Not quite the Aganorsa corojo experience I was looking for. The profile starts off muted, eventually being sharp in pepper and minerals. This Aganorsa Leaf Guardian of the Farm Cerberus Lonsdale further confirms my overall feelings about recent Aganorsa offerings; i.e. they've deteriorated. The cigars either taste rushed and/or highly unbalanced. I'll still hold onto hope because I know how good Aganorsa tobaccos can be.
Aganorsa Leaf is excited to announce the highly acclaimed Aniversario Maduro will return this summer to the PCA. This year’s edition utilizes the same blend of 100% Aganorsa Leaf tobaccos wrapped in our proprietary Shade Grown Corojo Maduro cover leaf as previous years, but will be produced in three new vitolas.
Aganorsa Leaf has streamlined their core line Corojo, Maduro, Habano, and Connecticut brands under the new La Validación Series. Maintaining the same blends as the original releases, the four lines have been repackaged with more prominent Aganorsa Leaf branding, and the box counts and sizes have been standardized.
Overall, the flavor profile of the Aganorsa Leaf Stateline was average and didn't really capture my attention. It was just a core set of flavors that are pretty easy to find in any number of cigars on the market. It was nice getting a chance to try this exclusive, but isn't something I'd try to track down more of, that's if they are even still available.
Aganorsa Leaf is proud to announce the newest size of Supreme Leaf—one of our most exciting and sought-after cigars ever produced. Using the same blend of entirely Aganorsa Leaf tobaccos grown on our farms in Nicaragua and packed in the same vibrant colors as the original production, Supreme Leaf’s fifth release will appear in a box pressed 5x54 robusto vitola.
Aganorsa Leaf is proud to announce the core line Casa Fernandez Aniversario Corojo will be rebranded as Aganorsa Leaf Aniversario Corojo. Just as the Maduro version of Aniversario was repackaged this past summer, boxes and bands will also be updated to emphasize the Aganorsa Leaf logo and the Casa Fernandez name will be eliminated.
Aganorsa Leaf is pleased to announce a brand new edition of Guardian of the Farm: Cerberus. Named after the mythical three headed hound that stood watch at the gates of Hades, this exciting new Nicaraguan puro uses 100% Aganorsa Leaf tobacco and is wrapped in our new Corojo 2012 Cover Leaf.
The cigar was pretty pleasant in the first third, but lost some complexity in the second third. For this Aganorsa Leaf Rare Leaf Reserve Toro, it just didn't provide enough enjoyment through the entire smoking experience to make me want to come back to it with any regularity.
For the next major release celebrating its 50th Anniversary, JR Cigar is collaborating with legendary manufacturer Aganorsa – the result is a spin on the Aganorsa Lunatic.
The Aganorsa Leaf Casa Fernandez Aniversario Cuban 109 Maduro was a pleasant cigar experience, with the greatest complexity coming in the first third. Given the price point and the presentation of the cigar, I was expecting at least more complexity through the second third. I would smoke this cigar again, although I might sit on it for a few months in the faint hope that the profile improves through aging.
