Aganorsa Leaf Announces Strategic Partnership with Gene Simmons’ MoneyBag™ Soda



Aganorsa Leaf, one of the premier names in Nicaraguan cigar craftsmanship, is thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Gene Simmons’ MoneyBag™ Soda, the bold and unapologetically flavorful craft soda brand co-founded by rock legend and entrepreneur Gene Simmons.

This collaboration will kick off with a series of cigar and soda pairing events nationwide in the coming months, introducing aficionados to the art of pairing Aganorsa’s award-winning cigars with the rich, nostalgic flavors of MoneyBag Soda. From creamy vanilla root beer to explosive blood orange these curated experiences are designed to engage both seasoned cigar lovers and adventurous newcomers.

“We’re always looking for ways to bring a fresh energy to the premium cigar world,” said Terence Reilly, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Aganorsa Leaf. “MoneyBag Soda has a bold, authentic character that pairs perfectly with the complexity of Aganorsa cigars. This partnership is about enjoyment, flavor, and creating memorable moments for our customers.”



In addition to live events, the partnership will include an exclusive social media campaign, featuring behind-the-scenes content, pairing tips, and giveaways. Fans can expect a unique fusion of rock and refinement, flavor and fire.

“MoneyBag is all about personality, power, and taste,” states Paul Janik Jr. (President, Gene Simmons Moneybag Sodas). “Teaming up with Aganorsa Leaf brings a new level of sophistication and fun. Cigars and soda might not be a traditional combo—but who wants to be traditional?”

The first pairing event will be announced soon via Aganorsa Leaf’s and MoneyBag Soda’s official channels.
