Luciano Meirelles, Co-founder and CEO
Luciano's made a huge contribution to this industry, with his ideas, creativity and innovation for the future of cigars. I told him once to take care of our future, and now I can only await with anticipation for what's to come from Luciano Cigars.
Carlito Fuente
Luciano is building a company of growers, producers, and artisans with a highly creative approach. The Luciano Cigars transformation is something to keep your eye on and I wish him mad success!
Jonathan Drew
Before one can be judged on his success, one must be judged on his values and principles. Luciano is a special soul, one that has his heart in the right place and sees into the horizon.
Jeremiah Meerapfel
I commend Luciano for taking this great step. It would be an honor and privilege to eventually connect our two tobacco families. I look forward to blending beautiful cigars together.

About Us

ESTELI · NICARAGUA · SINCE 2019

Luciano Cigars

More than twenty years ago -- long before the brand existed -- the foundation was already being built in the fields: cultivating tobacco, understanding the land, and working alongside the people whose lives depend on it. That early connection to agriculture shaped everything that followed.

What began as a nonprofit initiative in Esteli, Nicaragua, focused on creating fair-wage jobs, quickly grew into something more. Through manufacturing for other premium brands, a deeper connection formed -- not only to the craft, but to the culture and the people behind it. In 2017, that foundation led to the launch of Ace Prime Cigars.

After years of growth and partnership, Luciano Cigars emerged as the next phase -- an independent, fully integrated company. More recently, Luciano Cigars formed Constella Group, an international organization spanning the full spectrum of the tobacco business: cultivation, processing, trading, private-label manufacturing, accessories, and nonprofit initiatives.

Today, everything lives under one name. From growing and sourcing tobacco to blending, production, and distribution, every step is connected and intentional -- every cigar built with respect for the process and the people behind it. Created not just to be smoked, but to stand for something.

Luciano Meirelles, Co-Founder and CEO

After more than a decade in the industry, Luciano now directs Luciano Cigars, a fully vertically-integrated company from seed to smoke. The co-founder and namesake of our company leads with passion for premium cigars and the people who make them.

Having built his career as a highly successful serial entrepreneur and political consultant, Luciano's name brings a commitment to working only at the highest standard of excellence.

Tiago Splitter, Co-Founder

Besides being a co-founder of Luciano Cigars, Tiago Splitter is best known as the first Brazilian-born player to ever win an NBA championship in 2014 with the San Antonio Spurs. With an extraordinary career that spanned across continents, Luciano Cigars is proud to have Tiago Splitter now on our team.

After retiring from the Spurs, Tiago has now focused on his career as an assistant coach for the Brooklyn Nets and as a co-founder of our company. Tiago is an inspiring embodiment of grit, passion, and a commitment to always elevating the values that matter most.

Our Process

The journey of each and every one of our cigars begins and ends with people. All of our cigars are hand-rolled at the Luciano Cigars Factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, before being shipped for distribution to our warehouse in West Palm Beach, FL.

We honor all of the lives involved in this artisanal craft. To be cigar makers is a great opportunity and privilege we humbly treasure.

Fiat Lux

Fiat Lux

Fiat Lux

Let there be light.

Crafted to inspire reflection and intentionality, Fiat Lux encourages you to slow down and engage with the moment. Named after the Latin phrase for "Let there be light," it explores the journey toward clarity, mindfulness, and intellectual discovery.

The blend offers a refined, medium-bodied experience with layers that unfold gently: creamy texture, natural sweetness, a touch of pepper, and warm undertones of coffee and cedar. Every draw is a moment of balance between flavor and thought.

The Dreamer

The Dreamer

A celebration of the uniquely human gift to dream forward.

The Dreamer is a celebration of that uniquely human gift -- the ability to dream forward, to envision new realities and bring them to life. It is a reflection of our distinction as creators, thinkers, and storytellers.

Crafted with intention, The Dreamer carries notes of nuts, subtle spice, and moderate sweetness, with evolving layers that mirror the inner landscape of imagination. Each draw invites reflection -- an exploration of ideas, emotions, and possibilities waiting to be shaped.

Mas Igneus

Mas Igneus

Strength without aggression.

Mas Igneus -- a Catalan phrase meaning "House of Ignition" -- captures the spirit of this bold and refined cigar. Crafted with Luciano Meirelles' signature approach to strength without aggression, it offers a medium-to-full-bodied profile with a beautifully balanced pH and flavors that deliver power with finesse.

Originally developed to pair with the acclaimed "M" wine from Spain's historic Mas Igneus Winery in Priorat, this cigar shines alongside bold, high-tannin reds -- Priorat, American Cabernet, and Malbec -- and pairs exceptionally with bourbon, matching its warmth and complexity.

Maria Lucia

Maria Lucia

Subtle yet bold -- just like the woman who inspired it.

Maria Lucia is a tribute to Luciano's mother -- an elegant force of nature who passed when he was just twelve. The cigar's artwork was drawn by his daughter, Deborah Meirelles, at just fourteen years old, guided by a dream of a woman she had never met but felt deeply connected to. Deborah created the portrait without ever seeing a photo.

Wrapped in Connecticut Broadleaf with fillers from the Dominican Republic, Peru, and Nicaragua, Maria Lucia balances sweet oak, vibrant acidity, and a medium-full strength. Box-pressed for a smooth draw, it is subtle yet bold, complex, and unforgettable -- just like the woman who inspired it.

