Agree this is a good cigar. Much more dimensional and impressive flavor profile compared to the Exclusivo Nicaragua (blue leaf on band).
Not clear on the move to the PDR factory?? The Exclusivo Nicaragua was made by Eduardo Fernández of Casa Fernández and AGANORSA (http://halfwheel.com/viaje-teases-exclusivo-nicaragua-corona-gorda/135951) and the Exclusivo Reserva is from Honduras - Fábrica de Tabacos Raíces Cubanas S. de R.L. (http://halfwheel.com/viaje-exclusivo-reserva-robusto/122396)
Still prefer the OR Exclusivo blend, but found this release very enjoyable. May have to dig out a Tower Anniversary to compare
