Cigar News: Lure Cigars® Announces New Oscuro Core Line

Lure Cigars announces the release of a third core line: ‘Oscuro’ in two vitolas, “The Big Joe” toro & “The Little Joe” robusto.

Lure Cigars brings people together through ‘Tackle & Tobacco’ and encourages cigar enthusiasts to ‘Smoke Great Cigars & Tell Tall Tales.’ ™

Lou Cross, Owner of Lure Cigars Explained:

“Friends that I’ve smoked with are aware that I frequently like to smoke bold-flavored, stronger cigars. It was no surprise that they expected the first cigars I released back in late 2023 to be powerhouses. Over the past year, it’s been humbling to receive the amount of positive feedback from fellow cigar enthusiasts sharing their experiences of enjoying the complexity and nuances offered in our previous releases. But lately, I’ve been craving an even bolder cigar that can be enjoyed with a really strong cup of black coffee, one that will also resonate on a fatigued palate, winding down after a heavy savory meal, or hold up to a dram of high-proof spirit. When sampling this Oscuro blend, I knew that this would be the cigar that met those expectations. It is a strong cigar, yet balanced.”

The Oscuro features a slightly rustic, double-maduro dark brown Oscuro wrapper over a thick binder from Esteli and a selection of premium Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, including Ometepe ligero.

The strength of this cigar is full, and that power is matched in flavor. Your palate will encounter notes of dark roast coffee, freshly tanned leather, dry cocoa, along with a bit of black peppercorn, and dark spices on the finish. This cigar produces thick blue smoke, and a solid barrel of white ash.

This is the third core line offering from Lure Cigars following the Habano and Corojo Oscuro core lines released last year. These cigars are intended to wake up your palate any time of day (hence the name ‘Joe’).

Don’t be afraid of the dark, light up a Lure Cigars Oscuro today!
