Aganorsa Leaf is adding a line to its JFR Lunatic series: JFR Lunatic Loco. JFR stands for Just for Retailers and has been around since 2011. The Lunatic line was added in 2015.
Aganorsa Leaf is launching three new products at TPE at the end of this month: two new vitolas of Lunatic Maduro and JFR Fresh Packs.
AGANORSA Leaf introduces the Supreme Leaf Gran Robusto, a Nicaraguan puro exclusive to Wooden Indian Tobacco for its 60th anniversary. Limited to 500 boxes, this special edition emphasizes quality and partnership, available solely through Wooden Indian's retail channels.
Aganorsa Leaf is rebranding their core lines Corojo, Maduro, Habano, and Connecticut in the new La Validación Series. The blends for the cigars remain unchanged but they have been repackaged with more prominent Aganorsa Leaf branding, and the box counts and sizes have been standardized. All four lines will now be comes in 15-count and be offered in the same three vitolas: Gran Robusto 5 x 54, Toro 6.25 x 52, and Gran Toro 6 x 58. In keeping with the original versions, all sizes will be box pressed with the exception of the Habano, which will continue to be rolled as round parejos.
The Quesada Family has announced the release of the Casa Magna Jalapa Claro, a Special Edition to their award winning Casa Magna brand. Made at the Plasencia factory in Nicaragua, the Jalapa Claro consists of the same award winning blend as their Casa Magna Colorado but uses a lighter Claro wrapper from Jalapa, creating a sweeter, more medium bodied full flavored blend. 500 boxes of three sizes of this Special Edition will be made and available only to attendees of the IPCPR show this July.
The Oktoberfest by Quesada Cigars is making a return for 2014. While the blend will remain the same, but as usual will feature a different vintage crop. The big change will be that the cigars will feature a new band. The company is also adding a Salomon Press vitola that will be made available at events only. The cigars are expected to be showcased at the 2014 IPCPR Trade Show.
Last year, Cigar Dojo and Aganorsa Leaf' collaborated on ReviveR, which scored a 92 in our blind review and ended up on our Top 25 cigars of the year. Now, this year, they have collaborated again on a new project, Bonsai.
For the first time in five years, Aganorsa Leaf is adding a new size to the original JFR line: Mi Favorito. The new size measures 5 x 70 and, like the rest of the line, has a thick pigtail. Mi Favorito will be offered in both the Corojo and Maduro blends.
After more than eight years with Quesada Cigars, Terence Reilly has turned in his resignation. Tomorrow, October 31st 2017, is his last day. Reilly was not only Quesada’s national sales manager, he is a member of the Quesada family and was instrumental in leading creative projects for Quesada Oktoberfest, Heisenberg, Domus Magnus and Fonseca Nicaragua.
Aganorsa Leaf Habano, formerly known as the Aganorsa Leaf Tabsa Habano, is now shipping with updated packaging and bands. The redesign reflects updated designs for the Corojo, Maduro, and Connecticut lines of the Aganorsa Leaf series which were repackaged last year.
