The La Validación Habano represents Aganorsa Leaf's commitment to authentic Nicaraguan cigar craftsmanship, delivering a medium-full bodied smoking experience. Wrapped in a flavorful Ecuadorian Habano wrapper brimming with notes of cedar, pepper, and leather, this cigar showcases notes of spice, cedar, black pepper, milk chocolate, and leather that develop throughout the smoking experience. The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper introduces classic cedar and pepper that transitions into leather, roasted nuts, and creamy spice. Mid-smoke deepens into almond and dried fruit framed within a gentle hickory sweetness. The finish is clean, layered, and carries a touch of gingersnap warmth. As part of Aganorsa Leaf's core La Validación Series, this cigar embodies the company's vertically integrated approach to tobacco production, utilizing Nicaraguan long-fillers along with its Nicaraguan binder. The blend features Corojo and Criollo 98 tobacco sourced from Aganorsa's own farms in Nicaragua, reflecting the company's commitment to controlling the entire production process from seed to ash. In May 2022 it was announced that Aganorsa Leaf would rebrand their core lines to La Validacion Series. All the lines would become uniform in sizes including a 5 x 54 Gran Robusto, a 6 1/4 x 52 Toro, and a 6 x 58 Gran Toro. La Validación is the quintessential Nicaraguan cigar, a perfect cigar to pair with your favorite brown spirit after a heavy meal. In keeping with the original versions, all sizes will be box-pressed with the exception of the Habano, which will continue to be rolled as round parejos. This cigar demonstrates Aganorsa's expertise in Cuban-style tobacco growing techniques and represents their philosophy of creating authentic, high-quality smoking experiences that capture traditional Nicaraguan character.
