The limited-edition Gran Toro pays tribute to cultural heritage and cigar artistry. It features Chinese and Nicaraguan fillers, a Dominican binder, and an Ecuadorian wrapper. It is inspired by the giant panda, a symbol of harmony. Despite its size, the cigar evolves from creamy, coffee-forward notes to a more herbal, spiced profile.
The Great Wall National Treasure is aesthetically a pretty cigar to look at. Once lit, it leads to cappuccino, nuts, and sour cream flavors. Leather and wood add depth as herbal notes and spice emerge in the second half.

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.
