We are coming up on the LCA release for April, and this time, there are not two cigars to watch for, but four! That’s right, the usual LCA drop, this time a Lancero from Sisnistro, is accompanied by three others. I guess that means there is an LCA plus, a plus plus, and a plus x3? Either way, there is a killer lineup up headed to Oak Glen Tobacconist. The first of which is a Nicaraguan Puro coming from Montenegro called Batista. Brian Desind and Clark Thornton from Privada Cigar Club and LCA had the following to say:
“On December 31, 1958, at a New Year’s Eve party, the president of Cuba, Fulgencio Batista, told his
cabinet and top officials that he was leaving the country. After seven years, Batista knew his
presidency was over, and that it was only a matter of time until Fidel Castro and his rebel forces
would take control of the island. Batista fled the island early the next morning. Under Batista,
Havana Cuba was the original Las Vegas casino town. It was run by the mob and fueled by gambling
and all the things that come with that. There were millions upon millions of dollars coming in and out
of Cuba, along with tourists from all over the world. The band on this cigar is a “what-if?” What if Batista had stayed in power? The band takes inspiration from traditional Cuban bands, but re-
worked in the vintage neon casino style. Would this be what “traditional” cigar bands look like had Batista stayed? The blend is an 8-year-aged, 5.5×55, Nicaraguan Puro rolled at Montenegro’s factory, Tabacalera Montengro. The blend, style, and flavors of this cigar are all classic, which is why this
blend was chosen to become “Batista.”
The Montenegro Batista Cigar is set to drop this weekend, putting it one week ahead of the Sinistro Plata O Plomo – Tiffany Limited Edition LCA, which is set for April 1st. Don’t miss this beautiful looking cigar offered by Montenegro and get ready for LCA season!
