Salem, NH – Somewhere deep in the Dominican Republic (in a factory that shall remain nameless for fear of being canceled by the anti-lectin community), a cigar has been born. Not just any cigar—oh no—this is Lectin, the Official 15th Anniversary Cigar of The Cigar Authority.
For those keeping score, The Cigar Authority has been invading your ears every Saturday since April 1, 2010 (yes, they launched on April Fool’s Day, and somehow, it’s still going). They’ve never missed a single show, which is either incredibly impressive or a sign that they need a hobby. For the past five years, they’ve marked each milestone with a special limited-edition cigar, blessing the world with hits like The Lancero, Fat Fingers, and The Plugg. And now, we get Lectin—because clearly, nothing screams “celebration” like an obscure dietary villain.
So, what’s a lectin, you ask? Glad you brought it up. Lectins are plant proteins that, depending on who you ask, either help protect plants from pests or turn your digestive system into a war zone. They’re found in all the fun foods—beans, wheat, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, lentils, peas, and peanuts—essentially everything that Co-Host Mr. Jonathan has spent years warning you to avoid. He’s basically made it his personal crusade to rid the world of lectins. So, the real question is: will he smoke a cigar named after his sworn enemy? Stay tuned for the inevitable meltdown.
Now, let’s talk about what really matters—getting your hands on this thing. Lectin is available in just one size (because why complicate things?) 6 x 54 in boxes of 15 . You can grab a single for $15—because, you know, 15th anniversary, get it?—or get the full bright yellow (subtle, right?) box for $189.99, which magically saves you 15% (again, see what they did there?).
But wait! If you’re the kind of person who stockpiles cigars like canned goods before a hurricane, buying two boxes will drop the price to $9.99 per cigar and even get you free shipping. But act fast, because only 300 boxes exist, and once they’re gone, they’re gone (just like your ability to digest a bowl of lentils, according to Mr. Jonathan).
As for the actual cigar itself, Lectin sports an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, San Andrés binder, and a blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. On the official Strength-O-Meter™, it lands at a solid 6—strong enough to remind you that you’re smoking something special, but not so strong that you’ll regret it the next morning.
So, whether you love lectins, hate them, or just want to troll Mr. Jonathan, grab a Lectin cigar before they disappear forever. It’s the anniversary cigar you never knew you needed—but now, you definitely do.
Find Lectin Cigars at all Two Guys Smoke Shop locations in Salem, Seabrook, and Nashua, NH or 2GuysCigars.com while supplies last.
