The Leaf by Oscar line, the cigars best known for being wrapped in a tobacco leaf has added a third size.  The new size will be a 7 x 40 Lancero and will be available in the four blends that comprise the Leaf by Oscar line. This new Lancero will be a limited offering to a select 50 retailers nationwide.

Leaf by Oscar is a collaboration between Pittsburgh-based retailer Jim Robinson and Honduran cigar maker Oscar Valladares.  The line was launched in 2014 with four blends : Leaf by Oscar Connecticut, Leaf by Oscar Corojo, Leaf by Oscar Maduro, and Leaf by Oscar Sumatra. Originally the cigar was offered in a 6 x 50 Toro, but recently a 6 x 60 offering was added.  The new Lancero becomes the first limited offering under the Leaf by Oscar brand.

Over the past several weeks, the Lanceros have been informally handed out at various Leaf events. The cigars are expected to ship to retailers in the near future.
