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.
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.
Utilizing select lots on our best farms that produce low yields of leaf unique in both flavor and aroma, Rare Leaf Reserve is made entirely of Aganorsa tobacco. A café cover leaf from Jalapa envelops a double binder and filler tobaccos of predominantly Criollo 98 with a just touch of Corojo 99.
The Aganorsa Leaf Supreme Leaf Robusto had a really good first third, a good second third and a fairly average last third. Flavors included baking spices, bread, red pepper flake, sweetness, cedar, creaminess and earth. I'll be smoking additional Supreme Leaf cigars because the overall experience was good and the first third was rich and complex.
This year’s edition is a 6.25 x 54 box-pressed 109 head maduro. Using one hundred percent Aganorsa Leaf tobaccos and covered in our proprietary Aganorsa Shade Grown Corojo Maduro wrapper, the entire production was rolled by a single torcedor in Miami without the use of a Lieberman machine. Like previous editions, only 250 boxes of 10 will be produced.
Lunatic Torch will be available in May for Aganorsa Select accounts and then open to all at PCA in three vitolas: Visionaries (6.5 x 52), Dreamlands (6.5 x 60), and Mad Folk (4.75 x 70). All are packaged in boxes of ten cigars.
The Aganorsa Leaf Connecticut Robusto is balanced and complex showing transition from start to finish. A flavorful cigar that is nicely priced and approachable by all smokers. Great smoke!
Aganorsa Leaf has worked with our retail partners at Stateline Cigar Lounge, located in Newark, Delaware, to create a delicious blend made entirely of Aganorsa tobacco. A beautiful Corojo '99 wrapper from Jalapa covers binder and filler tobaccos from our farms in Esteli, Jalapa and Condega to create a balanced, complex, flavorful blend that captures a distinct expression of our signature flavor and aroma.
Overall, the Aganorsa Leaf Signature Selection Maduro Robusto is a great cigar and an exciting release for the company. The cigar is rich and complex while showing balance and some transitioning throughout. The draw was perfect for the type of cigar that it is and the construction was spot on as well.
Aganorsa Leaf is proud to announce the latest expression of the company’s signature flavor and aroma: Supreme Leaf. A Corojo 99 dominant blend using all Aganorsa Leaf tobaccos, Supreme Leaf is a rich, dynamic Nicaraguan puro intended to excite the palate with a complex balance of mouthwatering sweetness and potent spice.
