Leaf by Oscar

Island Jim

While manufactured by Oscar Valladares in his Danli, Honduras factory, it is Jim’s concept for the cigar that started it all. Speaking of its concept, though stratagem in nature, there is no denying the fact however, that the cigars are exceptional. Once a lowly merchant, now a famed cigar retailer and personality, post running the Leaf & Bean cigar shop in Pittsburgh, PA, Jim Robinson a.k.a. "Island Jim" partnered with Oscar Valladares to crank out some fine and fun cigars. Beginning as a small boutique project based out of Leaf and Bean, Jim’s tiny shop as forementioned, Leaf by Oscar began. Initially, whilst the release of Island Jim was not met with huge fanfare or garnered a ton of attention, it is still a cigar that, like the other offerings from Leaf by Oscar, is steeped in both intrigue and rarity. Meticulously designed to cater to every palate preference, Mr. Personality himself has chosen not to disclose any detailed information about the brilliant blend. What we do know is that it is quite unique and is comprised of an exquisite blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan Tobacco. Inventive, the cigar is striking in visuals and presented in a brawny 6.50 × 52 Torpedo. Wrapped in various shades, the oily Nicaraguan Jalapa tobacco leaf is well packed, lush with Honduran binders and fillers. Medium to full bodied in smoke, initial notes of wood are hinted by citrus. Quickly following, are pepper, chocolate and a hint of coffee. Rounding out the nuanced journey are strong espresso flavors as elements of earth come into play. So dynamic and multi-layered your customers will delight in the pleasing palate party its flavor profile offers. Not only is it charming in taste, the packaging and presentation is just as sensational, as are all other offerings from Leaf by Oscar. The loud banding and boxing this time are evocative of a fun tropical island theme solidifying its all-around engaging nature. A wonderful “flexible” smoke, this stick’s satisfying stature is a true anytime smoke. Your client base can look forward to pairing it with a cup of coffee in the morning, enjoying it on the deck of a sailboat under the sun with their favorite dark rum, or sparking one up on the beach during a long day of tanning.
