For Tim Ozgener and his Ozgener Family Cigar’s sophomore regular-production release Aramas, he is once again reflecting on his heritage for inspiration. Hailing from both Armenian and Turkish lineage, Ozgener decided to honor both sides of his family history by naming these cigars after a famous mountain that is culturally significant for and lies on the border of Turkey and Armenia. In Turkey it is called Mount Ararat, in Armenia it is called Masis, and just as the two are combined in Ozgener he combined their names to create Aramas. Aramas cigars are crafted into four sizes at Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic under the watchful eye of master cigar maker Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. The blending consists of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Connecticut Broadleaf long fillers bunched in a nutty Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and coated with a dusky Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper, and each leaf has been aged to perfection. The result is a full-bodied smoke as imposing as the iconic mountain, delivering a complex, lush, and balanced bouquet of chocolate, roasted nuts, leather, spice, and tobacco sweetness that will satisfy the most seasoned palate.
