The Oro line by Lampert Cigars is produced in Costa Rica, along with the Ocean Breeze, and the blend contains a Peruvian Pelo de Oro tobacco. The Don Patron delivers a well-balanced smoke with a complex and intriguing flavor profile.
At the start, the cigar gives off a noticeable aroma of cappuccino and cream, accompanied by hints of hazelnut, white pepper, and vegetal notes. The profile becomes more herbal in the second half, and the white pepper transforms into black pepper. A fresh balsamic scent emerges during the finale, and the smoke becomes spicier.

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.
