The Rare Leaf Reserve Toro embodies Aganorsa’s pursuit of flavor through agronomy, channeling the full potential of Nicaragua’s prized terroirs. The blend begins with a silky Criollo ’98 wrapper grown in Jalapa, setting the stage for a naturally sweet and spicy profile. Underneath, double Criollo ’98 binders from unique Estelí farms unite for a deep, layered structure. The filler blend—also predominantly Criollo ‘98 with a touch of Corojo ‘99—delivers a progressive spectrum of flavors, from vibrant cedar and graham cracker sweetness to cocoa, cinnamon, and soft leather.
Despite using limited tobaccos typically reserved for special editions, Aganorsa’s Rare Leaf Reserve remains a regular production cigar, thanks to exclusive distribution controls. Each Toro is handmade with TABSA’s signature attention to detail, resulting in immaculate construction, a smooth draw, and a razor-straight burn. The flavor progression is expertly balanced, featuring the hallmark Aganorsa sweetness, pops of pepper, and a creamy, long finish.
Perfect for seasoned aficionados and adventurous enthusiasts alike, the Rare Leaf Reserve Toro turns everyday moments into special occasions by elevating the ordinary to the extraordinary through its rare, expressive tobacco blend.
