The Leaf by Oscar series may be one of the ugliest looking cigars in the humidor... at least until you get this "beast and the beauty" unwrapped. This is because creators Oscar Valladares and Jim "Island Jim" Robinson had the ingenious idea of replacing the cigar's conventional cellophane packaging with an added layer of rustic tobacco. This added leaf may not be pretty, but it protects the cigars in a more natural environment, providing added oils to the wrapper leaf while the cigar waits patiently to be smoked.
Debuting in the early 2010s, the Leaf by Oscar series has become a fan favorite, especially in craft cigar circles. There are four cigars in total, including the Leaf by Oscar Maduro, Leaf by Oscar Sumatra, Leaf by Oscar Connecticut, and Leaf by Oscar Corojo. Each cigar consists of the same core recipe of all-Honduran binder/fillers, swapping the wrapper on each blend to offer a wide range of flavor profiles.
The Leaf by Oscar Maduro cigar is a medium to full-bodied blend, using all-Honduran tobaccos and being topped with an especially oily maduro wrapper leaf. After making sure to remove the protective cover leaf (trust us, unsuspecting hobbyists make this mistake far too often), the Leaf by Oscar Maduro springs to life from the get-go, showcasing dark and mouthwatering flavors of freshly tilled soil, oak, black pepper, molasses bread, and punchy cocoa.

Griselda Rodriguez - Leaf By Oscar Maduro 660 - 5 Pack
The Oscar Maduro brings out a little bolder flavors than the Oscar Connecticut. Although you can still have this as an early morning smoke, it definitely brings out prominent and bolder dark chocolate and black coffee notes.

What better way to protect a cigar than by wrapping it in another tobacco leaf! And the bands are tobaccco also, in case you forget to take it off before burning through it.

The wrappers wrapper alone makes this a hit. It's not just a smoke its an experience.

John Kenny - Leaf By Oscar Maduro Toro
The first time I saw this line, I thought "What the hell do you do with that?? It must be just all marketing b.s." Then, I tried them. Once you remove the ruddy, wrinkled outer leaf, you will find a beautiful, flawless, excellent cigar inside. Each wrapper (CT, Maduro, Sumatra and - my favorite - Corojo) imparts a different flavor to the already solid blend. Market away, Oscar. The end result warrants it.
