Few cigars keep coming back to Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 the way this one has. The La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Belicoso (5 1/2 x 54) was the No. 2 Cigar of 2011 (95), returned as No. 13 in 2016 (93), and made the list again as No. 9 in 2023 (95).
It is a box-pressed belicoso with a dark Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, made in Nicaragua. Dark chocolate, espresso, earth and sweet spice, medium-full and remarkably balanced for how rich it is. About 65 minutes, a Power Hour smoke on the Burn Clock.
An after-dinner cigar worth the reputation. A Cabernet, an aged rum or a strong black coffee. Boxes of 25. Explore more San Andrés cigars and top-rated cigars.
