New Brands coming to our Humidor
A new cigar broker has joined the Surroundings Family. The husband and wife duo are going to help broaden our offerings from small batch boutique to already well established brands. It’s easier for me to share this information via blog rather than the new and now page. I will provide links and all other info is straight from their sites.
Here is what we brought on so far this week:
Gorbusto has been added to our current Aladino line. I am currently smoking the “Orang” personality while I write this. Here is a write up from halfwheel if you are interested in learning more about Gorbusto. https://halfwheel.com/rebranded-gorbusto-by-aladino-launching-in-april/465518/
Aganorsa Leaf is an established brand, but new to our shop. In the past we’ve carried the JFR brand before Aganorsa picked them up. More than 20 years and countless awards later, Aganorsa Leaf is renowned throughout the world for its signature flavor that possesses all the great attributes of Nicaraguan terroir along with classic Cuban aroma and flavor. As a vertically integrated company, Aganorsa Leaf oversees the entire production process—from seed to ash—ensuring every cigar consistently produces maximum pleasure. Every cigar rolled in our factories in Nicaragua and Miami is composed of our highest grade Aganorsa Leaf, and is crafted under the watchful eye of Eduardo, his son Max, and their team of Cuban supervisors. When you smoke one of our world class blends, you will experience the difference between ordinary tobacco and Aganorsa Leaf.
•Quintessential “Cubanesque flavor and medium to full-bodied. This blend is the accumulation of Arsenio Ramos’ lifetime of experience in growing tobacco in Pinar Del Rio, Cuba and Nicaragua.”
•Aniversario Series “Complex, rich, and medium to full-bodied. This is perfect cigar for the experienced Aficionado to celebrate those special moments in life. Rolled in Corojo and Shade Grown Corojo Maduro cover leaf. All sizes are box pressed.”

And FINALLY a pleasant surprise to all of us Cojimar Cigars. Cojimar is a flavored brand we carried over 20 years ago. A cigar I smoked before Karen and Oscar took ownership of Surroundings and my go to when I lived in Florida. I loved their Mango Flavor and Chai. We can’t quite remember how, but they were phased out, yet never forgotten. A brand I have tried searching for and didn’t know they still existed. We will have an array of their flavors in our flavored section to offer something different from the norm you usually see. We are so excited to bring them back on board!
