A new Leaf by Oscar release called Leaf by Oscar Limited Edition 2018 is now available exclusively on Cigora. The never-before-released blend is handcrafted in Danli, Honduras at the Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Company factory and features a barber pole wrapper made with Mexican San Andrés and Honduran-grown Connecticut tobacco. The double wrapper crowns a Honduran binder and a selection of Honduran filler tobaccos, resulting in a rich and rewarding, medium-bodied cigar brimming with notes of cream, cinnamon, leather, earth and dark chocolate.

Oscar Valladares said, “I kept a special ‘Leaf by Oscar’ blend in aging for five years and always thought of its release as a way to introduce a completely new experience to the line. So when I had the chance to work with Cigora, I immediately knew the time was right to make this blend available. To create this small batch release, I layered a classic Honduran profile with the rich earthiness of San Andrés tobacco and the mellow creaminess of Honduran-grown Connecticut Shade. The blend offers the experience of two handcrafted cigars in one amazing, aged smoke and I’m extremely proud of how it well turned out.”