Maria Lucia - Limited Edition

Maria Lucia - Limited Edition

A deeper revelation of character.

This Limited Edition Parejo format of the best-selling Maria Lucia pays tribute to Luciano's mother with even greater intensity -- uncovering new layers of her strength, resilience, and complexity.

Wrapped in a bold Mexican San Andrés Ligero and bound by a unique dual binder of Connecticut Broadleaf and Sumatra, this cigar brings a new dimension to the Maria Lucia story. A filler blend of Peruvian, Brazilian Mata Fina, and Nicaraguan tobaccos amplifies the original's signature frequency while introducing deeper contrast and emotion. The construction delivers a perfect draw, allowing the full spectrum of flavors to unfold in harmony.

It's the same spirit you've come to love -- now deeper, more expressive, and unapologetically her.

The Maker

The Maker

From Dreamer to Maker. A journey forged in purpose, perfected by hand.

The Maker is Luciano's flagship -- the embodiment of what happens when a dream is met with discipline. Where The Dreamer celebrates imagination, The Maker honors the act of building: the hands, the hours, and the intention behind every cigar that leaves the factory.

Structured and execution-driven, it is a blend designed to reward focus. A Habano Corojo '99 wrapper crowns a binder of Sumatra and Mexico over a filler of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos, delivering a refined, purposeful smoke that carries the full weight of the Luciano name.

It is, simply, a cigar made by makers -- for those who build.

The Sergeant

The Sergeant

A tribute to service and sacrifice.

The Sergeant honors those who serve -- and those who carry the weight of that service long after they come home. It is a salute rendered in tobacco: disciplined, dependable, and built to stand at attention.

An Ecuadorian Corojo '98 wrapper covers a U.S.A. Connecticut Hybrid binder and a Nicaraguan filler drawn from Estélí Ligero, Jalapa, and Pueblo Nuevo visos -- a blend with backbone and quiet resolve.

The Machinist

The Machinist

For those who craft the future.

The Machinist is a tribute to precision -- to the people who measure twice, tune relentlessly, and build the tools that build everything else. It was inspired by Jack Beaver, who chased precision in all he did.

The blend reflects that exacting spirit: notes of cocoa and cedar carried on a current of freshness. A Mexican San Andrés Viso wrapper sits over a binder of Ecuadorian Sumatra Viso and Indonesian leaf, with an inventive filler of American Pennsylvania, Dominican HVA, and dark air-cured South African tobacco.

It is a cigar engineered for those who craft the future, one careful detail at a time.

Underrated

Underrated

Defy expectations.

Underrated is affordable luxury -- proof that accessible never has to mean compromised. It was built for the smoker who has been counted out and answered anyway, delivering the refinement of a premium blend at a price that lets you reach for it every day.

The cigar was conceived and co-owned with Ron Harper, the five-time NBA champion who spent a career being underestimated and winning regardless. That same chip-on-the-shoulder spirit runs through the blend: a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder, with a filler drawn from Ecuador, Nicaragua, and the United States.

Don't let the value fool you. Underrated has everything to prove, and it does.

Foreign Affair

Foreign Affair

A global connection.

Foreign Affair is what happens when two worlds meet over a shared love of fine tobacco. It is a partnership between Luciano Meirelles and Frank Cossio -- two perspectives, two backgrounds, one blend that speaks a common language.

Medium-bodied and built for conversation, it carries an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a dual binder of Nicaraguan and Ecuadorian leaf, with a filler drawn from Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic. The result is balanced, worldly, and inviting -- a cigar with no borders.

Some affairs are worth having out in the open.

Dalay Nicaragua

Dalay Nicaragua

The soul of Nicaragua's tobacco tradition.

Dalay Nicaragua is a collaboration with Salih Dalay and Dalay Zigarren of Germany -- a meeting of Esteli's terroir and European refinement. It was made to capture the soul of Nicaragua's tobacco tradition and carry it across the Atlantic intact.

An Ecuadorian Corojo '98 wrapper crowns a dual binder of Brazilian Arapiraca and Ecuadorian Corojo '98, over an all-Nicaraguan filler pulled from Pueblo Nuevo, Jalapa, Esteli, and Masatepe. The blend is rich and rooted, a portrait of the country in every draw.

It is Nicaragua, expressed with intention.

The Resilient

The Resilient

Forged in friendship. ESTD 2025.

The Resilient is a Limited Edition born from the friendship of Adrián González and Luciano Meirelles -- a tribute to the bonds that endure and the character that comes from weathering everything life sends your way.

Cubanesque and medium-bodied, the blend unfolds with a nutty creaminess, mild spice, and warm notes of cocoa and coffee. An Ecuadorian Colorado H92 wrapper sits over a Nicaraguan binder and a filler of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos -- balanced, refined, and quietly confident.

Established 2025, in limited release.

Élevé

To elevate.

Élevé is a Limited Edition that marks the launch of Constella Group -- the union of Luciano with EMT, the 142-year-old Portuguese tobacco company. It is a cigar built to commemorate a new chapter, and to elevate everything that came before it.

The blend is layered and elegant: creamy cedar, sweet spice, and a thread of dried fruit. An Ecuadorian Colorado H92 wrapper crowns a Brazilian Matafina binder, over a rare filler drawn from the Azores, the Dominican Republic, and the United States.

A limited release worthy of the moment it celebrates.
