Leaf by Oscar FAQ

Who makes Leaf by Oscar?

Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co. makes Leaf by Oscar in Honduras. The line grew out of a collaboration between Oscar Valladares and “Island Jim” Robinson of Leaf & Bean in Pittsburgh.

Why is there a loose tobacco leaf around each cigar?

The loose outer leaf is the packaging. Peel it away to reveal the finished cigar. The smooth leaf fitted directly around the cigar is its wrapper, and its variety changes with the blend.

How do the four original wrappers differ?

Connecticut and Corojo use Honduran wrappers. Sumatra uses an Ecuadorian wrapper, and Maduro uses a Nicaraguan wrapper. Each has a Honduran binder and filler.

How does the 2025 Broadleaf differ from the original Maduro?

The Broadleaf Limited Edition uses Connecticut Broadleaf seed grown in Honduras. The original Maduro has a Nicaraguan wrapper. We carry the limited edition in Toro and the original Maduro in Robusto, Toro and Sixty.

Which Leaf by Oscar sizes does The Smoke Ring carry?

We carry Robusto, Toro and Sixty in all four original blends, plus Connecticut and Corojo in Lancero. We also carry the 10th Anniversary in Toro and Sixty and the 2025 Broadleaf in Toro. Call 281-332-9871 to check a particular size.

Four wrappers with a common origin

The original blends come from the same Honduran maker and share Honduran binder and filler origins. Their wrappers span three countries, making this an easy family to compare in our blend reference.

A house blend with Pittsburgh roots

The Leaf & Bean name on the band is a link to Island Jim’s shop. For a wider look at the maker’s work, visit our Oscar Valladares brand page.
