ADV & McKay Introduces La Llorona Corona: A Tale of Adventure

In 2022, ADV & McKay embarked on a new venture, unveiling the La Llorona line—a testament to the company’s commitment to storytelling through cigars. Named after a character from Latin American folklore, La Llorona is not just a cigar; it’s a narrative woven into the larger tapestry of the ADVentura storyline.

The La Llorona line is intricately linked to the adventures of ADVentura and his trusty sidekick McKay—fictional explorers on a perpetual journey of expeditions, missions, and escapades. This particular line, a reward for the brand’s top accounts, adds an exclusive touch, ensuring it remains a sought-after cigar with limited availability.

Crafted with precision, the La Llorona blend features an Ecuadorian wrapper paired with a Dominican binder and fillers sourced from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Initially launched in a 5 x 50 robusto vitola, the line expanded with the introduction of a new size at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show.

The latest addition to La Llorona is the 6 x 44 corona, priced at $16 per cigar and $160 for a box of 10 cigars. Notably, production is capped at a mere 1,000 boxes, adding an element of exclusivity to this captivating cigar narrative. As La Llorona heads to stores, enthusiasts can anticipate a blend that transcends the ordinary, inviting them to join the intriguing world of ADV & McKay’s cigar adventures.
