La Validacion was Aganorsa Leaf's statement that a farming company could make cigars as well as it grows tobacco — the validation of the name. The Corojo expression is the line's spice-forward release, built around Aganorsa's celebrated Corojo '99 wrapper.
The Blend
Corojo '99 is one of the most prized wrapper varietals in Nicaragua, and Aganorsa grows it on its own farms in Jalapa. Over Nicaraguan binder and filler from the same estates, it produces a cigar with the bright, peppery, slightly citric character that Corojo lovers seek out. Rolled at TABSA in Esteli by the same team responsible for the brand's top-tier releases.
Blend & Character
Wrapper: Aganorsa-grown Nicaraguan Corojo '99
Binder & filler: Aganorsa-grown Nicaraguan

What to Expect
The Corojo opens with a bright spice that mellows into wood and toasted grain, with the citrus note that defines good Corojo appearing on the retrohale. It's lively rather than heavy — a cigar with energy to it.
Who It's For
Corojo fans and anyone who wants Nicaraguan spice without the density of a Maduro. La Validacion also happens to be one of the strongest value plays in the Aganorsa catalog. Browse the available sizes below.
