All I can say after today’s smoking experience with this Aganorsa Leaf Habano in Robusto Aganorsa Leaf is that I’m glad I have a couple more of these in the TupperDor! Maybe I should be on the lookout to purchase more of these!

Through a perfect draw with a razor-sharp burn, I’m getting earthy cedar, coffee, and subtle notes of cocoa with a decent zingy pepper spice on the retrohale. I’m thinking to myself… what more could I want from this Aganorsa Leaf Habano.

At the halfway point and had to remind myself to write this down… I was enjoying myself so much that I got lost in the creamy smooth earthy leather tobacco flavors this cigar is delivering now… just how like it! The pepper spice on the retrohale is a perfect compliment.

The end… the final third… Ohhh, that was good! I want more!

Smoke time 90 minutes.

A snip and cut and my cold draw starts to deliver earthy chocolate. I’m enjoying these first impressions of a cigar via the cold draw, but I’m also learning that these seldom translate in the smoke, but an overall important component to the experience in my opinion.

It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for anything with Corojo (99) and Criollo (98) in the filler … this Aganorsa Leaf Habano is no different.

Once lit, my first third provided a smooth and balanced smoky ride of earthy tobacco and coffee and mild cocoa flavors. This is nice for my first time with this repackaged cigar from Aganorsa Leaf Tobacco Company.

The second third starts where the first third left off without any transitions that I could detect… until… Halfway thru, balanced earthy tobacco ramp up with black coffee, almost bitter (astringent), maybe I was puffing to aggressively. My burn is razor sharp with no burn issues or touch ups necessary. Dull black pepper resides with my retrohale.

Did leather just show up to the party?

Anyway, for my first time with the Aganorsa Leaf Habano cigar, it was a perfectly enjoyable experience. I smoked all the way to the nub before I was willing to put this delicious cigar down and I’m glad I have another to try in a few weeks for my final verdict. So far, so good!
