what the wrapper usually brings

Aganorsa Leaf Signature Maduro uses a Nicaraguan Corojo '99 Maduro (shade-grown Jalapa, high priming) wrapper. Corojo wrappers tend toward red pepper, spice and a toasty, bready body. That is the leaf's general character, not a tasting note for this cigar.

How to smoke it

rules of thumb
  • Time: plan on about 1 h 5 min to 1 h 35 min for a 6.25-inch size.
  • When: A full-strength cigar is best after a full meal and never on an empty stomach; keep water nearby and slow down if you feel the nicotine.
  • Pair with: rye whiskey, a red wine, or black coffee.
  • Pace: about a puff a minute keeps it cool and lets the flavors change from third to third. Do not inhale.
  • Before lighting: cut just above the cap line, toast the foot evenly, and take a cold draw to check it.
