2012 By Oscar

The 2012 series from Oscar Valladares marks his first year in the industry with a set of confidently box-pressed cigars. Available in several wrappers, including a striking barber pole that pairs Candela and Mexican San Andrés, it showcases how Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos can be layered for complexity. The Maduro expression lands in the medium-to-full range, emphasizing roasted nuts, coffee, and a concentrated fruity sweetness before drifting into bolder black pepper and wood. Razor-sharp seams, strong combustion, and clear flavor shifts have helped 2012 by Oscar Valladeres earn its reputation as a technical standout.
