After receiving the prestigious honor of being selected as Cigar Aficionado's No. 1 Non-Cuban Cigar of the Year for 2013, big changes were in store for Boutique Blends (parent company of the Aging Room brand). The cigar in question was the Aging Room Quattro F55 (now dubbed Quattro Original), a boutique-minded, small-batch project that took the cigar world by storm. This eventually led to Boutique Blends being acquired by Altadis (of Montecristo fame), positioning brand-runner, Rafael Nodal, as head of product capability at Altadis. In 2018, Rafael Nodal was given clearance to overhaul the Aging Room portfolio. This included new packaging and design, new naming conventions, cutting lines that were slow to move, and adding new blends to the mix. Among these new blends was the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua, a Nicaraguan puro that Nodal worked on closely with famed artisan A.J. Fernández. The cigars were rolled at Fernández's self-titled factory in Estelí, including specially selected leaves from Fernández's Nicaraguan farms throughout the blend. Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua boasts a hearty, oily Nicaraguan wrapper. The cigars are then box-pressed, allowing for a cooler smoking temperature and better fusion of the core tobaccos. This translates to a medium-to-full experience, bringing rich and punchy flavors of red pepper, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, fresh gardening soil, and sweet caramel throughout the finish. Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua has now joined its predecessor in critical acclaim, being named Cigar Aficionado's No. 1 Cigar of the Year for 2019!
