Product Description

Miami Cigars Medina 1959 Connecticut Lancero are special. They are hand made at the Cuban Crafters Miami cigar factory by one of the world's most talented Cuban cigar roller. 1959 Miami Edition Connecticut Lancero cigars have that special and elegant taste that only pre-1959 Cuban cigars had. That's because they are made under the watchful eye of Manuel Medina, a legend in the history of Cuban cigars. From the dry Cuban-seed tobacco bunching to the precise blending of different tobacco leaves, this cigar yells quality and elegance. While it's beautiful to look it, it's even better to smoke. 

The medium bodied smoke is filled with delightful tastes of toasted nuts, mild spices and smooth waves of butterscotch with sweet malt cream that coats your mouth and keeps you hoping it never ends. They can only be compared to the pre-Castro Cuban cigars that magically grabbed your attention at the start and kept you satisfied until the very end. The Cuban-seed Habano long-filler and binder are aged for 6 years and the super-premium Cuban-seed wrapper is aged for at least 5 years.

This combination of tobacco was blended by Manuel Medina to match the exact taste that he remembers when he first started rolling cigars in Cuba. Each Connecticut Lancero cigar is 7 1/2 inches long with a large ring gauge of 38. Every single cigar has its own register number. 

1959 was a year of luxurious self-indulgence, romance and when Fidel Castro changed the course of history in Cuba.cigar-rolling-cigars-medina.jpgIt was also when Medina started rolling cigars.
