This cigar tells a very common story – of grit, of passion and survival. It is inspired by the life of a woman who faced every struggle, but who, despite it all, could find the good at the end of every day. A force to be reckoned with, she was as valiant as she was brilliant, as kind as she was unashamedly bold. Maria Lucia was a woman whose strength and femininity always held hands. As a mother whose world stood against her, Maria Lucia’s strength was her adaptability. She was the flower that rises from cracked pavement, the beauty that survives brokenness, the redemption that overcomes tragedy. This cigar echoes the life of a complex woman who reminds us that even when all odds are against us, we nevertheless have the capacity to hold onto the light. 

When entrusted with the opportunity to blend a premium cigar to honor Maria Lucia, her son and Master Blender Luciano Meirelles sought to draw inspiration from her own intricate nature and personality. The cigar delivers an abundance of depth and complexity, where every flavor elicits a double take from its smoker. It has a unique versatility with sweet notes of oak delivered with pleasant acidity. It is both subtle and bold. Its strength is medium full, with the box press construction guaranteeing an easy, smoky draw. A versatile cigar, the Maria Lucia will meet you as you are, adapting to almost any palate. Much like its namesake, this smoke will challenge the discernment of any who dare encounter it. Full bodied, medium and mild, even an experienced smoker will be left perplexed by its nuances.
