The Maria Lucia is a limited-edition cigar that is named after the mother of Luciano Meirelles, who is the co-founder and CEO of Luciano Cigars. Luciano dedicated the cigars to honor his mother’s legacy of being someone who faced and overcame the many obstacles in her life. The cigar’s band features a drawing of Maria Lucia. The illustration was created by Deborah, Luciano’s daughter. The cigar’s blend consists of a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper that covers a dual binder of Ecuadorian Sumatra and Ecuadorian Habano ’92 leaves, and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. Once lit, the cigar offers a complexity of flavors that will appeal to both veteran and novice smokers. The cigars are handmade by Luciano Cigars in Nicaragua.

A Corona Extra (traditionally 5 1/2*46) can range from 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 inches by a 45 to 47 ring gauge.

A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.

This cigar is 5"5/8 inches long, or 142.88 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 46, so his diameter is 46/64 inches or 18.29 mm.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.

Luciano Tobaccos is a premium cigar manufacturer located in Nicaragua. The company was founded by Don Eradio Pichardo, a Cuban born tobacco agriculturist and master blender. Luciano Tobaccos produces cigars for some of the most highly recognized cigar brands in the world under nondisclosure agreements (NDAs). In 2019, Pichardo partnered with Luciano Meirelles and Tiago Splitter to form Luciano Cigars.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Connecticut Broadleaf is grown in the United States' Connecticut Valley and is prized for its dark, oily, full flavored and aromatic characteristics. The plants are grown in full sun giving this cigar wrapper its characteristic sweetness. The Connecticut Broadleaf plant leaves are mainly processed as maduro tobacco. Today, Connecticut Broadleaf seeds are being grown in other countries besides the United States.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow binders, because it is located on the Equator and it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. Ecuador supplies Connecticut and Sumatra type binders to many cigar factory in the world.

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Filler (or “tripa” in Spanish) is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar. The Dominican Republic is considered one of the most premier tobacco growing countries in the world. The filler tobacco grown in this Caribbean island nation ranges from mild to full bodied. Olor Dominicano and Piloto Cubano are the main types of tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic.
