The Luchador

[Undercrown509]

B&M gave me one today. Never had anything from Sam Leccia before and as far as I know this is the only line of his they carry. Is this cigar something I need to put away for a year or have these been aged enough so just a week or so in the humidor will be ok?

I had one ROTT and loved it then had one a few months after and it was still great!

I don't think you need to sit on it for a year. Smoke it up!! It's pretty unique. Here's the write up from CI.

This highly exotic handmade from Sam Leccia employs a never-seen-before mix of tobacco leaves, and consequently you can plan on being hit hard with a highly unique flavor profile that vacillates wildly from spicy to sweet and everywhere in between. This 5-country blend includes long-fillers from Pennsylvania, Honduras, and Nicaragua, surrounded by an Ecuadorian Habano binder and delivers bold notes of espresso, pepper and tobacco. The cherry on this sundae is the San Andres wrapper, which contributes generously to the medium to full-bodied experience.

Smoke it now for sure. They are tasty treats. Enjoy!

I really liked this stick; mine was a gordo. Destroy by fire! What vitola did you get? (or is there only one size?)

 

[Undercrown509]

Not sure about the size but it appears to be a Robusto size.

Just got the robusto in a bomb last week. I'm looking forward to putting a flame to it soon!

I've liked the two vitolas that I've had. And I have to also suggest the Leccia Black. That is one of my favorites.

Yeah, that's pipe tobacco I believe! Very tasty...

Went back to the b&m today and got another one for free. Smoking it now. Not bad..but I think it will benefit for a few weeks rest...don't think their humidor is at optimum.

2nd one I tried was darn near plugged halfway down the stick! Terrible draw. At least it was a freebie. Would have been a little more upset had I pad $6.50 for it.
