La Aroma de Cuba roots date back to the late 1880s in Cuba, where the brand became an early favorite of Winston Churchill. In the midst of Cuba’s rebellion against years of Spanish conquest, Churchill arrived on the island in 1895 as an eager young lieutenant. There, the genesis of his brilliant military career and his avid passion for handmade cigars emerged. More than 120 years later, La Aroma de Cuba embraces an entirely fresh and prominent heritage in Nicaragua. Today, it is blended by legendary cigar-maker Jose ‘Pepin’ Garcia in Estelí, Nicaragua. Pepin’s foundation in Nicaragua is preceded by his extensive reputation in Cuba as a master blender. For decades, Pepin oversaw production of a number of Cuba’s most revered brands. Generations of meticulous cigar-making craft influence the unrivaled standards for flavor, aroma, and quality expressed in La Aroma de Cuba cigars.
Pasión is the Spanish word for Passion, and that’s precisely what makes this La Aroma de Cuba blend so special. It’s the attention to detail and quality that goes into this and every premium cigar made by the Garcias. Looking at the specs, this Nicaraguan puro is not that different from other cigars claiming to be a puro. But dig a little deeper and you’ll understand that passion of quality and unique flavor were the driving forces behind this blend. Every leaf of wrapper, binder, and filler harvested for Pasión undergoes a meticulous Triple Fermentation process by My Father Cigars. This full profile cigar includes tasting notes of cedar, leather, and earth, with hints of citrus, spice, molasses, and cashews. This is one of the finest La Aroma de Cuba releases to date.
