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
