LCA: Year of Ed
6 x 54
Factory: Tabacalera Annex
Wrapper: Jalapa Habano
Binder: Salvadoran
Filler: Estelí & Condega
This one is textbook Fernandez craft with a wink. We let it rest two years to calm the punch and let the sweetness bloom. Year Of Ed reads like a box of chocolates: immediate, honest cocoa, then a parade of nuts and caramel. It’s plush in the middle and sharp enough at the finish to make the conversation last. This is what aged Nicaraguan tobacco is supposed to taste like.
LCA+: Cavalier Geneve Paca
6 x 50
Factory: FCT, Honduras
Wrapper: Habano
Binder: Connecticut
Filler: Nicaraguan & Peruvian
This one showed up again with proof. Years after the original run we located a sealed allocation that sat quiet in factory cellars and confirmed three full years of age. The strip of paca fabric isn’t decoration — it’s literal provenance. These leaves slept on the very burlap that carried them, and the fabric carries that history across the band. We worked with Cavalier Geneve and the factory to bring them back as they were made: Plasencia tobacco at the center, Honduran craft, and that gold-foil diamond that always makes collectors pause.
