Lure The Codfather — A 90th-Birthday Blend Reborn as a Double Toro. Only 4,000 Made.
Posted on October 19 2026
A cigar commissioned for a 90th birthday and smoked at a funeral is now getting a wider release. The Codfather returns in a new 6½ x 54 Double Toro, shipping late October.
Lure was founded by Lou Cross III around two things his father loved: fishing and cigars. The original small-batch figurado was ordered by Lou Cross Jr. for his own 90th birthday, but arrived after his passing and was shared by friends and family at his funeral.
