Sold in 20-count boxes, the cigars are wrapped up in large bands. Under them, a well-made cigar, dressed up in a chocolaty Maduro leaf. They are made at the company’s Tabacalera Villa Cuba S.A. (TAVICUSA) in Estelí. A rich and bold cigar, with a marked evolution.
The first few puffs deliver earth, hay and leather, enriched by a rich spicy vein, made of black pepper and piquant peaks. Advancing, it delivers roasted coffee beans, and a touch of cocoa, followed by vegetal and balsamic herbs, the latter refreshing the flavor profile.

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.
