Aganorsa Leaf: JFR Maduro Mi Favorito Cigars

Aganorsa tobacco is known throughout the industry for its quality and similarity to the iconic Cuban flavor and aroma. Based in Nicaragua, Aganorsa Leaf is a project by Eduardo Fernández and his son, Max, that started in 1998 when Eduardo traveled to Cuba and assembled a team of former Cubatabaco agronomists with the goal of replicating the profile of Cuban cigars, creating the specific leaf now known as Aganorsa tobacco.

When it comes to value, few brands can boast a better ratio between price and quality of flavor and construction than Aganorsa Leaf. Even still, though, the Nicaraguan brand recognizes that for those who enjoy multiple cigars on a daily basis, things add up quickly. The JFR line is Aganorsa's response: quality cigars offered at a fraction of the price, with the Maduro version presented here — a Nicaraguan puro wrapped in Aganorsa's signature Corojo leaf that's undergone a special fermentation process as a Maduro.
