CIGORA: CIERTO IS A "LUXURIOUS EXTRA AÑEJO" TO PAIR WITH YOUR CIGAR

By Cigora Editor

CIERTO RESERVE COLLECTION EXTRA AÑEJO

Winning "World’s Best Tequila" in 2020 for their Reserve Collection Extra Añejo, Cierto founders Enrique Fonseca and Sergio Mendoza made a big splash quickly out of the gate. Not surprisingly, as Fonseca and Mendoza are 4th and 5th generation agaveros respectively, meaning the guys who plant, grow, care for and harvest the plump agaves that mystically transform into tequila. Part of Cierto’s promise is to harvest their piñas only at peak ripeness — not a given in a world of frequent agave shortages, where brands reap unripened agaves due to crazy commercial demands.

Rather, Cierto relies on generational expertise to make the call when their agaves are ready. Their Reserve Collection Extra Añejo ages for at least four years in French Limousin oak, picking up a cognac-like mouthfeel, aroma, golden hue and color, complimenting the natural cooked agave with tobacco, sweet cherry, honey and oak. 

Featured cigar pairing: Cierto Reserve Collection Extra Añejo has a cognac-like mouthfeel and a subtle note of tobacco. This gorgeous Extra Añejo is the perfect match for Warped Eagles Descent.
