The Selection Royale is presented in a format that Habanos S.A. reserves for particularly valuable and special productions, such as some Regional Editions, and not seen in standard offerings; the 109 size with its distinctive head.
The cigar starts with vegetal and woody aromas, which gradually transform into citrus and white pepper notes. As the smoke progresses, the flavors develop into walnuts and leather, with a finish that has toasted notes. The strength of the cigar is balanced and not overwhelming, making it a very approachable smoke.

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.
