The second Sixto-sized cigar in the Alma Fuerte line was introduced late last year. This new cigar features a ten-year-old Colorado Claro wrapper grown by the Plasencia family themselves. This hefty hexagonal-shaped cigar reveals a flavorful and, despite the generous size, complex flavor profile.
Leather and wood open the smoke, with coffee and vegetal notes that are perceptible as well. Black pepper and hazelnut appear later on, joined by aromas of cream.

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 were 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 Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine Winter 2021 issue.
