Leaf by Oscar Sumatra Robusto Cigar – Single

The Leaf by Oscar Sumatra Robusto uses a natural tobacco leaf instead of cellophane for packaging, allowing the Sumatra wrapper to age during storage. Handcrafted in Honduras at Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co., this 5” x 50 cigar combines a Honduran binder with Nicaraguan long-filler tobacco. The blend is designed for mellow to medium-bodied smoking, featuring a Sumatra wrapper known for its tight seams and oily sheen.

Flavor Profile & Combustion

Initial draws of the Leaf by Oscar Sumatra Robusto present notes of white pepper and citrus, transitioning to espresso and chocolate mid-session. The final third introduces earthy undertones with a creaminess attributed to the aged Sumatra wrapper. The cigar maintains an even burn line due to its Honduran-secured binder, producing firm ash with minimal relighting required. Draw resistance tests measured 1.2–1.5 inches of water column pressure in laboratory conditions.
