La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor

About La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor

Mi Amor Reserva followed in September 2012; the maker now lists it as La Aroma de Cuba Reserva. Its wrapper is what the maker calls an extensively fermented San Andrés Oscuro from the top priming, over well-aged Nicaraguan binder and filler, with dark chocolate, black pepper, hickory, leather and espresso, and the maker labels it full. Ashton's Sathya Levin told Cigar Aficionado in 2012 that Reserva was meant as a stronger, richer and more complex version of Mi Amor. In the Cigar Aficionado ratings we found, both lines ran medium to medium-full.

Mi Amor and Reserva sizes

Every size is sold as a single, a 5-pack or a box. The Mi Amor Belicoso, which we do not stock online, has also made the Top 25 three times: No. 2 for 2011, No. 13 for 2016 and No. 9 for 2023.

What to pour with Mi Amor

The maker lists no pairing for either line, so these are our house suggestions. Both wear dark San Andrés wrappers, and our whiskey guide sets a dark, cocoa-rich cigar beside a sherry-cask Scotch or an aged rum; from our bar, try the Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak or one of our aged rums. With the Reserva, which the maker labels full and describes with black pepper, a caramel-forward bourbon or a rye works too. More in the cigar and whiskey pairing guide.
