Description
The OZ Family Cigars Aramas A52 is a round 5 x 52 robusto that rolls Nicaraguan, Dominican and Connecticut broadleaf filler inside an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper. Tim Ozgener developed it with Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, and halfwheel credits Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic with production.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Insider’s August 8, 2023 note scored the A52 90 points, picking up cinnamon, brown sugar and oak, a little fruit and vanilla, then a sugary close with a rum-barrel woodiness. Cigar Coop’s November 26, 2024 review scored it 89, opening on mocha and baker’s spice with retrohale pepper; by the final third coffee sat up front, backed by pepper and a mineral edge as the chocolate faded. The maker cites roasted nuts, dark chocolate, black pepper and powdered sugar at medium-full, whereas Cigar Coop put strength at medium with a fuller body.
Who It’s For
- Robusto smokers after the Aramas blend in its most compact size.

About the Aramas Line
Cigar Aficionado explains that trademark conflicts kept Tim Ozgener from using either the Turkish or Armenian name for the mountain, so he blended the two, reflecting his Armenian father and Turkish mother. As with Bosphorus, each size name pairs the line’s first letter with its ring gauge.
Compare Similar Cigars
- Aramas A60: this blend at 6 x 60, the line’s heaviest ring.
- Bosphorus B55: the maker’s box-pressed 5 1/2 x 55, wrapping Nicaraguan filler in Ecuadorian Habano.
- Karatoba Robusto: the same 5 x 52 frame, but the maker pairs a Sumatra wrapper with Nicaraguan and Dominican tobacco.
- Firsat F52: a lighter 5 x 52 the maker calls mild to medium, wrapped in Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf.
