Pichardo Fiat Lux Insight lonsdale bx20

Made by Luciano & Ace Prime Cigars at Tabacalera Pichardo in Nicaragua, which is also the source for a number of Crowned Heads cigars. Fiat Lux is Latin for the biblical phrase, “Let there be light.” But Luciano adds that the reference is closer to the word “enlightened,” as in when you discover “the complexity of flavors” along with “the possibility of introspection” as you smoke. Sounds like heady stuff. Yet the Fiat Lux is far from heady in pleasure.

ACE Prime co-founder Luciano Meirelles rolled Fiat Lux with a dark, high-priming, ACE Prime estate grown Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. Estate grown Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Pueblo Nuevo, Jalapa and Ometepe complete the full-bodied recipe.
