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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #800000;\"\u003eWhy this product?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScrooge 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 \u003cstrong\u003espicy honey and graham cracker\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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 \u003cstrong\u003ecream, cedar, and mocha\u003c\/strong\u003e. The final act introduces a building cinnamon heat reminiscent of Fireball candy before settling into a finish dominated by aged cedar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.
