Roberto Duran Reserva Cigars

Craftsmanship and Heritage in Every Roberto Duran Reserva Cigars Draw

The Roberto Duran Reserva marks the first collaborative blend between industry veteran Roberto Pelayo Duran and his son, Roberto Pelayo Duran Jr., and it’s a solid, confident statement of what father and son can build together. Handcrafted in Estelí, Nicaragua, at the family’s vertically integrated boutique factory, this new offering defines the next chapter for Duran Cigars as they reinvest in their U.S. presence from their new headquarters and retail space in Miami’s iconic Little Havana.

The blend itself is an aromatic homage to craft and patience. A 2024 Ecuador-grown Habano Corojo wrapper from Fincas Azan drapes each cigar with an oily, toothy richness. Beneath it lies a resilient Besuki Indonesian binder that supports a well-balanced interior of aged Jalapa viso and seco, along with Estelí-grown Nicaraguan leaf, all aged for three years.

The result is a complex medium-plus experience that unrolls slowly with notes of cedar, cocoa, coffee, and a subtle sweetness that evolves with every inch. What stands out in the Roberto Duran Reserva Cigars is the way flavor development is not just consistent but progressive—a clear sign of deliberate blending from two palates at different ends of a generational spectrum.

Format, Flavor, and Forward Motion: Roberto Duran Reserva Cigars Deliver

For seasoned cigar aficionados, size matters—and Duran Cigars has delivered three vitolas that each showcase the depth and clarity of the Reserva blend in their own distinct way. The Big Robusto (5 x 54) is priced at $16 per cigar or $400 per box of 25, and it delivers an immediate hit of flavor with a slightly punchier profile, ideal for those short evening wind-downs with a pour of bourbon or dark rum.

The Toro Box Pressed (6 x 54) leans into elegance and construction, retailing at $18 per stick or $360 per box of 20, offering a nuanced, slow burn that lets the cedar and coffee notes shine through. For those who savor the long game, the Double Corona (7 x 52) is where this blend truly stretches its legs—rich, slow-burning, and complex to the last draw, priced at $20 per cigar or $500 per box of 25.

The Roberto Duran Reserva Cigars are not mass-market products—they’re intentional, small-batch expressions that reflect the Duran family’s deep-rooted respect for craft. And while the blend itself may be new, the soul of it draws from decades of tobacco knowledge. This is a cigar made by those who have grown, rolled, and smoked long enough to understand that restraint and refinement are sometimes more powerful than bold experimentation.

Distribution for this standalone release is based in the newly opened Little Havana hub, reinforcing the company’s recommitment to the U.S. market. It’s a fitting location, too—Little Havana is where Cuban cigar heritage continues to evolve and breathe in the American cigar culture, and Duran’s presence there adds weight to their rebirth.

With the Roberto Duran Reserva Cigars, you’re tapping into a family legacy built on precision, patience, and pride. Whether you’re new to Duran or a long-time follower, this is a blend that reminds you why certain names still matter in the world of cigars.
