Leccia Tobacco Black Ships This Week
Toraño Family Cigar Co. announced Monday morning that the Leccia Tobacco Black has begun shipping to retailers, completing the release of Sam Leccia’s two debut lines.
The Leccia Tobacco White began shipping on April 23, ahead of its scheduled May release.
The Leccia Tobacco Black is being made at an undisclosed factory in the Dominican Republic and uses a Habano wrapper with a Nicaraguan Rosado binder. The filler is Nicaraguan and Dominican ligeros, Brazilian viso, and according to the company, “a very unique tobacco called dark fire,” which is wood fire cured and is said to give the cigar a distinct smoked whisky aroma. The Leccia Tobacco Black is billed as medium to full bodied with a very smooth strength that builds throughout the cigar.

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.
