The Oscar

Habano

Oscar Valladares is one of the most renown blenders and talented cigar makers in the industry. Not only does his clever one-of-kind packaging set his brands apart from the competition, but his series of spectacular blends are cut above and explosive every time they enter into the market. Producing high quality cigars in Danli, Honduras since 2012, Oscar Valladares Tobacco was founded by a talented trio of industry vets Oscar Valladares, Hector Valladares and Bayron Duarte. Responsible for an array of premium and unique blends, their collective portfolio is considerably outstanding featuring handmade offerings full in flavor and intricacy including the bestselling Leaf by Oscar, Oscar Valladares 2012 and Oscar Valladares Ciseron Edition. Crafting such caliber at an immense propensity, it safe to assume that this is just the beginning for creators at Oscar Valladares Tobacco. Full of ambition and forever in pursuit of finding the perfect blend, Valladares is not one to settle with his already more than impressive line-up. So, after defying all odds and expectations with Leaf by Oscar it’s only right that he followed up on the momentum with a second release. Rounding out the impressive selection is another worthy addition, the Oscar Habano, which is also made by Oscar Valladares, however it is solely owned by Valladares. Not to be confused with Leaf by Oscar, the series boasts an 87-rating by Cigar Aficionado, is well received and highly rated by some of the biggest names in the industry. Savory and solid in nature, its a testament to exquisite craftmanship and is handmade by a team of expert rollers in Honduras. Drawing intrigue and likely the first thing one will notice especially against its dark rich wrapper, is a green Candela leaf that is used as an overwrap to encase the lower half of each stick protecting and preserving its oils. Completely different from its predecessor, the framework consists of a lustrous primo Ecuadorian Habano wrapper atop a well-aged Honduran and Nicaraguan core of fillers that’s held together with a Honduran binder. Presented to the palate is a rich chocolatey taste delighting the tastebuds followed by notes of baking spices, black pepper and cocoa. Upon further exploration one can expect to journey through a complex flavor profile or citrus, nutmeg, intricate layers of coffee and roasted nuts that is finally topped off with an overarching note of toasted sourdough. Medium-full bodied in strength, each draw is decadently delicious and more compelling than the next, leaving smokers wanting more. Formatted in three sizes and available for purchase are The Oscar Robusto (5 x 50), The Oscar Toro (6 x 52) and The Oscar 6 x 60 (6 x 60). Pushing for that one-of-a-kind boutique look, each offering is packaged in a traditional wooden cigar box elevated with carved cavities fashioned to look like the classic cigar mold used in factories to securely hold exactly 11 cigars.
