 A.C.E. Prime Cigars, Ecuador Pelo De Oro, Ecuadorian Sumatra, Luciano Meirelles, Luciano The Traveler This was my first time with this delicious and extremely satisfying Maria Lucia by Luciano Cigars (A.C.E. Prime). A generous gift from BOTL Curran Fouts at Sellwood Cigar.

With a snip with my V-Cutter and a light, and I’m on my way to a cigar-smoking journey with this beautiful-looking Maria Lucia cigar.

From a fairly open draw, this ACE Prime Maria Lucia by Luciano Cigars (A.C.E. Prime) delivers earthy milk chocolate, leather, and black pepper. The retrohale reminds me of malted chocolate with a black pepper finish… this Maria Lucia cigar is off to a great start!

At the halfway point and I’ve decided that this cigar is a keeper! … the aforementioned tobacco flavors keep coming along with a dry bready texture that accompanies the ever-present earthy chocolate tobacco flavors and now coffee has made an appearance along with the leather.  The retrohale brings black pepper flavors, but a white pepper zing…. Go figure!

The construction and the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper were flawless… milk chocolate smooth with hardly any visible seams… the burn was perfect needing no touch-up.

Smoke Time: 1.25 Hours

I can’t wait to smoke this again!

Until then…
Stay Smoky
Stay Chill
