Is it worthy of the #1 rating?
#1? No. But it does belong in the top 25 for 2016....just my opinion.
#14 on
Cigar Smoke's Top 25 list for 2016.
#6 based on a
compilation I did for 2016 based on 29 reviews from 26 cigar review websites.
Worth giving it a try. We sold 100 boxes in 4 weeks after Cigar Aficionado announced it as the Cigar of the Year on December 15. We were the only shop in the country to have it in stock because we believed in it and bought heavy.
We'll have 10 boxes in stock this week. Add a single and give it a try. Even better, get a 5-pack so you can let some age.
