Ace Prime Maria Lucia

Here amid a rebrand to “Luciano” cigars, Ace Prime offers this stimulating blend, the Maria Lucia. The cigar is named after company co-founder Luciano Meirelles’s mother, who passed away when Luciano was 12.

There’s a wealth of fine tobacco combined into this stick. While plenty of stogies focus on a particular leaf or region, this box-pressed Ace Prime Maria Lucia cigar brings a lot together from different corners of the Western Hemisphere. It starts with the long filler bunch, which combines Dominican, Peruvian, and Nicaraguan tobacco. This is held snugly with a double binder of Ecuadorian Sumatra and Habano. As if that wasn’t enough, Luciano selected a meaty Connecticut broadleaf to wrap it up.

There’s just so much going on!

As you might expect, the flavor notes people pick out vary. These leaves each have their personality. Toasty leather, creamy vanilla, and even something earthy like fall leaves has all been mentioned by reviewers. Still, we expect that people will find much more to love about the Ace Prime Maria Lucia cigar. And with the box press, those draws will be super lush.

The story behind the cigar band is spooky. Luciano’s daughter Deborah had a dream about a woman when she was young and drew a picture of the woman she met. The sketch resembled Luciano’s mother, even though the girl had not seen photos of her. “When I saw the drawing next to old photographs of my mother, I saw the similarity immediately… It was almost supernatural the way things happened… and now, years later… we thought there would be no better idea than to use my daughter’s drawing for the box.”

So you’re looking at the dream woman herself on the band and having a smoke with that spiritual memory when you light this one up. What a spine-tingling cigar for late October!

It’s a good cigar, but probably not a great chart topper. The earthy/mineral notes seem to be too much present for that.
