Luciano Cigars is a company that has undergone some significant changes. Last year, the company was known as ACE Prime, but since then has taken on the name of its CEO and blender, Luciano Meirelles. As a part of that rebranding, the company has also made significant changes, setting up a new factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, its own distribution and fulfillment center in Florida, and establishing its own sales force. Along the way, the company has still focused on product innovation. At the 2023 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, plenty of new products were showcased. One of the most exciting things about Luciano Cigars is it has established a network of partners and collaborators that are a part of its business model. This has allowed these partners and collaborators to leverage the production capabilities at the Luciano Cigars factory and the sales and distribution the company has established. This model reminded me quite a bit of what C.L.E. Cigar Company had done with the Fabricas Unidas model - serving as an "incubator" for its partners and collaborators. Now it's fascinating to see it happening again in the cigar industry. Full PCA Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-qjy

Tim does some time traveling with Nick and James to discuss the latest Simply Stogies Podcast Episode with Luciano Meirelles of Luciano Cigars. This episode also brings to you the newest place to enjoy your cigar, the CTA Temple, as Nick, James, and Tim discuss what they believe cigar smoking is all about. We realize life is short and it's important to enjoy the finer things in and about life.

Nick and James sit down with Master Blender and owner of Luciano Cigars, Luciano Meirelles. Luciano tells us why the Maria Lucia is so special to him and how it fulfills his promise from the 2022 PCA Trade Show. We talk about what's real in the cigar industry and how Luciano Cigars is helping mentor new brands and blenders. Luciano discusses hi "a ha!" moment when it comes to cigars, some of what he has in store for everyone at this year's trade show, and much more. This is an interview you can't miss!

James visits the crew of FatAsh Cigar Lounge in Ashland, Kentucky for the third annual My Old Kentucky Herf! James talks with Dwight Adkins, owner of FatAsh Cigar Lounge and founder of MOKH, to discuss what's new this year. During the event, James speaks with Riste of JSK, Greg Free of Fuerte Y Libre, Oscar Valladares of OV Cigars, Rick Rodriguez from West Tampa Tobacco Co., Luciano Meirelles of Luciano Cigars, David Blanco, from Blanco Cigars, Andy Yaffee of Micallef Cigars, and we find out about the Ohio Cigar Mafia and their charitable work.

In this episode of Deep Cuts Live with host Antoine Reid, we chat with Luciano Meirelles, owner of Luciano Cigars (formerly Ace Prime). When Luciano Meirelles' family faced a traumatic event, he knew he had to make a change. Determined to be more present with his loved ones, he decided to simplify his life and pursue his passion for cigars. But instead of launching his own brand right away, Luciano took a different approach – he grew tobacco, learned how to ferment it, and made cigars for others long before starting his own label. In this inspiring interview, we'll learn more about Luciano's journey, his philosophy on creating a premium cigar brand, and how he defines his purpose. Whether you're a cigar enthusiast or simply someone who struggles with work/life balance, Luciano's story is sure to motivate and inspire you.

Imagine “hearing” colors, “feeling” sounds and “tasting” shapes. That's what synesthetes like Luciano Meirelles, president and CEO of Luciano Cigars, experience. Learn how Luciano's synesthesia has helped him identify nuances of different tobaccos, categorize them and blend them to create some of cigar smokers' favorite premium cigars, including Luciano The Dreamer, Pichardo Clásico and The Sergeant. Host of Box Press, Rob Gagner and Luciano smoke the Fiat Lux Intuition in this interview at Boveda headquarters west of Minneapolis. According to Scientific America, synesthesia is an anomalous blending of the senses in which the stimulation of one modality simultaneously produces sensation in a different modality. In other words, synesthetes experience something through a sense that manifests itself as something entirely different e.g. a taste = some shape. For Luciano, he has an eidetic memory (Sheldon Cooper, anyone?) of tobacco flavors that help him pinpoint which tobacco will blend well together.

Oct 2nd 2022. The Cigar Smokers are joined by a good friend Ed Trevino (@cigarguyed) . We got to sit down with Ed , who was recently become the Sales Director of Luciano Cigars.

For Ace Prime Cigars' third PCA/IPCPR Trade Show, the company shared a booth with Crowned Heads and the newly launched Ozgener Family Cigars.  While Crowned Heads serves as the distribution hub for the three companies, Ace Prime's Tabacalera Pichardo has emerged as the production hub. Tabacalera Pichardo is doing production for Ozgener Family Cigars, and in the past couple of years has been picking up a lot more production for Crowned Heads. At the same time, Ace Prime has been quietly building up a solid portfolio. This year was perhaps the best for Ace Prime as the company launched Mas Igneus and the PCA Exclusive Maria Lucia. Both garnered acclaim for the samples that have been given out, and this demonstrates the emergence of Ace Prime co-owner Luciano Meirelles as one of the rising stars in the world of blending. When you talk to Meirelles, one thing is very clear – Luciano Meirelles loves tobacco. PCA 2022 Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-nfY

From the 2021 PCA Trade Show, we talk to Luciano Meirelles of ACE Prime. 2021 marked the second Premium Cigar Association (PCA)/IPCPR Trade Show for ACE Prime. Two years ago, ACE Prime made a huge splash at its debut Trade Show with over ten releases. Also at the 2019 Show, ACE Prime was bolstered by the presence of NBA Stars Dominique Wilkins and Tiago Splitter. 2021 is a very different story. This year ACE Prime was sharing the booth with its strategic alliance partner Crowned Heads. Product-wise, there only two new releases. At the same time, there was no doubt the ACE Prime had taken things to the next level as there was a lot of energy and excitement in the booth. There were several reasons for this energy and excitement. It starts off with co-owner Luciano Meirelles. Very simply, Luciano loves tobacco – and he has also quickly established himself as a leader in the tobacco business. Secondly, one has to notice how ACE Prime and Crowned Heads have developed a synergy. You could see it was all one family and the joint booth made this one of the more special booths at the 2021 PCA Trade Show. References PCA 2021 Report: ACE Prime
