August 2026 Platinum — At a Glance

What Is the Platinum Cigar Subscription?

The Platinum tier is one of Luxury Cigar Club's premium monthly cigar subscription levels, priced at $50.95 a month. It sits in the upper half of LCC's lineup — above the entry-level Core and value-focused Gold boxes, alongside Palladium, and below the higher-priced Sapphire and flagship Diamond tiers. If you want the full breakdown of how LCC's tiers compare, our cigar subscription guide lays out the pricing and positioning of every level.

August's Platinum box is built around five cigars that share real DNA with this month's Gold box — the Undercrown El Tigre, Mansión Primogenito, and Felipe Gregorio Aphrodisiac all appear in both — plus two Platinum-exclusive additions: a fifth-line release from boutique favorite Powstanie, and a bold new maduro from Cayman Cigar Company. It's a five-cigar lineup that rewards patience, with everything from an easygoing petit robusto to a full-bodied box-pressed toro.

The Full August 2026 Platinum Selection

Drew Estate Undercrown El Tigre — Toro (6'' × 50)

Undercrown El Tigre introduces a fresh chapter to the acclaimed Undercrown lineup with a Dominican-forward blend that highlights the richness of HVA and Criollo '98 tobaccos. Finished with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Connecticut Corojo H99 hybrid binder, it delivers refined notes of white pepper, espresso, cedar, earth, and subtle sweetness — medium-to-full in body with real construction and balance.

This one also opens this month's Gold box, and for good reason: it's the same well-built blend either way, and the LCC team clearly trusts it across tiers. At $13.92 per stick, it's an easy, reliable smoke to work through the rest of the box with a black coffee or a dark rum in hand.

Strength: Medium+ | Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatran | Binder: Connecticut Corojo H99 Hybrid | Filler: Dominican HVA, Criollo '98 | Size: Toro 6'' × 50 | Price: $13.92 per stick (sold in 5-packs)

Luxury Cigar Club Mansión Primogenito — Robusto (5½'' × 50)

Mansión Primogenito is an exclusive creation blended by master blender Hendrik Kelner Jr. specifically for Luxury Cigar Club — the same blender behind the Lampert line, covered in detail in our Lampert Cigars guide. An Ecuadorian Habano 2000 wrapper surrounds a balanced blend of Dominican and Mexican tobaccos, delivering refined notes of dark cocoa, cedar, cream, caramel, and gentle spice.

Medium-plus in body, it offers balance and evolving complexity that showcase the craftsmanship of one of the industry's most respected blenders. At $12.24 per stick, it remains one of the best values across both this month's Gold and Platinum boxes.

Strength: Medium+ | Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano 2000 | Binder: Dominican Corojo (Viso) | Filler: Mexican San Andrés Morrón, Dominican Criollo 98, Dominican Yamasá (Monte Plata), Dominican Corojo Original Seed | Size: Robusto 5½'' × 50 | Price: $12.24 per stick (sold in 5-packs)

Felipe Gregorio Aphrodisiac — Venus (5½'' × 54)

Felipe Gregorio Aphrodisiac is unlike anything else in the humidor, utilizing a distinctive aging process in cedar trunks infused with Bois Bandé, a Caribbean bark long celebrated for its aromatic qualities. The result is a medium-full bodied smoke layered with notes of cocoa, vanilla, warm baking spices, sweet cedar, and subtle earth, developing beautifully throughout the smoke into a rich, memorable finish.

At $24.24 per stick, it's the priciest cigar in August's Platinum box, but its unusual aging process and aromatic complexity make it worth the reach for smokers who want something they can't find anywhere else.

Strength: Medium+ | Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano HVA | Binder: Costa Rican | Filler: Nicaraguan Viso, Ligero, Corojo | Size: Venus 5½'' × 54 | Price: $24.24 per stick (sold in 5-packs)

Powstanie Sumatra — Petite Robusto (4¾'' × 50)

Powstanie Sumatra marks the arrival of the brand's fifth core line, reviving a fan-favorite blend with a refined new identity. Wrapped in Ecuadorian Sumatra Seed over dual binders from Mexico and Pennsylvania, with Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, it delivers layered notes of cedar, roasted nuts, baking spice, and black pepper, balanced by creamy sweetness.

Medium-plus in body, its balance and evolving complexity create a smooth, rewarding smoking experience from first light to the final draw — and the petit robusto format makes it one of the quicker smokes in this month's box. At $13.64 per stick, it's a great pick for a shorter afternoon break with a cup of coffee.

Strength: Medium+ | Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra Seed | Binder: Mexican, Pennsylvanian | Filler: Dominican, Nicaraguan | Size: Petite Robusto 4¾'' × 50 | Price: $13.64 per stick (sold in 5-packs)

Cayman Doubloon — Toro Box Pressed (6'' × 56)

Cayman Doubloon is the boldest expression in Cayman Cigar Company's core lineup, featuring a dark Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper over a rich Nicaraguan blend. Full-bodied and well crafted, it delivers notes of dark chocolate, espresso, earth, leather, and natural sweetness, complemented by a warm spice on the finish.

Its rich complexity and balance create a satisfying smoking experience with impressive depth and character — and at $11.22 per stick, it's also the best value in this month's Platinum box.

What Makes This Month's Box Stand Out

August's Platinum box pairs three cigars shared with this month's Gold box — Undercrown El Tigre, Mansión Primogenito, and Felipe Gregorio Aphrodisiac — with two Platinum-exclusive additions that push the range further. Powstanie Sumatra brings boutique pedigree in an easy petit robusto format, while Cayman Doubloon closes the box out with a full-bodied maduro punch. Five cigars, five different reasons to slow down.

If you're deciding between this month's Gold and Platinum boxes, the overlap is real — all three Gold cigars are also in Platinum. The difference comes down to the two extra cigars here and the higher overall stick count, which is exactly what the higher Platinum price is paying for.

What is a monthly cigar subscription?

How does the Platinum cigar subscription work?
Members on the Platinum tier receive five curated premium cigars shipped monthly for $50.95. The selection changes every month and is chosen by the LCC team for quality, variety, and value, often overlapping with — but expanding on — the same month's Gold selection.

Are the cigars from this box available to buy individually?
Yes — all five cigars in August's Platinum box, including the Drew Estate Undercrown El Tigre, Luxury Cigar Club Mansión Primogenito, Felipe Gregorio Aphrodisiac, Powstanie Sumatra, and Cayman Doubloon, are listed on our site individually.

What is the difference between the Platinum and Palladium cigar subscriptions?
Platinum ($50.95/month) and Palladium ($53.95/month) are neighboring premium tiers in LCC's lineup, both sitting above Gold and below Sapphire and the flagship Diamond tier. Both typically ship five cigars a month; the specific lineup and pricing differ month to month, so check each month's box for the exact selection.

The Verdict

The standout of August's Platinum box is the Luxury Cigar Club Mansión Primogenito — at $12.24 per stick, it's an LCC-exclusive blend from master blender Hendrik Kelner Jr., delivering refined cocoa and caramel complexity that outperforms its price point. For something bolder, the Cayman Doubloon at $11.22 per stick closes out the box with a full-bodied maduro punch that's just as good a value.
