Luciano Meirelles of Luciano Cigars has made a significant impact in the cigar world, and his latest collaboration with NBA legend Ron Harper continues this trend. Together, theyβve introduced a new, larger size to the popular Underrated brand called “Summer Breeze.” This grand cigar, which debuted at the PCA trade show earlier this year, will hit retailers by mid-August and is already creating excitement among cigar enthusiasts.
The Inspiration Behind “Summer Breeze”
“Summer Breeze” isnβt just a catchy nameβit reflects a memorable moment between Meirelles and Harper. While enjoying samples of the new cigar during a round of golf, a refreshing breeze swept through at the 10th hole, perfectly capturing the relaxed, enjoyable experience they wanted the cigar to offer. This moment inspired the cigarβs name and essence.
A Closer Look at the Cigar
What sets the Summer Breeze cigar apart? Its size, for starters. Measuring 6 inches long with a 60 ring gauge, itβs the largest in the Underrated lineup. But thereβs more than just its dimensions.
Crafted at the Luciano Tabacos S.A. factory in Nicaragua, the cigar features a blend that highlights the expertise of Meirelles and his team. The cigar has a rich Mexican San AndrΓ©s wrapper known for its earthy flavors and subtle sweetness. Beneath the wrapper is a Nicaraguan binder that adds depth to the smoke.
The fillers make this cigar unique. The blend includes Ecuadorian Habano and Connecticut broadleaf fillers, both known for robust flavors. Additionally, the cigar uses Nicaraguan medio tiempo from Pueblo Nuevo, a rare and potent leaf that adds strength and character.
Availability and Pricing
Summer Breeze cigars come in elegant 20-count boxes, reflecting their premium nature. Despite the quality and size, each cigar is priced at an accessible $9.99 (9,15β¬). This aligns with the Underrated brandβs mission to offer high-quality cigars that deliver great value.
With the addition of Summer Breeze, the Underrated line now includes six different sizes, each offering a distinct smoking experience. However, the Summer Breeze stands out with its unique blend, size, and the story behind its creation.
Luciano Meirelles and Ron Harperβs collaboration has resulted in a cigar that celebrates good times and great smokes. The Summer Breeze is more than just a nameβit promises a smoking experience as refreshing and enjoyable as the breeze that inspired it.
