The Signature Maduro represents a milestone achievement for Aganorsa Leaf, featuring their first successfully grown and fermented Nicaraguan maduro wrapper after two decades of experimentation. This Nicaraguan puro utilizes a shade-grown Corojo '99 maduro wrapper from Jalapa, which undergoes an extended fermentation process to achieve its distinctive dark chocolate color and rich flavor profile. The blend incorporates rare medio tiempo leaf in the filler, a high-priming tobacco that occasionally sprouts atop select plants, prized for its intensity and complexity.
Crafted under the guidance of master Cuban agronomists including the legendary Arsenio Ramos, this cigar showcases Aganorsa Leaf's vertically integrated approach from seed to ash. The company's commitment to traditional Cuban growing methods using Cuban seed varietals in Nicaragua's premium tobacco regions results in a smoking experience that captures the essence of pre-revolution Cuban cigars. Each cigar is rolled at the Tabacos Valle de Jalapa (TABSA) factory, ensuring consistent quality and construction.
Reviewed as a full-bodied smoking experience, the Signature Maduro delivers complex flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, earth, and spice, with notes of oak and subtle sweetness. This limited production cigar appeals to experienced aficionados seeking a premium Nicaraguan puro that honors Cuban tobacco traditions while showcasing the unique terroir of Nicaragua's finest growing regions.
