Crux Cigars Adds Epicure Lonsdale for Privada Cigar Club
Crux Cigars is adding a Lonsdale vitola to its Epicure line, and releasing it first to Privada Cigar Club.
The cigar is a 6 1/2 x 44 vitola, a size said to be a favorite of Brian Desind, founder of Privada Cigar Club. Like the other sizes in the line, it uses a Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and filler, which the company describes as a medium profile. The new size is priced at $10.99 per cigar.
It becomes the seventh size in the line:
- Crux Epicure Corona Gorda (5 3/8 x 46) — $9.26
- Crux Epicure Robusto (5 x 50) — $10
- Crux Epicure Toro (6 1/2 x 52) — $11.50
- Crux Epicure Robusto Extra (5 3/4 x 54) — $10.75
- Crux Epicure Short Salmone (6 x 54) — $11.99
- Crux Epicure Gordo (6 x 60) — $12.50
- Crux Epicure Lonsdale (6 1/2 x 44) — $10.99
Casey Haugen of Crux Cigars told halfwheel that the is a limited release, but has not yet disclosed how many cigars are being released. He added that the company does not currently have a timeline to get it to a regular production release.
This is the second time that Crux has partnered with Privada Cigar Club to release a new size in the Epicure line, as the Short Salomone debuted via Privada in early 2019.
The Crux Epicure line was first introduced in 2016 but did not hit retail shelves until the end of November 2017. It is produced at Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
