La Aroma de Cuba
La Aroma de Cuba originated in Cuba where it became a favorite brand of Winston Churchill in the late 1800s. Reborn in Nicaragua in the house of legendary cigarmaker José ‘Pepin’ Garcia in Estelí, Nicaragua, La Aroma de Cuba has grown into a mega-brand and one of the hottest cigars on the market. A toothy Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper is drawn over a vintage amalgam of premium Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos grown on Garcia family estates and aged to perfection. Tasting notes of cocoa, cedar, molasses, and coffee bean mingle with a woody spice before a voluptuous, medium-bodied finish coats the palate. The critics in Cigar Aficionado awarded La Aroma de Cuba with an impressive 94-point rating and have declared it the ‘#1 Cigar Industry Best Buy’ multiple times. Savor a must-have cigar for new cigar lovers and seasoned connoisseurs everywhere.

I have been a fan of this brand for years with the Monarch Toro. Recently switched to the the Robusto size which has become my new favorite. Smooth, full draw with a slow even burn that lasts about an hour. A relaxing, delicious smoke. Holt’s always delivers.
03/22/2025 - Kevin D. from Shelton, CTIf you like Connecticut Broadleaf wrappers, you'll likely enjoy this cigar. I avoid Connecticut wrappers but these came through by way of a sampler pack. Well constructed cigar in every way. The cold draw is amazing but came up short when lit. But, that's just my preference.
03/03/2025 - Steve R. from Gun Barrel City, TXThis review is for the Robusto. I really enjoyed the feel and the flavor of this cigar. I am a cigar connoisseur with 30 years of developing my palate and preferences. Times have now required me to find some more affordable cigars since my habit of smoking $25 smokes and even more expensive ones cannot continue at the rate that I enjoy them. Four stars for flavor, construction, and burn. Love the 54-ring, love the sweetness of the wrapper, and the spice, pepper, and mineral flavors. A perfect daily smoke for those who enjoy medium body with lots of flavor. My only gripe which is why I did not rate this 5 stars is that the final inch got worse instead of better. The final inch lost the smoothness and smoked a bit hot and harsh instead of the flavor getting stronger and more developed. This will not prevent me from ordering more of these however because everything else about the cigar I really enjoyed and especially the price to boot.
02/24/2025 - Ethan H. from San Ramon, CAThis cigar punches above its weight for sure. A great mild to medium smoke. Good draw, nice flavor and good construction.
02/10/2025 - Brian C. from Mount Pleasant, SCSome cigars are good, some are ok, some are not so good, then there are some so good, it touches your soul, and this cigar was absolutely soul touching! From the first draw all the way to the end! Very smooth! Towards the end, I was getting subtle coffee notes which made me want a coffee. The only bad thing I have to say about this cigar is it ended when I wasn’t ready for it to be finished.
02/02/2025 - Brandon J. from Greensboro, MDBeautiful construction! Burns perfectly! Draw is smooth! Taste is luscious; coffee, earthy, and vanilla flavors. The price is terrific - low for such quality.
01/01/2025 - Steven G. from Whitestone, NYWhen I just feel like sitting with a good cigar, I pull one of these out of the humidor. Mild flavor, good draw and overall a good smoke.
12/28/2024 - Kevin B. from Bella Vista, ARLa Aroma de Cuba Is amazing and Holt's customer service is outstanding!
10/31/2024 - Donald K. from Deptford, NJThis blend hits my palate right! I originally tried La Aroma de Cuba after watching Mazz and Faccia during one of their cigar reviews on Holt's YouTube channel. They were spot on! I am a Nicaraguan tobacco fan and with the longfiller and the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, this cigar is a cocoa and spice bomb!! I reach for this blend every day and go through a box a month! I'm hooked!
10/28/2024 - Mitch W. from Oscoda, MISmooth, full flavor and mellow. Will be purchasing more to keep on hand.
