    Not many are willing to undergo a triple fermentation process on their tobaccos, and even when they do, there’s a risk involved. Thankfully, Pepín and his son, Jaime know what they’re doing. The richness in flavor and aroma with the re-released Noblesse is sublime. Rolled entubado style and finished with a Cuban triple cap, an old favorite is reborn.

    If you asked me to sum up my thoughts on the Noblesse re-release, I could do it in one word: opulent. Given the San Andrés wrapper, there are these indulgent notes of chocolate and espresso, making for an ideal after-dinner experience. Pairs well with Maker’s Mark 46.

    Anyone who knows me knows I’ve never met a La Aroma de Cuba I didn’t love, and Noblesse is no exception. I have fond memories of the original LE release a decade ago; I’m happy to say the switch to a San Andrés wrapper was a great choice. This is a must-have, and I highly recommend the Coronation (Toro).

    Pepín has some trademark moves within his blends, and with La Aroma de Cuba Noblesse, the inclusion of a long-filler leaf from Namanji is one of them. Namanji is a relatively new region for tobacco, located less than 20 miles from Estelí, where the García family has been cultivating exceptionally flavorful crops from the rich black soil.

    Without a doubt, my favorite vitola in Made Man is M1911 A1. Coronas are classic and often utilized by blenders for testing purposes, so for me, it’s usually the best size in a line. The interplay between minerals, cedar, and a delightful floral bouquet make it suitable for any time; it’s attractive appearance and artwork are simply a bonus.

    Made by Aganorsa and using their prized tobaccos, Made Man is the epitome of a Nicaraguan boutique blend. I was part of the Test Team for this cigar, and every single sample was top-notch, enjoyed by us all. I can easily enjoy these all-day long with my coffee, and the SMG 1928 Toro is my preferred pairing.
