AGANORSA Leaf

Arsenio Ramos was the definition of a “tobacco man,” having spent some 40 years working in Cuba’s tobacco industry before leaving the island to join Eduardo Fernández and the company that would become AGANORSA Leaf. While he passed away in 2018 at the age of 83, his name and his legend live on with a new cigar line released in the summer of 2024.

Time to find out how six years in a humidor has treated this cigar.

The first shipment of the 6 x 54 Perfecto was limited to 15,000 cigars packaged in 10-count boxes.

Four years of rest seems to have delivered the cigar I was looking for back in 2020.

This is the flagship Connecticut wrapper option for AGANORSA Leaf.

Earlier this year, AGANORSA Leaf gave its Rare Leaf line a makeover and a new size, this 6 x 44 lonsdale.

The follow-up to AGANORSA Leaf’s Rare Leaf Reserve line that debuted in 2021 is made with a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, dual Nicaraguan binders and filler tobaccos grown in the Estelí and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua.

It’s a 6 1/2 x 60 with an MSRP of $9.99.

I was impressed with my first experience smoking the AGANORSA Leaf Aniversario Maduro Toro 15 months ago, but there was still room for improvement.

It’s the second toro for the line, but the first round vitola.

The AGANORSA Leaf Aniversario Maduro Gran Robusto is one of the three sizes that the company is releasing after moving to a regular production line.
