Aganorsa Leaf Rare Leaf Reserve Maduro Belicoso: the cold draw reveals aromas of clean tobacco. Once lit, the cigar opens with a mix of bread, cocoa, and roasted coffee.
Further into the first third, nutty notes are added to the bread, cocoa, and roasted coffee. The smoke is creamy, and the strength is a solid medium (3/5)
Herbal aromas are added in the second half. The strength remains unchanged.
A spicy note rounds out the flavor profile in the last third, while the strength remains medium-bodied.
Overall, the Aganorsa Leaf Rare Leaf Reserve Maduro Belicoso is a straightforward cigar. The flavor profile is consistent throughout the smoke. While that isn’t inherently bad, it makes for a bit of a one-dimensional experience.
