C5 Black is inspired by “el Corte Cinco,” the Fifth Priming, when the uppermost leaves known for their rich, full-bodied character are harvested. This wrapper gives the cigar its complexity and flavor. It offers an intense smoking experience with bold flavors from start to finish.
The opening delivers earth, cocoa, and leather on the palate. Cinnamon spice emerges as the profile develops. Cocoa intensifies as the smoke progresses, becoming richer and more pronounced. Walnut notes are introduced. The spicy character picks up toward 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.
