This medium-bodied Nicaraguan puro showcases Cuban-seed Criollo '98 tobaccos that are dominant in the blend and bursting with spice, earth and a touch of sweetness, utilizing tobaccos selected from special lots on Aganorsa's best farms. The blend features a café-colored corojo wrapper from Jalapa, a double binder of criollo '98 grown on two different farms, while the filler is predominantly criollo '98 but has some corojo '99 as well, creating fine-tuned complexities consisting of nougat, buttered nuts, graham cracker, and cinnamon. Aganorsa Leaf represents the pinnacle of vertically integrated Nicaraguan cigar production, controlling every aspect from seed to ash using traditional Cuban-style growing techniques and Cuban seed varietals. Normally a cigar using such scarce leaf would be available for a limited time only, but by granting access exclusively to Aganorsa Select Retail Partners, they are able to supply Rare Leaf all year long, though the cigars are rolled in very small batches due to the limited supply of these premium tobaccos. Crafted at the company's TABSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, this blend represents an approachable introduction to the Aganorsa portfolio while maintaining the distinctive characteristics that have earned the brand recognition among premium cigar enthusiasts. The Rare Leaf Reserve delivers the authentic Cuban-style flavor profile that Aganorsa has become renowned for, positioning it as an exceptional value in the premium cigar market.
