Stephen by Sartorial Tobacconist
Anu Amen-Ra is a Mississippian with Native American heritage. Known as the ‘Sartorial
Tobacconist’ on social media and recently touring as Cam Newton’s personal cigar valet, Anu
traditionally hand-rolls his cigars using the expertise he acquired during his apprenticeship in the
Cuban cigar industry. Via the LCA, Amu is releasing a cigar on the national stage for the first
time. The 6×50 cigar, named ‘Stephen’ in honor of Black History Month, pays tribute to the man,
known only by the name Stephen, credited with discovering nearly 200 years ago a new method
of tobacco curing still used by tobacco producers today. This unique blend features a
Cameroon/Habano hybrid wrapper from Nicaragua’s Condega region and binder and fillers of
American tobacco, sweet Dominican Piloto, and a Peruvian leaf. The ‘Sartorial Tobacconist’s’
debut on the national stage pays homage to the impact that black Americans have made on the
cigar world and offers a truly special, one-of-a-kind tobacco experience.
