From Privada/LCA:
"Limited Cigar Association proudly unveils "The Stag 2024," a distinguished release meticulously crafted in the lush landscapes of Nicaragua. The Stag harmonizes a unique blend, featuring a binder from Estelí and fillers from Jalapa, all meticulously encased in a prized broadleaf wrapper from the Connecticut River Valley. This wrapper, fermented for over three years, stands among the most prestigious and expensive in the cigar world. We're especially fortunate to feature it on this exquisite 5 1/2 x 54 release. Crafted by the renowned Mr. Guillermo Pena, celebrated for his contributions to Paul Stulac and the Stallone brand, this offering is a testament to his expertise, passion, and commitment to the cigar craft. The Stag 2024 is noteworthy not only for its exceptional composition but also for its significant band—a symbol of excellence last seen on a 60 ring gauge Connecticut shade cigar for Privada Cigar Club in 2019. The Stag band is a hallmark of distinction, awarded to cigars that not only pair exceptionally well with scotch but also meet the standards of being 54 ring gauge or larger and offering a uniquely remarkable smoking experience. This prestigious recognition, marking The Stag 2024 as the first in four years to achieve such acclaim, underscores its exceptional complexion. Despite the premium nature of this wrapper and the nine months of post-rolling aging, we aim to offer The Stag at a price that allows connoisseurs to savor the authentic taste of real broadleaf. The Stag 2024 is a celebration of mastery, craft, and the shared passion that fuels our love for cigars."
