Escobar Maduro Belicoso

The Escobar Maduro cigar is characterised by a rich aroma, a creamy texture and modern boutique quality. The blend features a dark, oil-glossy Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos – a combination finely balanced by master blender AJ Fernandez. On the palate, notes of dark chocolate, espresso and subtle peppery spice emerge, elegantly balanced by cedar and a delicate, natural sweetness. Anyone looking for a characterful yet pleasantly rounded Escobar Maduro cigar will find here a reliable go-to smoke for after work, at the bar or with an espresso.

Full-bodied & creamy – a modern Maduro

Right from the very first puffs, the Escobar Maduro delivers a dense, velvety smoke and a clear structure. The strength ranges from medium to medium-full: enough body without any harshness. Cocoa, coffee, dark fruits and a hint of BBQ spice come to the fore, yet remain harmoniously integrated throughout. This makes the Escobar Maduro cigar ideal for aficionados who appreciate depth and balance – whether enjoyed on its own or as an accompaniment to an espresso, dark chocolate or a mature rum.

Robusto & Corona – flexible smoking times

The range is available in popular sizes such as the Robusto 5 × 50 and the Corona 5 × 42. Both sizes develop the Maduro profile quickly and evenly, offer a generous smoke volume and sit comfortably in the hand. Depending on the market, box options are available containing 20 or 25 cigars; this selection allows for both sampling and stocking up the humidor. As such, the Escobar Maduro cigar fits effortlessly into both short and longer smoking sessions.

Origin & Development – AJ Fernandez x Nas

The current core range of Escobar Cigars – Connecticut, Habano, Maduro – was relaunched in 2024 in collaboration with AJ Fernandez. Music icon Nas has been shaping the brand as a co-owner since 2021, bringing Escobar additional attention and reach. Production takes place in Estelí (Nicaragua); the result is consistent premium cigars with a modern style and reliable quality – exactly what makes the Escobar Maduro so appealing, both for everyday enjoyment and on special occasions.
