I was looking forward to trying this new 2022 version of the Aganorsa Supreme Leaf in Box-Pressed Robusto (2022) by AGANORSA Leaf. Let’s see if the only difference is the Perejo version vs. this new 2022 Box-Pressed version.
Once lit… this is not the same as I remembered… Instead of the lusciously creamy smooth tobacco flavors, I was anticipating, I was greeted with “dry” tobacco flavors of earthy cocoa, leather, and white pepper with white pepper on the retrohale.
Although “close” to what my memory conjures and my notes reveal, missing were a few other subtle tobacco notes that I was looking forward to… Oh well, if not today, then another time. It’s a good thing I usually purchase two of each new cigar I try… so I can rest and marinate it in the TupperDor to smoke later for comparison.
Stay Tuned…
