JFR by Aganorsa Leaf has been known as one of the best values in the premium cigar scene for some time; so it comes as no surprise that enthusiasts rejoiced when the company introduced the JFR Maduro, swapping the Corojo wrapper of the original for a dark Mexican maduro leaf.

Like most all cigars made by Aganorsa Leaf, JFR Maduro is primarily comprised of the company's prized Nicaraguan tobaccos, used throughout the binder and filler recipe. Being fully vertically integrated, Aganorsa is able to incorporate high-grade tobaccos while retaining the brand's famously affordable price points. The cigars are finalized by a dark Mexican San Andrés maduro leaf, giving the overall experience an edge of natural sweetness and a medium-plus body. Flavors verge on dessert-like, showing punchy characteristics of dark chocolate, espresso, bourbon-soaked oak, clove spice, and sweet cream on the finish.
