The Montecristo Edmundo was the first Toro-sized cigar produced in Cuba back in 2004. Since then, it has continued to be among the most representative products of the brand due to the consistency and typicality of the flavor profile. The Edmundo was among the best five Cubans also in 2017. It delivers a rich, bold, and fulfilling smoke.

Wood, nuts, and black pepper are the main aromas in its flavor profile. During the smoke, spicy peaks and nuances of cocoa, earth, and balsamic tones appear as well, creating a nice evolution.

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.
