The Spectacular No. 3 from Great Wall Cigars employs several methods, all designed to preserve the original flavor of the tobacco leaves while bringing out the best in the blend. It boasts a rich, broad, and balanced flavor profile. The controlled strength plays in favor of the aromas.
It delivers rich notes of earth, undergrowth, a mix of black pepper, and hot spices, the latter in the background. Some roasted hints are also present, together with vegetal and balsamic nuances. Roasted notes are added later on, with the finale becoming spicier.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
