Aganorsa Leaf is heading into the PCA trade show with three new cigars in tow, and if you follow Nicaraguan tobacco at all, this is worth paying attention to. The company — both a cigar maker and a tobacco grower with its own farms in Nicaragua — is expanding two of its existing lines with releases that cover different ends of the market.
The Supreme Leaf Gets Two New Sizes
The centerpiece of the announcement is a pair of additions to the Supreme Leaf line, which has built a quiet reputation since its debut in 2019. Supreme Leaf is a limited-edition annual series, and every stick in it comes entirely from tobacco grown on Aganorsa's own Nicaraguan farms — including the Corojo '99 wrapper, which is the kind of detail that matters to serious smokers. The cigars are rolled at the Aganorsa factory in Nicaragua, so from seed to final product, the supply chain stays in-house.
Since the line launched, ten different sizes have made their way to American shelves on a rotating basis. This year's additions are the Inter Robusto, measuring 5 1/4 inches with a 54 ring gauge, and the Euro Toro, coming in at 6 by 50. Neither of these are completely new creations — both were originally produced for international markets in 2024, so overseas smokers already had the first crack at them. Now they're making their official U.S. debut.
Limited Numbers, Permanent International Status
Pricing lands at $11.99 for the Inter Robusto and $12.99 for the Euro Toro. Those are reasonable numbers for a limited-edition, estate-grown Nicaraguan cigar with a Corojo wrapper. The catch is availability: only 1,000 boxes of each size have been made for the U.S. market, with each box holding 10 cigars. Once they're gone, that's it stateside — though both sizes will continue in regular production for international distribution.
That kind of scarcity tends to move product fast among collectors and Aganorsa regulars, and with only 10,000 sticks of each size heading to American retailers, there won't be much room to sit on the decision.
Aniversario Connecticut Gets Its First Tube
The third release is a different kind of move. Aganorsa is adding a new size to its Aniversario Connecticut line called the Tubo, which brings that lineup to three cigars total. It's a 6 by 52 vitola, and it comes packaged in an aluminum tube — the only size in the entire Aniversario Connecticut lineup to get that treatment.
The Blend and the Packaging
The Aniversario Connecticut blend is built around Nicaraguan tobacco throughout, with the one exception being the wrapper, which comes from Ecuador and carries the smooth, lighter character that Connecticut-shade leaf is known for. It's a profile that tends to appeal to smokers who want complexity without the heavier body that full Nicaraguan blends deliver.
The aluminum tube makes this one practical in a way the other sizes aren't. It protects the cigar during travel, fits easily in a jacket pocket or a bag, and keeps things fresh without needing to carry a full case. At $19.99 per cigar with boxes of 10, it's priced at a premium over the Supreme Leaf additions, which reflects both the blend and the packaging.
What to Expect at PCA and After
All three cigars are set to be on display at the PCA trade show, and Aganorsa has confirmed that shipping will begin directly after the show wraps. That means retail availability should follow relatively quickly for anyone who doesn't attend the trade event itself.
For longtime Aganorsa followers, the Supreme Leaf additions are the obvious highlight — estate-grown, limited production, and a line with a proven track record over six years and ten sizes. For someone looking for a more approachable everyday smoke with practical packaging, the Aniversario Connecticut Tubo fills a real gap in that lineup.
Either way, Aganorsa Leaf is showing up to the trade show with something concrete to offer, and for anyone who takes Nicaraguan tobacco seriously, all three of these are worth tracking down before the limited allocations disappear.
