This cigar was released in mid-2022, and it is packed in boxes of 7 cigars, each one placed in a coffin. It is dressed up with a golden band on the foot. This box-pressed cigar delivers an intense smoke that doesn’t stop getting richer and richer. A great evolution and a fulfilling finale make it a true stand-out.
It exhibits notes of earth, black pepper, and a mineral touch. Advancing in the smoke, nutmeg, piquant peaks, and undergrowth reach the palate as well. Walnut and leather join 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 Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
