After the success of the Blackened Cigars, a new Lancero size was released for both the Blackened M81 and S84. The sizes are described as a guitar solo in cigar form. The Blackened M81 Lancero delivers a rich and bold smoking experience, hitting all the right notes.

Dark chocolate, earth, and black pepper emerge as the cigar is lit. The profile maintains dark chocolate, earth, leather, and black pepper throughout. Coffee is added as the smoke progresses. The last third introduces walnut, becoming balsamic and spicy towards the end.

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, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
