Luciano Cigars Arrives at PCA 2026 with Two Distinct New Releases

Luciano Cigars is bringing a pair of notably different releases to the 2026 Premium Cigar Association Trade Show in New Orleans—one a deeply personal brand extension rooted in friendship and collaboration, the other a philosophical statement about the nature of ambition and craft.

Cossio No. 1 marks the second cigar bearing Frank Cossio’s name, following his earlier collaborative work with Luciano on the well-received Foreign Affair line. Where that project was conceived as a celebration of human connection across cultural lines, Cossio No. 1 stands as a more personal expression—a cigar built around Cossio’s own palate and vision. The blend brings together an Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper, a Brazilian Mata Fina binder, and a filler combination of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos, a construction that promises both complexity and depth.

The second release, The Maker, takes its place as a new permanent addition to Luciano’s core portfolio, following the thematic thread established by earlier releases like The Traveler and The Dreamer. Built around the idea that intention alone means little without execution, the cigar features a Habano Corojo 99 wrapper over a double binder of Ecuadorian Sumatra seed and Mexican San Andrés, with Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers rounding out a blend the company describes as medium to full in body. It will be offered in two vitolas—a Toro (6 x 52, $12.75) and a Sublime (6½ x 54, $12.95)—with shipments expected around the end of May.
