It’s a limited releases out of the El Rey de los Habanos factory in Miami. Pete Johnson decided to also add the original six sizes of the Selección de Cazador line, also known as Brown Label. The difference in the Escasos line is the wrapper, an Havana Rosado Claro from Ecuador. It is intense cigar, boasting a great evolution.
It develops notes of cocoa and a mix of hazelnut and almond, enriched by black pepper and cinnamon hints. Then the spices become hot and a rich note of milk chocolate emerges. The last part of the smoke turns to wood.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews, those that scored the best score get re-selected. These products were 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 made.
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. This list, together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy and the Best Boutique Brands, will be published in Winter 2019 issue of CigarsLover Magazine.
