Next week, the Rare Leaf Reserve Maduro will begin shipping to stores.

It’s a new line from AGANORSA Leaf, a follow-up to the Rare Leaf Reserve, which was launched in 2021. While the original Rare Leaf Reserve is a Nicaraguan puro, the Rare Leaf Reserve Maduro uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over dual Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Estelí and Jalapa.

Rare Leaf Reserve Maduro is offered in three sizes:

  • AGANORSA Leaf Rare Leaf Reserve Maduro Toro (6 x 54) — $13.99 (Box of 15, $209.85)
  • AGANORSA Leaf Rare Leaf Reserve Maduro Belicoso (6 x 52) — $14.50 (Box of 15, $217.50)
  • AGANORSA Leaf Rare Leaf Reserve Maduro Robusto (5 1/4 x 52) — $13.50 (Box of 15, $202.50)

“When we launched Rare Leaf in 2021, the idea was to provide our retail partners who make the commitment to our Aganorsa Select Program with a special blend they would have exclusivity on,” said Terence Reilly, vp of sales and marketing, in a press release last month. “Due to the success of the original release and our Aganorsa Select retail partners’ enthusiasm for it, we are adding Rare Leaf Maduro, a truly powerful expression of Aganorsa tobacco and one I haven’t experienced before. This blend will make you sit up and pay attention while smoking or, as we say at Aganorsa, validating.”

This shipment of the Rare Leaf Reserve Maduro is only heading to retailers that are part of the AGANORSA Leaf Select Program.
