LADC Noblesse - Bella09/19/2024
Anyone who knows me knows I’ve never met a La Aroma de Cuba I didn’t love, and Noblesse is no exception. I have fond memories of the original LE release a decade ago; I’m happy to say the switch to a San Andrés wrapper was a great choice. This is a must-have, and I highly recommend the Coronation (Toro).

LADC Noblesse - Kelly09/19/2024
If you asked me to sum up my thoughts on the Noblesse re-release, I could do it in one word: opulent. Given the San Andrés wrapper, there are these indulgent notes of chocolate and espresso, making for an ideal after-dinner experience. Pairs well with Maker’s Mark 46.

LADC Noblesse - Lindsay09/19/2024
Not many are willing to undergo a triple fermentation process on their tobaccos, and even when they do, there’s a risk involved. Thankfully, Pepín and his son, Jaime know what they’re doing. The richness in flavor and aroma with the re-released Noblesse is sublime. Rolled entubado style and finished with a Cuban triple cap, an old favorite is reborn.

LADC Noblesse - Oscar09/12/2024
Pepín has some trademark moves within his blends, and with La Aroma de Cuba Noblesse, the inclusion of a long-filler leaf from Namanji is one of them. Namanji is a relatively new region for tobacco, located less than 20 miles from Estelí, where the García family has been cultivating exceptionally flavorful crops from the rich black soil.

Made Man07/11/2024
Without a doubt, my favorite vitola in Made Man is M1911 A1. Coronas are classic and often utilized by blenders for testing purposes, so for me, it’s usually the best size in a line. The interplay between minerals, cedar, and a delightful floral bouquet make it suitable for any time; it’s attractive appearance and artwork are simply a bonus.

Made Man - Bella07/11/2024
After Terence Reilly offered employees an Aganorsa brand training, I began to deliberately seek out their cigars to put what I learned to the test. While there are tell-tale tastes to Aganorsa tobacco, with Made Man it feels more like a blending of styles to create the ultimate puro. Enjoy alongside a Glenfarclas and Ginger Beer on a warm night.

Made Man - Kelly07/11/2024
I go through phases where I smoke the same strength profile for a while, and then repeat the cycle with something different. While revisiting medium-bodied blends I was amazed at the complexity of Made Man… With each one I enjoy my palate discovers a new nuance I didn’t experience before, and that’s why it’s now in my regular rotation.

Made Man - Oscar07/11/2024
Made by Aganorsa and using their prized tobaccos, Made Man is the epitome of a Nicaraguan boutique blend. I was part of the Test Team for this cigar, and every single sample was top-notch, enjoyed by us all. I can easily enjoy these all-day long with my coffee, and the SMG 1928 Toro is my preferred pairing.

Aladino Corojo - Bella04/11/2024
If I could describe the Aladino Corojo in one word, it’s balance. Construction is top-notch, the flavor profile is rich and complex, but none of the notes overpower one another. I prefer the Toro size after a good meal with some bourbon as a nightcap. If you can retrohale, there are floral notes which become more present – delightful!

Aladino Corojo - Kelly04/11/2024
Fun fact: the Aladino name stems from a vintage movie theater in Danlí, Honduras, which was converted into state-of-the-art factory by the Eiroa family. It’s there that Aladino Corojo is made. You’ll notice that between the “A” on the band are the years 1947 and 1961, and that’s a nod to Cuban cigars of those years which this blend proudly recreates.
