Limited Cigar Association: Subterraneo Orum (by AJ Fernandez) Cigars

Introduced by Privada Cigar Club in 2020, the Limited Cigar Association offers one of the most unique opportunities in the cigar industry: Instead of fashioning cigars themselves, Privada partners with some of the most respected brands and personalities in the industry to create limited-production cigars released exclusively through LCA to its retail partners. These special cigars are available only through LCA, and they release a new one every month, ensuring that connoisseurs can always anticipate something fresh and exciting.

LCA's monthly release model already offers aficionados a unique experience, and the brand's Subterraneo series expands that even further: The line comprises 14 Nicaraguan puros with varying wrappers, all hand-rolled by AJ Fernandez, but the blends are distributed among LCA's retailers, with no one retailer offering all 14 — with only 13 released thus far. Such a process creates a nationwide scavenger hunt of sorts in order to complete the entire set, fostering community and cooperation within the industry.

The Subterraneo name is derived from Mayan mythology in which the underworld ("Subterraneo") is responsible for supplying the soil with nutrients necessary for tobacco cultivation in Central America. Below is the complete list of LCA's Subterraneo cigars, along with their size and wrapper type, with each cigar's production limited to only 7,500:
