Ozgener Aramas

Ozgener Aramas A55 5 1/2 * 55, Box of 20

The Ozgener Aramas cigar was crafted as a tribute to legendary cigar crafter Cano Ozgener, founder of CAO cigars. According to Tim Ozgener, Cano’s son and founder of Ozgener Family Cigars, the cigar’s name is a reference to Mount Ararat, which is an inactive volcano located in Turkey but closely borders Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Iran. Ararat is the national symbol for Armenia, which is Tim’s ancestral homeland. It is referred to as Masis by Armenians. The cigar’s name is a combination of the words Ararat and Masis. Tim worked with another cigar legend Ernesto Perez-Carrillo of EPC Cigars to create the blend for the Aramas, which consists of a Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper, an Ecuadorian Habano binder, and a Nicaraguan, Dominican, and USA Connecticut Broadleaf filler. It is a well-balanced, medium-bodied cigar with a deep complexity and an excellent construction. To develop the blend, Ozgener collaborated with another cigar legend Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. The cigars are handmade at Ernesto’s Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic.

Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Mexican San Andres Maduro
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. San Andres Maduro is a thick, medium bodied dark leaf, also called San Andres Morron. Like Connecticut Broadleaf, San Andres Maduro is stalk cut and used for binder and wrapper.
Binder
Ecuador Sumatra
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Ecuador Sumatra tobacco is made from Sumatra-seeds that been cultivated in Ecuador, one of the most ideal locations for growing tobacco. The leaves tend to be dark and rich in flavor.
