New Cuba Superior Connecticut

Aganorsa’s New Cuba cigar line has long held the position of being a good everyday smoke at a wallet-pleasing price. The New Cuba Superior Connecticut is the line’s premium version. The cigar is stuffed with Nicaraguan long-filler leaves covered by a Nicaraguan Cuban-seed binder, and dressed in a smooth, golden-hued Ecuadorian Connecticut-Shade wrapper. The Nicaraguan tobaccos are grown in farms owned and operated by Aganorsa Leaf in three of Nicaragua’s top-tobacco producing regions: Condega, Esteli, and Jalapa. Aganorsa Leaf is known for producing bold, potent cigars. The New Cuba Superior Connecticut offers a milder smoking indulgence that will appeal to the aficionado who likes to take things on the mild side or the full-strength smoker who is looking for a change of pace.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Wrapper Color
Claro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Claro wrapper is light, yellowish brown in color.
Wrapper
Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.
Binder
Nicaragua
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
Cuban Seed
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Cuban seed tobacco comes from seeds that originated in Cuba but are grown in other countries. The tobacco is used in binders as well as wrappers.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
Aganorsa
Aganorsa Leaf (formerly known as Casa Fernandez) is one of Central America's largest tobacco growers. Their factory, Tabacalera Tropical, is located in Esteli, Nicaragua and employs hundreds of cigar rollers.
