Eight Extraordinary Cigars Everyone Should Be Smoking

The February issue of Cigar Aficionado was another great edition of stellar smokes, all representing different blending styles and tobacco types. Some are multi-nation compositions while others are made with tobaccos from only one country. Creativity abounds as we see what different cigarmakers can produce with similar varietals. The selections below highlight the top scores of the February tasting, and are cigars that every smoker should be seeking out. Age them if you want, but these are performing beautifully right off the shelf.

While it’s positioned as a value brand, it certainly doesn’t smoke like one. The cigar speaks of autumn with its notes of apple, baking spices and cedar—a Churchill that truly goes above its paygrade. See the full tasting note.
