The Leaf series of cigars is the brainchild of Pittsburgh retailer “Island” Jim Robinson and was conceived to be a house blend for his retail store. But as time goes by, plans change and the Leaf series is now distributed nationally. His thought with the brand was to have different blenders make a version of the Leaf and put their own unique spin on it. It’s a great concept that has seen blends created by Noel Rojas of Guyacan and Esteban Disla of RoMa Craft. The line achieved critical success when he partnered with his friend Oscar Valladeres for a Leaf series. It quickly became one of the most talked about cigars in the industry thanks to the rough leaf wrapping surrounding a superb, finished blend. Keeping the ball rolling, in 2018 Robinson turned to James Brown of Black Label Trading Co. to create the latest edition in the Leaf series.
Leaf continues it's legacy of home run blends with this brand-new banger that you have to try! True Cigar Aficionados know a single universal truth in the world of premium cigars: Experience matters. For Leaf by Omar, Island Jim Robinson enlisted the expertise of Cuban master blender Omar Gonzalez, an old pro who cut his premium cigar teeth running the Cuban Partagas and La Corona factories- And the man knows flavor! An Ecuador Habano wrapper and Pennsylvania Broadleaf binder sits atop an all-Nicaraguan cast of choice long-filler tobaccos to produce a sweet n’ spicy zest-fest that rings with notes of pepper, earth, caramel, and a floral finish. A hidden gem, but not for long!
