The strength of the Corojo 99 leaf. Aganorsa Leaf cigars have an entire portfolio that displays the singularity of Nicaraguan tobacco. Using the specially grown Corojo 99, Criollo 98, and the Newly produced Corojo 2012 leaves, Aganorsa has created a much-coveted tobacco supply. Aganorsa is one of the biggest tobacco suppliers in the world, certainly in Nicaragua. The signature taste of the Corojo 99 leaf can be found in many companies, such as HVC cigars, Foundation Cigar, Black Star Line cigars, and many more. Why is this leaf so special? All one must do is try it. Whether it is the Aganorsa Leaf Torch, the Signature Selection natural, Guardian of the Farm, or the Aganorsa Leaf La Validacion Corojo, Aganorsa has created a dynamic and timeless flavor.
What makes the Corojo 99 leaf so special? CEO Terence Reilly stated the following: “Aganorsa Leaf is famous for our Cuban-seed Corojo 99 leaf. Every blend we make contains some Corojo 99, and as the only major growers of this varietal in Nicaragua, it is a crucial part of what gives us our signature taste. We have experimented with other Corojo variants, but until recently, we never found one that both met our standards for flavor and aroma and complemented our Corojo 99 and Criollo 98 varietals. That all changed with Corojo 2012. Corojo 2012 is not only flavorful and balanced in taste, but it also can be integrated into our blends to add additional complexity and finesse.” Not only is flavor a priority, but also consistency and quality. Terence also remarked, “At Aganorsa, Validation is the process we use to ensure quality and consistency and takes place from the fermentation stage all the way until we start shipping to retailers. In our distribution center in Miami, we perform the final validation test because, at this stage, the cigar should be entirely ready for market, and so every aspect, from the packaging to the blend itself, is reviewed. For instance, we look at the box to ensure it is correctly labeled and looks pristine. We examine the cigars to ensure they are of the right color and weigh the right amount.”
The Aganorsa Leaf La Validacion Corojo is one of the best representations of the Aganorsa flavor. Comprised of a beautiful Corojo 99 wrapper and filled with Nicaraguan tobacco from Aganorsa, the Aganorsa Leaf La Validacion Corojo offers a bevy of flavors from a bold spice, cedar, earth, cream, toasted nuts, and complimentary sweetness. Pair it with bourbon, pair it with coffee; this cigar is rich and complex, offering a special experience from a company rich in Cuban heritage and innovation.
