Premium Cigars for Special Moments
What makes premium cigars so appealing? Is it the almost boundless reverence for the perfect craftsmanship of the torcedores from Cuba, Brazil, and the Dominican Republic? Is it the complex and exciting, yet smooth and balanced play of flavors on the palate? Is it the goosebumps from the first puff? Or is it all of this combined, united in a perfect moment—a moment that lasts an entire evening. An evening that aficionados will talk about for years to come, reliving the experience with blissful memories. All of this contributes to the allure of premium cigars.
Cigar Perfection: The Criteria
It’s not enough for premium cigars to simply taste good. Aficionados are typically individuals who savor every sense. That’s why it’s important that the appearance of a cigar is flawless as well. The shape, craftsmanship, and band—all of these contribute to the ultimate cigar experience because the eye smokes as well. In addition to the visual appeal, cigars of luxury class must also have perfect draw and burn characteristics. Ultimately, it’s the taste and aroma that determine whether a cigar deserves the label “particularly valuable.”
Premium Cigars You Must Try
Of course: the luxury of enjoying one of the best cigars in the world is one of the most cherished moments in the life of an aficionado. However, top cigars are not exactly the cheapest. Still, every cigar lover should smoke one of the following cigars at least once in their life.
1. Cohiba Behike
This is the classic among luxury cigars. The term "Behike" refers to the medicine man and ceremonial leader among the Taínos, the indigenous people of Cuba. He is the most respected figure and the spiritual leader of the people. Only the finest tobacco from the best plantations in the San Luis and San Juan y Martínez regions of Vuelta Abajo is used for the Behike. The premium cigars of the Cohiba Behike line are a true monument to Cuban culture. They are available only in limited quantities.
2. Ashton ESG (Estate Sun Grown)
For those who enjoy complexity and depth, this is the perfect cigar. These cigars are “totalmente a mano” (100% handmade) and are rolled exclusively by the best and most experienced torcedores of the renowned Arturo Fuente manufactory. Across the board, the Ashton ESG (Estate Sun Grown)
receives top ratings from critics worldwide. The "European Cigar Cult Journal" even awarded the cigars of the ESG series the title “Cigar of the Year 2000” in the category “Best Dominican Cigar.”
3. Montecristo No. 2
“Cigar of the Year 2013,” said Cigar Aficionado about the Montecristo No. 2 . And they were right. This torpedo-shaped cigar lives up to the title. It impresses with its potent strength, typical earthy notes, a distinct spiciness, and subtle sweet undertones. For fans of Cuban cigars, this piece is an absolute must!
