”The Rich, Dark Evolution of a Timeless Classic”
The Reserve Maduro takes the foundation of the world-famous 1875 and dresses it in a dark, midnight-colored wrapper. This isn’t just a stronger version of the original; it’s a completely different flavor profile. If you love the reliability of Romeo y Julieta but crave the sweet, chocolatey notes that only a true Maduro leaf can provide, this is your perfect match.
The Experience
The standout feature here is the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper—dark, rugged, and glistening with natural oils. From the first light, you’ll notice a much thicker “mouthfeel” than the standard 1875. It’s a medium-to-full-bodied smoke that starts with a pleasant earthiness and quickly settles into a creamy, cocoa-heavy rhythm. It’s smooth enough for an afternoon smoke but rich enough to follow a big meal.
Tasting Profile
Primary Flavors: Dark Chocolate, Sweet Espresso, and Toasted Oak.
The “Maduro” Note: Look for a distinct molasses and black cherry sweetness that lingers on the lips.
The Finish: Clean and slightly sweet, with a very gentle spice that keeps it from being “one-note.”
Technical Specifications
Strength: Medium-Full
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf (Maduro)
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: A rich blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Peruvian long-fillers.

Owner’s Note: This is the ultimate “Coffee & Cigar” pairing. The natural sweetness of the Broadleaf wrapper complements a dark roast or a latte perfectly. If you find the Montecristo White too light and the Romeo Black too strong, the Reserve Maduro sits right in that sweet spot of being flavor-forward without the “nicotine kick.”
