Drops Thursday, August 4th at 9pm CA Time/12am est.
As some may or may not know, the total set of Subterraneo blends by AJ Fernandez is fourteen. As of now, twelve of them have been released into the wild. What became of the other two? We just found one! Introducing the August LCA (Limited Cigars Association) and Privada Cigar Club drop, Subterraneo Mercury. An aspect I really enjoy about the whole Subbteraneo line is the unique tobaccos and innovative blends AJ worked on for this project. The rest of this line, which now half are available at OGT, use tobacco like hybrid leaf, Habano, and unique binders and fillers. The Subterraneo Mercury is no exception. The binder on the Mercury Cigar is a hybrid Nicaraguan Broadleaf, something I have never seen before, and I am curious to see how it plays out. Brian Desind of Privada Cigar Club and LCA Cigars stated the following:
“After the release of the first twelve cigars in the Subterraneo Series, we now bring you the
thirteenth and second to last cigar in the fourteen-part series: Mercury. Known for her wisdom,
Mercury was an alien-human, but closer to alien, hybrid species who was able to communicate
both with the extra-terrestrials of Subterraneo legend and the pre-Mayan peoples. She was
regarded as the messenger between the pre-Mayan humans and the other hybrid-beings of
Subterraneo who had all lost the ability to communicate directly with humans.
Mercury is a 6×54 toro featuring a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper, a hybrid Nicaraguan Broadleaf
binder, and fillers of corojo and criollo from Estelí. All tobaccos used in Mercury were grown,
fermented, blended, and rolled by AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua. We believe Mercury to be the
most balanced smoking experience of the entire series.”
