Aganorsa Leaf

Aganorsa Leaf cigars are made by Aganorsa, one of Nicaragua's largest tobacco growers. The company grows its own tobacco on farms in Jalapa, Estelí and Condega and rolls its cigars at its own factory in Estelí.

Aganorsa is known for its Corojo 99 and Criollo 98 tobacco, grown from seeds descended from Cuban varieties. Because Aganorsa controls every step from seed to finished cigar, its blends are consistent and full of flavor.

Popular lines include Aniversario (in Connecticut, Corojo and Maduro wrappers), Supreme Leaf, Guardian of the Farm, Rare Leaf, La Validación and Arsenio. Each one shows a different side of Aganorsa's tobacco, from creamy and mellow to bold and spicy.

Most Aganorsa Leaf cigars are medium to full bodied. The Aniversario Connecticut is the mildest, while Guardian of the Farm and Rare Leaf are richer and spicier.

Keep cigars in a humidor at around 65–70% humidity and 65–70°F. Cigars that dry out burn hot and taste harsh, and too much humidity causes uneven burns and mold. If you don't have a humidor yet, an airtight container with a two-way humidity pack works well for a few weeks.
