In 2022, Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co. celebrated its 10th anniversary in the premium cigar business with the release of a new cigar line called the Oscar Valladares 10th Anniversary. This line not only uses aged tobacco in its blend but also represents the company’s most premium offering to date.

These cigars are medium to medium‑full in strength and begin with earthy and grassy notes from the Candela leaf, followed by a rich, harmonious combination of leather, cinnamon, cocoa, spicy pepper, and dried fruit flavors as the smoke develops.
