The story of Aging Room revolves around a central character who had no idea he was headed for the cigar business: Rafael Nodal. It’s a timeline of transitions, partnerships and collaborations that ultimately lead to the creation of the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Maestro, Cigar Aficionado’s 2019 Cigar of the Year.

Each year since 2004, Cigar Aficionado has reviewed the highest-scoring cigars from the year to conduct a special new tasting of only these cigars. These are repurchased, rebanded and tasted blind against each other until a new Top 25 list emerges, and one standout smoke is crowned Cigar of the Year.

Boasting a full-bodied blend of 100% high pedigree Nicaraguan tobaccos, the Quattro Nicaragua kicks it up a notch with an amazing array of zesty, nutty, peppery, and sweet tasting notes that are enhanced when paired with a good rum.

This cigar will begin shipping the week of Jan 8th.
