Stephen – February 2024 LCA Release

Anu Amen-Ra is a Mississippian with Native American heritage. Known as the ‘Sartorial Tobacconist’ on social media and recently touring as Cam Newton’s personal cigar valet, Anu traditionally hand-rolls his cigars using the expertise he acquired during his apprenticeship in the Cuban cigar industry. Via the LCA, Amu is releasing a cigar on the national stage for the first time. The 6×50 cigar, named ‘Stephen’ in honor of Black History Month, pays tribute to the man, known only by the name Stephen, credited with discovering nearly 200 years ago a new method of tobacco curing still used by tobacco producers today. This unique blend features a Cameroon/Habano hybrid wrapper from Nicaragua’s Condega region and binder and fillers of American tobacco, sweet Dominican Piloto, and a Peruvian leaf. The ‘Sartorial Tobacconist’s’ debut on the national stage pays homage to the impact that black Americans have made on the cigar world and offers a truly special, oneof-a-kind tobacco experience. Release Date: Friday, February 2nd.
