LCA Plus: Mechudo by Raul Lanuza (6x52) MSRP: $13.50

• A New Dimension: Mechudo made waves in its Robusto debut. Now it’s back in a 6x52 Toro, offering a longer, more developed take on Raul Lanuza’s standout blend—richer, more layered, and built to evolve.
• Tradition in the Twist: Named for the traditional mechudo ponytail cap at the head of the cigar, this detail is more than cosmetic—it’s a nod to old-world rolling styles rarely seen outside of Central America’s most storied factories.
• Lanuza Legacy: Crafted by Raul Lanuza, master blender of Sea Monkeys, at the family’s namesake factory in Estelí. This is a cigar rooted in three generations of Nicaraguan tobacco craft.
• Pure Nicaraguan Character: Mechudo is a true Nicaraguan puro—grown, fermented, and rolled in Estelí. It delivers the strength, structure, and natural sweetness that define the region at its best.
• Built for Complexity: Mechudo develops with precision from start to finish, offering depth without distraction. Every component—wrapper, binder, and filler—was selected to build a profile that evolves with balance and clarity.
