The Sergeant

The Sergeant by Luciano Cigars

A tribute to service and selflessness, The Sergeant by Luciano Cigars honors USMC Sgt. Brian Acevedo with a refined, medium‑to‑full expression crafted by Luciano Meirelles. Draped in a dark, perfectly aged Ecuadorian Corojo ’99 rosado wrapper over dual Connecticut binders and an all‑Nicaraguan filler core, it delivers poised power, elegant sweetness, and a crisp, peppery finish.

Key Benefits & Features

Detailed Description

The Sergeant is built for clarity and cadence. The Ecuadorian Corojo ’99 rosado wrapper adds aromatic spice and a touch of sweetness; twin Connecticut binders stabilize combustion and draw, while the Nicaraguan core brings savory richness and verve. Expect an opening of sweet cocoa and damp earth, a mid‑section that layers toasted grain and woods, and a clean, energetic pepper lift through the finish. Construction is dialed‑in—straight burn, tidy ash, and dense, fragrant smoke.

Equally at home as a reflective solo smoke or shared among friends, The Sergeant delivers meaning and mastery in every draw.
