| Enclave Broadleaf Toro is the first cigar in A.J. Fernandez's own portfolio to use a |
| Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. Following the hugely successful original Enclave, |
| Enclave Broadleaf was born out of positive inspiration after its predecessor earned a |
| spot on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 list in 2016. Handmade at Tabacalera A.J. |
| Fernandez Cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua, Enclave Broadleaf is rolled using a top-tier |
| blend of Nicaraguan filler and binder tobacco from Esteli, Jalapa, and Pueblo |
| Nuevo. The dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper is what sets it apart from |
| the original release, making for a rich, smooth, and utterly delicious smoking |
| experience. You don't have to take our word for it, however, as it wasn't long |
| after its release that Enclave Broadleaf received a tremendous 92 rating in Cigar |
| Aficionado. Maduro fans, this one's for you! |

| Dark, veiny, and shimmering with natural oils, Enclave Broadleaf is clothed with classic |
| double bands and rolled with expert precision. A generous draw offers a |
| more-than-ample amount of dense, white smoke, greeting the palate with a dazzling |
| array of earthy sweetness mixed with Nicaraguan pepper. Rich cedar ties |
| together beautifully with sweet and savory notes as the strength of Enclave |
| Broadleaf strengthens. Slight cocoa can be detected through the nose alongside the |
| heavy dose of spice on the retrohale. A.J. Fernandez has done a beautiful job |
| with his first Connecticut Broadleaf cigar, appealing not only to maduro |
| fanatics, but those looking for a full-bodied Nicaraguan experience. Enclave Broadleaf |
| is available in three standard sizes, each showcasing the blend just a |
| bit differently. At 6 1/2" x 54, the massive toro size smokes long and cool, |
| showcasing the intricate blending involved in the decadent filler blend. |

| While Enclave Broadleaf is certainly a solid choice for just about any fan of maduro cigars, |
| it really is, like many A.J. Fernandez blends, geared towards more |
| experienced connoisseurs. Enclave Broadleaf is indubitably a full-flavored, full-bodied |
| cigar, so much so that prior to its release it was rumored to sport the |
| powerhouse Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper, known for its overwhelming strength and |
| nicotine potency. This myth was, of course, debunked by the good folks at A.J. |
| Fernandez Cigars, but it goes to show you just how much power this blend |
| packs. Such a robust blend makes for an ideal pair to stout beer, black coffee, |
| and tawny port, and it is worthwhile to note that Enclave Broadleaf is |
| best enjoyed after a heavy meal. If you loved the original Enclave, New World, |
| or San Lotano Oval Maduro, you will definitely want to give Enclave |
| Broadleaf a shot. Whether you love Nicaraguan cigars in general, you are a maduro |
| freak, or you just want to keep up with the latest and greatest from one of the top |
| blenders in the game, Enclave Broadleaf Toro will make for a more-than- |
| satisfying experience each and every time. |
