‘An Invigorating Expression of Artistry’
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Altadis U.S.A. is introducing the newest addition to the award-winning portfolio of Aging Room cigars – the Aging Room by Rafael Nodal Core Series.
This luxurious collection is an elegant expression of artistry from Aging Room founder Rafael Nodal. It is orchestrated through the acclaimed cigar master’s unique life experiences and intrinsic virtuosity. It is an exquisite lineup and an immaculate presentation of the superlative quality, flavors and inspired ideals of the distinguished Aging Room label – serving as a model addition to the decorated family of “Cigar of the Year” winners, and 95+ rated blends.
Each Aging Room cigar is born of the brand’s commitment to small batch production, optimizing the value of using luxurious, exceptionally-aged tobacco components. This methodic crafting process, combined with a meticulous attention to detail, culminates in the brand’s archetypal premium blends — displaying invigorating aromas and distinct flavor profiles brimming with robust complexity. The new Aging Room by Rafael Nodal Core Series flawlessly upholds the brand’s strict standards of excellence, exhibiting charming characteristics of the highest-caliber, with a spirited infusion of artful finesse.
The brand’s artistic values are fervently embodied by the new Core Series lineup, and realized through a variety of unique vitolas that have been passionately brought to life by their composer’s most evocative inspirations.
The Aging Room by Rafael Nodal Core Series portfolio features three exemplary premium selections: Core Series Connecticut, Core Series Habano and the Core Series Maduro. Each of these distinct presentations are handmade within the famed Tabacalera Palma factory, and comprised of decadent tobaccos from fertile growing regions. Core Series cigars are a consummate display of stellar tobaccos, boasting prime Habano, Mexican San Andrés and Ecuadorian Connecticut wrappers, elegantly encasing rich binders and a luscious recipe of choice long-fillers, both from the Dominican Republic.
To achieve a physical manifestation that embodies the Aging Room virtue, Nodal turned to his inherent musical philosophies. In developing new and imaginative blends, Nodal adopts a unique approach to his craftsmanship, mirroring the artistic flair demonstrated by a composer. By implementing this now-signature technique, Nodal works with tobaccos as musician writes a sheet of music. The Cuban-born cigar maker explains, “Just as a conductor configures their opus with a medley of precise notes, I ensure my compositions capture the finest elements of each tobacco. By blending various tobaccos into one refined expression of art, I’m able to produce the very best cigars for each and every consumer.”
The result of the Core Series’ craft promises to be a contemporary tobacco masterpiece for today’s most cultured connoisseurs. Each Aging Room by Rafael Nodal Core Series selection comes fashioned in three handmade varieties: Rapido, Vivase, and Andante for the Core Series Connecticut— or Rondo, Mezzo, and Majór for the Core Series Habano and Core Maduro. All vitolas will be available for purchase nationally in 20-count boxes, with an MSRP of $8.90 - $11.00 per cigar. Full distribution to all trade channels is expected to begin in August, 2018.
Experience the decadence of these remarkable artisan releases, from the premium cigar industry’s leading purveyor of boutique-crafted blends.
