Aganorsa Leaf Aniversario Cigars

Aganorsa Leaf occupies an unusual position in the cigar world: it is a farming company first. Agricola Ganadera Nortena S.A. grows some of the most sought-after tobacco in Nicaragua and supplies leaf to many of the industry's best-known brands. The Aniversario line is what happens when a grower of that caliber keeps the best of its own harvest.

The Line

Aniversario is built from Aganorsa's premium Corojo '99 and Criollo '98 tobaccos grown on the company's own farms in Jalapa and Esteli, then rolled at the TABSA factory. Because Aganorsa controls the leaf from seed to roller, the blend uses priming selections that most manufacturers simply can't buy — and it shows in the depth of the smoke.

Blend & Character

• Wrapper: Aganorsa-grown Nicaraguan Corojo '99
• Binder & filler: Aganorsa-grown Nicaraguan
• Origin: Handmade at TABSA, Esteli, Nicaragua
• Body: Full
• Flavor notes: Black pepper, espresso, cedar, leather, and a bright citrus edge on the retrohale

What to Expect

Aniversario is a true Nicaraguan puro and smokes like one — assertive from the first third, with the classic Aganorsa pepper-and-citrus signature running throughout. Construction is excellent and the burn line stays sharp. Give it ninety minutes and something to eat beforehand.
