Leaf by Oscar: Blends and Tasting Notes

As earlier alluded to,  Leaf by Oscar now has four variations. You have Connecticut, Maduro, Sumatra, and Corojo. They all come in these popular sizes namely Robusto (4×50), Toro (6×52), Sixty (6×60), Torpedo (6.5×52), and Lancero (7×48) vitolas.

The Lancero came in after about 3 years of distribution. So, what are they like?

Sumatra

Leaf by Oscar Sumatra is the perfect any time cigar if you’ve wondering about what to smoke any time of the day. It’s a delicately balanced medium smoke flaunting a superlative Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper atop Honduran fillers and binder.

Sweet notes of a barnyard in summer hit you the moment you remove the leaf dress. Upon lighting, delightful citrus notes, grass, and earth take over. Down the lane coffee, milk chocolate, and white pepper make their presence known.

Leaf by Oscar Sumatra is very well “controlled” for lack of a better word-can you imagine. Many call it balanced but I think it’s beyond balance, it’s more of holding the reins. The evidence is in how it performed. It grabbed the 17th slot in the Best 25 of 2017 by Cigar Snob and a 93 rating from Cigar Authority the same year.
