Sinistro Plata O Plomo Cigar – Tiffany Limited Edition.

The latest and greatest from LCA and Privada Cigar Club drops one week from now, on Thursday, March 31st at 9pm CA time/12am est. Get ready everyone, this is going to be a banger. Something I appreciate about the Limited Cigar Association is that it stretches the palate of the cigar smoker, gets you out of your comfort zone to try new things, and experience blends that you wouldn’t normally try. This month’s drop is no exception. Introducing the Plata O Plomo – Tiffany Limited Edition by Sinistro Cigars. We haven’t carried Sinistro cigars in the OGT humidor yet, so it will be interesting to light up this stick and see how it performs. What is it? Good question, a word from Brian Desind of LCA and Privada Cigar Club:

“Over 18 months ago, the original Plata O Plomo was released in the Privada Cigar Club monthly
subscription box and greeted with overwhelmingly positive feedback from our members. The cigar
came from James and Coleman of Sinistro and was rolled at La Aurora, the oldest cigar factory in the
Dominican Republic. James, being the perfectionist that he is, spent four months working on the
blend, and he incorporated into the blend some of that tobacco that La Aurora is famous for: andullo.
The method of producing andullo is extremely slow and labor intensive. Basically, the tobacco is
wrapped and fermented in leaves from a banana tree for months at a time until the tobacco takes on
an almost paste-like consistency with an extremely distinctive taste. In addition to the andullo in the
filler, there are also Nicaraguan, Peruvian, and Dominican leaves in the filler, an undisclosed binder,
and a Connecticut Shade wrapper on this 7×38 lancero. This LE version of Plata o Plomo is a
tweaked blend from the original, and is distinguished by a foot band which the original didn’t have.
The name of this cigar “Plata o Plomo” references a saying that was often used by kingpin Pablo
Escobar. It translates literally to “silver or lead” and was basically an invitation to accept a bribe to
cooperate with Escobar (silver) or else get a bullet in the head (lead). You can see on the band coins
on one side clashing with bullets on the other.”
