Aganorsa Leaf: Aniversario Connecticut Gran Robusto 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.

The Aniversario cigar was originally an annual, limited-production release bunched and rolled by hand in Aganorsa Leaf's boutique Miami factory, and in 2022, it joined the tabacalera's regular-production lineup. Now produced in Aganorsa's Estelí-based Agricola Ganadera Norteña S.A., the Aniversario Connecticut cigar is a softly box-pressed combination of Nicaraguan binder and filler tobacco covered by an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper.
