The new line is called Mas Igneus, which comes from a Catalan expression meaning “house of ignition” and which is shared by a winery in the Priorat region of Spain. If the name sounds familiar, ACE Prime’s president and co-founder, Luciano Meirelles, is a partner in the winery along with Jerome and Ornella Valcke, and in November 2021, the trio announced they had created a wine to complement ACE Prime’s Luciano The Dreamer cigar.

Now, a cigar is being created to pair with a wine, and instead of simply offering a balanced flavor profile, the tobacco has been selected for its pH balance, which is a measure of how much acidity or alkalinity something has.

The Mas Igneus blend features a high priming, Ecuadorian corojo 98 wrapper, a Brazilian binder, and fillers from Nicaragua. The tobaccos in the filler were selected for offering a balanced pH level that is designed to not only create an outstanding cigar on its own, but one that is designed to be a perfect match for the “M” wine from the Mas Igneus winery. To do that, Meirelles and the ACE Prime team adapted a chemistry kit to help them select filler tobaccos that match the pH of the wine.

“We are thrilled with all of our joint projects,” Meirelles said in a press release. “Blending a cigar and winemaking are independently captivating processes, but to work jointly on this, it’s simply been a remarkable journey; searching for a balanced pH in the combined leaves was an interesting journey to say the least.”

But the pairing capability of the Mas Igneus blend is not limited to just that wine; Meirelles told halfwheel that it would be well complemented by other denser wines with higher tannin levels such as Malbecs, cabernet sauvignon, Grenaches, shiraz and Bordeaux. He described it as a very meaty cigar that is “almost a meal” when it comes to the density and texture of its smoke.

Mas Igneus will be offered in four vitolas, all of which are offered in 20-count boxes:
