The Choix Suprême is a stronghold of the El Rey del Mundo brand. In production since before the advent of the Cuban revolution, it is still the most important cigar of the brand, flanked by the small Demi Tasse. It’s complex and with a respectable flavor profile, as well as an appreciable evolution. It is best enjoyed in the morning, with a clean palate.

Floral notes and herbs open up the smoke, which is soon enriched with an increasingly pronounced pepperiness. Then, seasoned wood and intense notes of honey are added. The base is sweet throughout the smoke.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?

Among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews, those that scored the best score get re-selected. These products were 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 made.

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. This list, together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy and the Best Boutique Brands, will be published in Winter 2019 issue of CigarsLover Magazine.
