Padrino Cigars is the premium handmade Cigar line from Power Cigar Tobacco Co. based in the south part of Cambodia. The Robusto size offers a profile that bursts of flavors that are well outlined while still boasting a remarkable balance.
It opens with very well-defined aromas of wood, nuts (mainly hazelnut), earth, and white pepper. Further into the smoke, a combination of leather and herbs is added, with the latter becoming more balsamic towards the end. The white pepper turns to black pepper in the finale.

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.
