LB Cigars is a boutique premium cigar brand created by Luisa Bautista, an entrepreneur and cigar enthusiast whose love for the craft has driven her to build something rooted in quality, personality, and artisan blending. Drawing on tobaccos from multiple growing regions, Bautista has crafted a portfolio with broad appeal—welcoming to newcomers, satisfying to seasoned smokers—and made its PCA Show debut at the 2026 edition in New Orleans.
The brand’s Sara-Jane collection is offered in Robusto, Toro, and Lancero vitolas. Each cigar is built around an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, an Ecuadorian binder, and a multi-country filler blend drawing from the Dominican Republic, Peru, and Ecuador. The result is a mild and smooth smoke with a refined flavor profile.
The 30-30 collection serves as a bolder companion line, available in Robusto and Toro formats, offering its own distinct character and complexity for smokers looking to explore a different expression of the LB Cigars identity. Wrapped with an Ecuadorian Habano leaf, the blend consists of an Ecuadorian binder and a filler blend of tobaccos from Nicaragua, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.
Rounding out the portfolio are two new additions—Year of the Horse and 056—both recently unveiled by Bautista. Year of the Horse pays homage to LB Cigars’ previous success in Asia as a Honduran puro that’s smooth, light and balanced. The company is making the cigar available in the American market as a Toro with a Lancero version available in Asia. 056 is the telephone code for Bautista’s hometown of San Francisco in the Dominican Republic. It comes in just the Toro format but with two variations: Corojo and Oscuro. The Corojo is medium strength with a Corojo wrapper, Honduran binder and Honduran and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, while the Oscuro features a Honduran Habana wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and Honduran and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos to create a more full-bodied experience.
