Rare Leaf Reserve Toro by Aganorsa Leaf

Aganorsa Leaf’s company motto is “Our Leaf Is Our Strength.” For the better part of the last two decades, the company has focused on its tobacco growing by perfecting their process and defining what they deem as their signature tobaccos. These signature tobaccos mainly fall into the Corojo and Criollo varieties, but they are known for growing some of the most Cuban-like tobaccos in the world at their Aganorsa farms in Nicaragua. These special tobaccos are known for their aroma and flavor, and are used in some of the best brands on the market. Aganorsa’s pursuit of becoming even better lead them to experiment with small crop tobaccos. They want to cement their reputation of growing the finest Cuban-style tobaccos in the world. To honor that pursuit, they blended a cigar using these small crop production tobaccos and will release it in limited quantities as Rare Leaf Reserve by Aganorsa.

The Rarer Leaf Reserve was not designed to be a one and done limited edition line. The focus was to create a limited production cigar that would be available as the tobaccos allowed. The concept was to showcase their Criollo tobaccos as they poses a distinct flavor and smoking profile. The blend begins with Corojo 99 & Criollo 98 filler tobaccos along with a double binder consisting of two types of Criollo 98 grown on different farms. Topping the blend is a Jalapa-grown Nicaragua wrapper that has a beautiful reddish-brown color. It’s a masterpiece blend that truly showcases their pride in their tobaccos and their blending skills Tasting notes include earth, cedar pepper, and cream with hints of vanilla, espresso, citrus, and nuts. The Rare Leaf Reserve is a wonderfully complex cigar!
