Bei Cigar Aficionado (Member Zone) habe ich nach den am höchsten bewerteten Cigarren gesucht. Hier die Rangliste:

1. Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona; 99 Punkte (Rating aus dem Jahr 1992)

Perhaps Cuba’s greatest cigar. The Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona is a benchmark for the cigar world. It is gorgeous and smokes like a dream. The aromas and flavors are incredibly distinctive and reminiscent of chocolate, nutmeg and cinnamon.

2. Cabañas No. 751 Alfred Dunhill; 98 Punkte (Rating aus dem Jahr 1993)

In a cedar cabinet box of 50 cigars, these were amazingly good to smoke. The cigar showed beautiful, oily, dark-brown wrappers and smoked beautifully as well. Medium-bodied with a superfine, nutty character, they caressed our taste buds with every puff. Estimated production date: 1958.

3. Montecristo Seleccion Suprema No. 1; 98 Punkte (Rating aus dem Jahr 1993)

It was a shame to break up the cedar box of 100 cigars, but what cigars. The draw was so good they almost smoked by themselves, and the rich, creamy flavors filled your mouth. They were good down to the last inch. Estimated production date: 1958.

4. Romeo y Julieta No. 758 Alfred Dunhill Ltd. Seleccion Su; 97 Punkte (Rating aus dem Jahr 1993)

The packaging of this lonsdale cigar is wonderful, with each cigar individually wrapped in cedar sleeves. The cigars themselves are equally impressive, with loads of rich coffee-and-spice character yet in a very harmonious style. Estimated production date: 1959.

5. Cohiba Robusto; 96 Punkte (Rating aus dem Jahr 1992)

Mouth-filling with rich, coffee and spicy flavors and a impressively long finish.
