Oscar Valladares Super Fly Maduro

Oscar Valladares Super Fly Maduro – Retro look, modern flavour

The Oscar Valladares Super Fly Maduro is a stylish tribute to the cult film ‘Super Fly’ (1972) and the iconic soul sound of that era. The packaging, band and name deliberately play on this retro vibe – yet at its core, it is a premium cigar to be taken seriously. The fine San Andrés Maduro wrapper from Mexico gives it an immediate presence, whilst the binder and filler from Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic provide depth and complexity. The Toro size offers sufficient length for a leisurely, flavour-rich smoke lasting around 70–80 minutes.

The construction, draw and burn are – typical of Oscar Valladares – very clean. The cigar delivers a generous smoke volume and remains aromatically intriguing right to the end, without ever seeming unbalanced or too strong.

Dark, spicy, elegant

In terms of flavour, the Super Fly Maduro ranges from medium-bodied to full-bodied. The Mexican Maduro wrapper brings the typical dark notes of cocoa, coffee and earth, complemented by spicy accents from the Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos. A hint of sweetness and a creamy smoke round off the profile. The result: a cigar with character that makes a statement both visually and in terms of flavour.
