Rodriguez Cigars
Series 1984 Maduro

The Rodriguez Series 84 Maduro is a heartfelt tribute to the founding of the Rodriguez Cigar Factory in 1984, marking the beginning of what has become the oldest cigar maker in the Florida Keys. Crafted in Key West, the Series 84 Maduro embodies both tradition and innovation. It features a richly textured, oily Habano maduro wrapper that has been aged—often in cedar—to enhance depth and complexity. Beneath, a double binder made from Ecuadorian and Nicaraguan tobaccos holds together a carefully selected Nicaraguan filler blend. Designed by Angel Rodriguez, this cigar reflects generations of expertise and the brand’s dedication to quality, rewarded by artisanal, hand-rolled construction. The Series 84 Maduro speaks to a legacy of craftsmanship and local heritage, offering a robust experience that honors its roots while demonstrating a commitment to excellence—a genuine celebration of the Rodriguez family's cigarmaking journey.

Stogie Press

The Rodriguez Cigars Series 84 is a most delightful full flavor stogie that burns incredibly well and a presents early flavors of pepper and spice with an earthy background that transitions into some dry leather notes and then a delectable coffee and dry cocoa powder flavor.  The second half offers notes of licorice and espresso that reminds me of an Italian Espresso with Sambuca.  The Series 84 Maduro finishes with an increased spice and pepper note. If you like a bitter cigar – this is not it.

Cigar Score

I found the Rodriguez Series 84 Maduro Torpedo to be a very pleasant surprise. Other than the crack in the wrapper, this cigar had great construction. Regarding the flavors, I was also surprised at how well this cigar pairs with coffee, after every puff, I could really taste the chocolate notes in my Pinon Coffee. My main complaint about this cigar is that it didn't last long enough. You should be able to enjoy a cigar of this size for about 90 minutes, but this cigar only lasted for about 60. I wish I'd been able to smoke it for longer. A great cigar with wonderful flavors and an enjoyable experience.
