The Leaf Maduro represents Oscar Valladares's innovative approach to premium cigar presentation and craftsmanship. This well-balanced, medium-strength cigar delivers a spicy, earthy, coffee profile with a toasty aroma, featuring a savory Nicaraguan maduro wrapper that cloaks a Honduran binder and filler. The maduro wrapper provides a steadily changing profile with medium bodied feel, while familiar flavors of earth, molasses, and pepper with floral notes combine with the Maduro wrapper's punch of spice. What truly sets the Leaf Maduro apart is Oscar Valladares's signature presentation innovation. Instead of cellophane, the Leaf by Oscar Maduro is cloaked in an actual tobacco leaf, which you remove prior to lighting. The bands are made by a small Honduran company using the stems of tobacco leaves from Valladares' factory, which further adds to the depth of the name Leaf and the fact that this is a product that is 100 percent tobacco. This unique packaging reflects the brand's commitment to innovation while honoring traditional Honduran cigar-making heritage, with each cigar handmade in Honduras. The smoking experience delivers complex nuances of sweet tobacco, coffee, cedar, and subtle hints of spice that combine for a very satisfying smoke. The smoke becomes more leathery with natural sweetness escaping from the wrapper, while nuances of dried prunes and brown sugar make an appearance in the final third. This cigar appeals to both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers seeking rich, dark tobacco flavors in a medium to full-bodied profile.
