TDLR: The HVC Edición Especial 2015 is a medium plus Cuban-style cigar made with Aganorsa tobacco. It delivers rich flavor, clean balance, and classic retrohale spice without being overpowering. Excellent construction and great value make it a must-try for fans of traditional Cuban profiles.


HVC EDICIÓN Especial 2015 Cigar Review

If you enjoy cigars that combine classic Cuban flavor with modern Nicaraguan power, the HVC Edición Especial 2015 is a cigar you need to try. HVC stands for "Havana City," a direct nod to brand founder Reinier Lorenzo's Cuban roots. The Edición Especial 2015 is one of his best known blends and a shop favorite for cigar lovers who want flavor over hype.

Profile

Cuban inspired with Nicaraguan character

Every leaf inside the HVC Edición Especial 2015 comes from Aganorsa, one of the most respected growers in the world. If you like Casa Fernandez, Aganorsa Leaf, or Warped cigars, you are already familiar with this flavor style.


Flavor Profile

Cold Draw Notes: sweet tobacco, hay, light cedar

First Third: Cuban style spice, toasted bread, cedar, touches of honey

Second Third: Earthiness settles in with cinnamon, cream, and roasted nuts

Final Third: Richer tones of leather and toasted wood with a clean finish

Retrohaling really brings this cigar to life. You get that signature Aganorsa white pepper through the nose that many cigar lovers look for.


Burn and Performance

Construction is consistently solid. The burn line stays straight, ash holds well, and the draw is usually spot on. It burns slow and cool, giving you time to enjoy the transitions in flavor.


Who Will Enjoy This Cigar

This cigar is perfect for:

  • Fans of Cuban profile cigars

  • Smokers who enjoy smooth complexity over raw strength

  • Aganorsa lovers (Warped, Illusione, Aganorsa Leaf brands)

  • Medium strength cigar fans who want spice without harshness


Pairing Suggestions

  • Coffee with cream

  • Highland single malt whisky

  • Light rum or Cuban style rum

  • Sweet tea or cola


Final Thoughts

The HVC Edición Especial 2015 proves you do not need flashy marketing to make a great cigar. It delivers clean flavor, balance, and character all the way through. This is a cigar built by a blender who truly understands Cuban tradition but uses Nicaraguan tobacco to elevate it.

If you are searching for a cigar with soul and elegance, this one belongs in your humidor.
