Description

This is the second release of this line since the collaboration between Emilio Cigars and Black Label Trading Company (BLTC). The artwork and cigar blend for LJZ were created by James Brown. 

“LJZ is a cigar that has been 70 years in the making. In 1947, my family started LJ Zucca from my grandfather’s front porch and it’s grown into the regional distribution company it is today,” said Scott Zucca, owner of Emilio, in a press release when the cigar was announced. “The LJZ cigar is a tribute not only to them and its many employees, but also to the hard work, character, and entrepreneurial spirit that makes this country great. I believe it’s our best Emilio cigar release yet.”

In early October 2020, the line would get its first limited edition, the Emilio Limited Edition LJZ.

“I’m very excited about this release,” said James Brown, founder of Black Label Trading CO. “..We changed it up a bit by making the cigar with two wrappers. We combined the light habano from the previous release with a sun grown habano.”
