This fall, Nat Cicco will be adding a lancero to its Casino Real line. It’s a 7 1/2 x 40 vitola that will use an Ecuadorian wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and filler, the same as is found in the other sizes in the line.

The company is planning to showcase the cigar at this summer’s PCA Convention & Trade Show in July, though it isn’t expected to reach store shelves until September or October. When it does, it will have an MSRP of $6.19 and be offered in boxes of 24 cigars.

The cigar is produced at AgroIndustrial Nicaraguense de Tabacos S.A.

The Nat Cicco brand is owned by Zander-Greg; the company made the announcement via Cigar Aficionado, but has not yet confirmed the accuracy of that report.

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 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.
