What is this product?
The LCA Vault AJ Fernandez Scrooge Lancero is a limited Nicaraguan puro blended by AJ Fernandez, presented in a classic 7 × 40 Lancero format. It features a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper over a Jalapa binder and Estelí filler tobaccos. Originally released in April 2025, these cigars are part of the original finished allocation that remained in LCA's cellar, where they've aged an additional 1 year and 5 months beyond their initial release. This is not a new production—it's the same original Scrooge release, now offered through The LCA Vault with extra age.
Why this product?
Scrooge delivers a dynamic flavor journey that showcases what the Lancero format does best—amplifying wrapper character while revealing layers of complexity as the cigar evolves. The profile opens with an intriguing mix of spicy honey and graham cracker, followed by red pepper bite, apricot-like tang, and an unusual touch of sesame oil. As it develops, the experience becomes richer and creamier, bringing forward cream, cedar, and mocha. The final act introduces a building cinnamon heat reminiscent of Fireball candy before settling into a finish dominated by aged cedar.
With AJ Fernandez behind the blend and over a year of additional cellar time, this is a chance to experience a piece of LCA history that benefits from extended rest. Once the remaining Vault allocation is gone, it won't return.
Who can buy this product?

Storage and Handling
Ideal Humidity Range
Store your cigars between 65% and 70% relative humidity for optimal flavor, burn consistency, and structure. This range prevents cracking, swelling, and uneven combustion.
Temperature Matters
Keep cigars between 65°F and 70°F (18°C–21°C). Excess heat can damage oils and increase the risk of tobacco beetles, while cold environments can affect burn performance.
Stability Over Perfection
Consistency is more important than hitting an exact number. Sudden humidity swings can damage wrappers and affect draw. A stable environment protects your investment.
Recommended: 2-Way Humidity Control
For effortless maintenance, we recommend Boveda 2-Way Humidity Packs (65% or 69%) to maintain consistent humidity with no refilling, no monitoring stress, and no over-humidifying.
