5 | Cigar | Medium To Full, 54

Blended by the legendary Arsenio Ramos and made with tobaccos grown in the Jalapa Valley, Aganorsa Leaf portrays all the best features this rich region of Nicaragua has to offer. A solid core of coffee leads the way from the initial light that’s followed up with touches of cream and hints of spice. A perfectly balanced cigar that’s box-pressed and presented in a 15 count box, this new blend from Casa Fernandez is sure to please the palate.

Casa Fernandez is a brand that’s fairly new to the market but has made a definite impact in the short amount of time. The Arsenio was introduce at the annual cigar trade show and differentiates itself from the regular Casa Fernandez cigars with a slight addition of Ligero leaf in the filler. The addition of this leaf changes the original blend and creates a medium to full bodied cigar that covers the palate with flavors of sweet cedar, café con leche and a touch of spice.

"Attractive dark and oily. The smoke is rich and steely with notes of cedar, oil and black cherry. Medium to full bodied." August 03
