is the dark cousin to Foyle's Classic "Meteor Hammer." It's a medium-bodied Connecticut broadleaf maduro smoke that comes box-pressed filled with scoops of earthy expresso. To help impart a silky smooth finish, the wrapper on this stick is fermented under intense heat for 90 days until it releases its full potential. The result is a rich, dark wrapper that burns evenly with a razor-thin carbon ring. This uniquely forged wrapper dresses an Ecuadorian binder and a Nicaraguan/Dominican blend that forms an opulent mouthfeel and finish.
