LCA: Red Ryder 2025 (MSRP: $12.25) | 6x52 

"You'll shoot your eye out, kid!"

Red Ryder returns for the holidays, rebuilt and elevated. The original 2022 release became a seasonal favorite, but this new edition takes the blend in a richer, more developed direction while moving to a 6x52 vitola. Crafted by AJ Fernandez and rolled at Tabacalera Annex, it features a Nicaraguan Sumatran wrapper, a Condega binder, and a filler blend pulled from Estelí and Jalapa.

The profile leans warm and expressive, offering layers of spice, toasted wood, and a layer of natural sweetness that made the original so memorable. This version smokes longer, smoother, and with more complexity. Enough so that Brian called it his favorite cigar of the year.
