Cigars Daily Gets AGANORSA Leaf Rare Leaf Reserve Daily Edition Connecticut

There’s a new Connecticut version of AGANORSA Leaf’s Rare Leaf Reserve, but it’s only offered at one store.

The AGANORSA Leaf Rare Leaf Reserve Daily Edition Connecticut is a new exclusive for Cigars Daily, a store in Phoenix. It was created by Terence Reilly, vp of sales and marketing for AGANORSA Leaf, and Tim Swanson, the founder of Cigars Daily. Blend-wise, it uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper over a blend of Nicaraguan corojo 99 and criollo 98 tobaccos grown by AGANORSA.

As of now, the Rare Leaf Reserve Daily Edition Connecticut is offered in a lone 6 x 54 toro vitola that is priced at $13.99 per cigar or $188.79 per box of 15.

“The Rare Leaf has always been a standout project for me. Aganorsa always nails it with consistency. But I found myself choosing my daily coffee-pairing cigars and wondering why there wasn’t a Rare Leaf Connecticut,” said Swanson in a press release. “When I asked Terence Reilly about it and he was willing to team up with me to bring this project to life, I was over the moon. Now, as we release it to the world, I get to bring the Rare Leaf experience into my mornings and start my day with the refined flavor I’ve wanted for a long time. My hope is that the cigar-smoking world will enjoy this project as much as I have.”

The Rare Leaf Reserve, which uses a darker wrapper grown in Jalapa, Nicaragua, debuted in 2021. It is a regular production line offered to retailers worldwide.
