As the name states, this Dioses is that it has been aged ten years in humidity-controlled cedar-lined and French oak-lined rooms. This hefty cigar reveals an unparalleled smoothness from start to finish, paired with a balanced, flavorful profile and impeccable burn throughout.
The first draw reveals floral aromas, followed by notes of wood, honey, hazelnut, and cream. Progressing further into the cigar, a white pepper note develops with a sweet base. Towards the end, a pleasant bitter nuance comes through together with herbs.

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 Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
