Leaf by Oscar started as a small boutique project from Leaf and Bean, a tiny shop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The owner of this shop is the man after whom this cigar is named: Jim Robinson, alias "Island Jim".
The Island Jim No. 2 consists of rich Honduran filler tobacco, followed by a binder also from Honduras and is refined with a Mexico San Andrés wrapper.
With a shaggy foot and a very interesting multi-layered “torpedo tip”. Despite its robust appearance, the Island Jim is a perfectly rolled and immaculately crafted cigar. It has a huge smoke volume, a light draw and a perfectly even burn.
Starting with rich notes of earth and nuts, the complexity increases through the smoking experience. In the course of the smoke, subtle notes of white pepper, nutmeg and black cherry are added. A strong, creamy tobacco grade accompanies every draw and them ends with a sweet, chocolate finish and a hint of caramel.
The Island Jim fits darker rum, a single malt scotch or a good port wine.
