The Aging Room Rare Collection by Rafael Nodal embodies the craft-focused philosophy that has resonated with cigar fanatics, delivering small-batch cigars made with exceptional tobaccos. This collaboration between Nodal and master blender A.J. Fernández highlights rare, well-aged components, including a hybrid Cuban-seed wrapper cultivated at Fernández’s La Lilia farm in Nicaragua. Complementing this unique wrapper are all-Nicaraguan tobaccos in the binder and filler, with the inclusion of the coveted Pelo de Oro leaf, known for its rich flavor and challenging cultivation.
True to its name, the Rare Collection is produced in small batches, being rolled as the limited tobaccos are in supply. The cigar offers a medium-plus body with a refined complexity that appeals to the seasoned palate. The profile reveals notes of earthy richness, zesty cabinet spices, and medium-roast coffee beans, accented by layers of hardwood and subtle sweetness. Each puff showcases a harmonious balance, demonstrating the meticulous craftsmanship behind the blend.

Tons of flavor in this one. I got cedar and leathery notes from start to finish. Perfect burn and excellent construction.

Just smoker this recently and it was a solid smoke. I like more smoke output from my cigars and this was a little lacking.

Received in October's COTM. I always feel like i overlook Aging Room for other brands and it's a shame. this is a pretty solid smoke, a little nutty on the retrohale. Can taste the aged tobaccos used, very enjoyable. Burn has been consistent and draw is damn near perfect.

Solid Cigar. I write this as I am finishing up the last few puffs before I get up and find my nub tool or burn my fingers. When I first saw the pigtail, I got excited. Some of my favorite cigars have pigtails, so I quickly grabbed my V cutter and hacked into it. Beautiful wrapper and summer hay flavors on the cold draw. 1st dozen puffs had me wondering if I lost ability to taste. (Maybe it was the soda I was drinking, but soon after medium earthy flavors where picked up on my tounge from the roof of my mouth. I noticed some flavors of woodsy-burnt-sawdust (the good kind) combine with smooth grassy flavors that leave a subtle aftertaste to enjoy. The flavors stayed consistent until I got into the final third. This is where some white pepper became more apparent with my retrohale. It burned solid and true from start to finger burning nub with nothing bad to say about the cigar. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 starts, is the milder profile just didn't do it for my full-bodied preference. I will be smoking this one again!

I don't give many 5 star ratings but this one deserves it. I have smoked a dozen of these and all work flawless in construction and draw. Rich in favor, full to medium in strength.
The Aging Room Rare Collection is a special occasion cigar that anyone would be happy to have in their humidor.

Received this in the October #COTM club. Very solid presentation. Loved the pig tail. From start to finish burned very well. Nutty and wood notes throughout. Would definitely recommend this stick!

Do you like Snickers bars? How about salted caramel? If you said yes to either of these questions this is the cigar for you. From the first puff salted caramel hits your palette and the very smooth retrohale has flavors that remind me of vanilla and a sweet caramel infused bourbon. This is a cigar you will never want to end.

This is going to sound crazy but this cigar is like smoking a snickers candy bar. I have never smoked a cigar that has the flavor profiles this one does. Great Dark cigar!

What a great collaboration with AJ Fernandez. Nice consistent burn throughout and the draw was very smooth. The hint of roasted nut and cedar was a nice touch for me.
