This week brings exciting news for cigar lovers: the highly anticipated Lampert Oro Kingpin is arriving at select stores across the U.S. With its unique blend of tobaccos and expert craftsmanship, the Kingpin promises to be a standout in the premium cigar market.
Inside the Kingpin
The Lampert Oro Kingpin is a striking 4 x 62 double perfecto cigar, offering both visual appeal and a rich smoking experience. Its Ecuadorian criollo wrapper covers an Ecuadorian habano 2000 binder, while the filler combines tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Peru. This diverse blend brings together the finest flavors from renowned tobacco regions, resulting in a complex and satisfying profile.
Unlike many cigars, the tobaccos in the Kingpin undergo an impressive five-year aging process before being rolled. This extra time allows the flavors to deepen and smooth out, ensuring a well-balanced and refined smoke. The cigars are expertly rolled at Tabacos de Costa Rica, a factory known for its high standards and attention to detail.
New Size for the Lampert Oro Line
The Kingpin introduces a fresh size to the Lampert Oro collection. It joins three other well-known cigars:
- Lampert Oro El Gringo (5 x 50)
- Lampert Oro Don Patron (6 x 52)
- Lampert Oro Gatsby (6 x 52)
The Kingpinβs 4 x 62 size offers a shorter yet fuller-bodied experience. This makes it ideal for cigar enthusiasts who want a quicker smoke without sacrificing flavor or depth.

Priced at an MSRP of $18 per cigar, the Kingpin comes in boxes of 10. It will first be available at 10 select U.S. retailers:

This design enhances the initial draw and releases a variety of flavors as the cigar progresses.
