Aganorsa Leaf is well known as a very significant tobacco leaf supplier to many great cigar companies but will soon be as well known for their newest branded cigar lineup. Terence Reilly, the VP Sales for Aganorsa Leaf Cigars held a very educational and entertaining session, called the Aganorsa Experience at Stogies in early June. Aganorsa Leaf grows two seed varietals on their estate. The Corojo 99 and Criollo 98 varietals are very different in their own right. Terence provided us each with a small taste of each leaf rolled solely by itself in a rough twig shaped cigar. The Corojo 99 has a subtle, sweet, and nutty flavor while the Criollo has a more distinctive earthy profile. However, when Terence had his audience put them both in their mouth at the same time and draw the smoke together, the combination was more distinguishing and complex than either by themselves. Aganorsa Leaf cigars blended each of their brands with various combinations of each varietal, giving each cigar a completely different flavor profile. Such is the experience of tasting their many fine cigar blends. You cannot help but find one or two that you will find enjoyable.
