The Aganorsa Leaf Aniversario Corojo is the rebranded version of what was known as the Casa Fernandez Aniversario. Except for the name change, the blend remains the same: a Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper over Nicaraguan binders and fillers.
The cigars are sold in 10 count boxes, and they are made at the small factory located at the company’s headquarters in Miami, Florida.
Once the paper covering most of the cigar is removed, a Colorado Maduro-colored wrapper is revealed that is smooth to the touch. There are only a few veins present. Construction is uniform, and the cigar is slightly box-pressed.

Aganorsa Leaf Aniversario Corojo Toro: the cold draw brings a few light vegetal nuances to the palate, with a bit of spice on the lips. Once lit, the cigar opens with leather, spice, and a subtle sweetness.
The leather and spice, mainly white pepper, carry over into the first third, joined by wood notes, hazelnut, and a hint of cream. Strength is at a solid medium (3/5).
The hazelnut note moves to the front, next to the leather and white pepper in the second third. The wood is still present in the background and joined by a herbal aroma, and the strength is still medium (3/5). The flavor intensity drops slightly in this third.
The herbal notes have joined the foreground in the last third, next to leather and white pepper. The hazelnut and wood remain present in the background. The profile has picked up in intensity again, and the final becomes spicy. The strength is now medium-full (4/5).
Overall, the Aganorsa Leaf Aniversario Corojo Toro is a balanced and flavorful smoke. The profile is structured and round, but evolution-wise, there is not much going on, and the smoke is relatively static, especially in the second third, where the intensity drops.
