There will be a new Connecticut-wrapped version of the AGANORSA Leaf Aniversario shipping to stores this summer.

The AGANORSA Leaf Aniversario Connecticut will debut at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which takes place July 8-11 in Las Vegas, before heading to stores in August. The blend uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a binder and fillers from Estelí and Jalapa, Nicaragua. Production is handled at Agricola Ganadera Norteña S.A. in Estelí, the same factory that makes the Aniversario Corojo and Maduro.

It will debut in two sizes:

  • AGANORSA Leaf Aniversario Connecticut Gran Robusto (5 x 54) — $14.50 (Box of 10, $145)
  • AGANORSA Leaf Aniversario Connecticut Toro (6 1/4 x 52) — $15.50 (Box of 10, $155)

“The Aniversario Series is our Ultra-Premium expression of Aganorsa,” said Terence Reilly, vp of sales and marketing at AGANORSA Leaf, in a press release. “Between the gorgeous presentation, the beauty of the Connecticut wrapper, and the quality of the blend, we feel Aniversario Connecticut will join the Corojo and Maduro editions and become one of our best sellers. We encourage our retail partners to make sure to attend PCA and stop by our booth to ensure they have access to this amazing cigar.”

AGANORSA Leaf says that the Aniversario Connecticut will only be sold this year at retailers that place orders during the PCA Convention & Trade Show or are AGANORSA Select Accounts, a retailer program the company has.
