Patina Cigars to Release First Lancero
Patina Cigars has announced plans to release its first lancero cigar, with a new blend and an as-yet unreleased name.
On Wednesday, Mo Maali, owner of Patina, posted about the cigar on Instagram, noting that the cigar uses an Ecuadorian habano-seed oscuro wrapper, an Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra binder, and fillers from the United States and Nicaragua. It will be offered in a 7 x 40 vitola, with 100 boxes of 20 cigars produced for the first batch.
The cigar is made at Nicaragua American Cigars S.A. (NACSA) in Estelí, Nicaragua. Pricing has not yet been finalized for the cigar, though Maali said that he expects it to be about $14 per cigar. He is planning to release the cigar in either December or January, with three more sizes on the way: a 5 x 54 robusto gordo, a 6 1/4 x 54 toro gordo, and a 6 x 52 toro.
Update (Sept. 7, 2023) — Mo Maali disclosed the factory making the new line, as well as estimated pricing for the lancero and the three additional sizes that will be part of the line.

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.
