In this Aladino line, the word Vintage is not a marketing strategy: the cigars have been resting in the factory’s aging room for a period of four to five years after they were rolled. The Elegante offers a vibrant and complex smoke. The evolution is constant and continually kept alive by a rapid alternation of aromas.
The opening is dominated by intense notes of cedarwood, hazelnut, and earth, with nuances of coffee beans. Later on, aromas of black pepper, chili, and walnut appear, with balsamic hints closing out the 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 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 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 Winter 2021 issue.
