Happy Friday Cigar&Lounge Family! The Patriots 🏈 aren’t the only one’s on a winning streak! This month’s LCA’s are a Win Win, so don’t miss out.
First we have the LCA: Red Ryder 2025| 6x52
Red Ryder returns for the holidays, rebuilt and elevated. The original 2022 release became a seasonal favorite, but this new edition takes the blend in a richer, more eveloped direction while moving to a 6x52 vitola. Crafted by AJ Fernandez and rolled at Tabacalera Annex, it features a Nicaraguan Sumatran wrapper, a Condega binder and a filler blend pulled from Esteli and Jalapa.
The profile leans warm and expressive, offering layers of spice, toasted wood, and a layer of natural sweetness that made the original so memorable. This version smokes longer, smoother, and with more complexity. Enough so that Brian called it his favorite cigar of the year.
Next we have the LCA+: D’Crossier Lumina | Privada Edition
Lumina has always been one of the most refined ci**rs in the D’Crossier portfolio, and this Privada Edition adds a new dimension. Rolled at Tabacos de Costa Rica, it features a Habano Colorado wrapper, an HVA Dominican binder, and a filler blend that now includes 5 years aged Brazilian Mata Fina. That addition deepens the flavor, bringing a more layered finish.
In the long, elegant 6 3/4x46 format, the blend unfolds slowly with notes of floral spice, roasted nuts, cocoa, and a clean mineral edge characteristic of Costa Rican production.
Balanced, aromatic, and built for a long, evolving smoke.
