Aganorsa Leaf, the vertically integrated powerhouse founded by Eduardo Fernández, grows its own world-class Nicaraguan tobacco and rolls every cigar with a Cuban-style passion for flavor and precision. Their La Validación Habano showcases that ethos brilliantly: an Ecuador-habano–wrapped puro brimming with Aganorsa’s signature Corojo ’99 and Criollo ’98 leaves, it lights up with lively cedar, pepper, leather, smoked hickory, and a touch of dried fruit before cruising into a sweet-spice finish. Each stick is “validated” by extra-rigorous quality checks, and critics have taken notice—Cigar Aficionado stamped the toro with a 90 rating. If you want a vivid taste of what makes Aganorsa Leaf such a force in boutique cigars, this blend delivers in spades!
