第8名 亞歷克·布拉德利普倫薩多系列魚雷（Alec Bradley Prensado Torpedo）
52環(huán)徑，6.125英寸，得分95分,，售價(jià)14.15美元,。茄衣是洪都拉斯煙葉，茄套是尼加拉瓜煙葉，茄芯是尼加拉瓜、洪都拉斯的混合煙葉。在洪都拉斯卷制,。這個(gè)系列的丘吉爾尺寸在2011年被評為年度最佳雪茄第一名，讓亞歷克·布拉德利雪茄一舉成名,。獲得榮譽(yù)后,，該公司短期內(nèi)不得不應(yīng)對迅速增加的訂單需求。因?yàn)橼s進(jìn)度,，這個(gè)系列的雪茄曾經(jīng)遭遇到質(zhì)量問題,。公司創(chuàng)始人艾倫·魯賓發(fā)誓要糾正這些問題，加倍的加強(qiáng)品質(zhì)控制,。十多年過去了,，這個(gè)系列的雪茄仍然表現(xiàn)神奇，重新成為今年度最好的一批雪茄,。2023年2月斯堪的納維亞煙草集團(tuán)收購了 亞歷克·布拉德利雪茄品牌,，我們很高興的看見，到目前,，STG似乎盡了最大的努力來保證普倫薩多系列的品質(zhì)和特色,。這款雪茄的口味表現(xiàn)了泥土和堅(jiān)果味的和諧結(jié)合，可可的濃郁口味為這支雪茄帶來了甜味和力度,。
Alec Bradley Prensado became famous when the Churchill size was named the cigar of the year back in 2011. It could be said that this was the cigar that put Alec Bradley on the map. But the accolade had an unexpected consequence and the company had to deal with a level of demand it didn’t necessarily know how to handle. For a brief period, Prensado suffered quality issues as Alec Bradley struggled to meet demand. Alan Rubin, who owned the company at the time, vowed to correct the problems and doubled down on quality control. Now, more than 10 years later, it’s a fantastic cigar and regained its rightful place as one of the best of the year. The blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran tobacco is still the same, however, Alec Bradley was acquired by Scandinavian Tobacco Group in February 2023. We’re happy to say that so far, it seems STG has done everything it can to maintain Prensado’s quality and character, one that shows a harmonious combination of earth and nuttiness before a substantial note of cocoa brings not only some sweetness but intensity as well.
第9名 古巴芬芳愛神系列比力高（La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Belicoso）
54環(huán)徑,，5.5英寸，得分95分,，茄衣是墨西哥煙葉，茄套,、茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉,。售價(jià)每支9.25美元,。古巴芬芳這個(gè)品牌是阿什頓出品的雪茄中的佼佼者，這個(gè)品牌委托尼加拉瓜的加西亞家族生產(chǎn),，質(zhì)量始終如一的出色,，提供了抽茄者遠(yuǎn)高于雪茄零售價(jià)的抽茄體驗(yàn)。阿什頓公司最早在2003年推出了古巴芬芳品牌,，當(dāng)時(shí)是在洪都拉斯卷制,。2009年，這個(gè)生產(chǎn)線轉(zhuǎn)移到尼加拉瓜,，交給了加西亞家族生產(chǎn),。2010年阿什頓推出了愛神系列，這是該公司首次使用墨西哥煙葉作為茄衣的雪茄,，不過其余成份還是尼加拉瓜煙葉,，并且是加西亞家族自己種植的尼加拉瓜煙葉。愛神系列是在老爹雪茄廠生產(chǎn)的,，使用了兩種煙葉作為茄套,，這是老爹雪茄廠的古巴風(fēng)格之一。這款雪茄的煙葉混合相當(dāng)濃郁,，比力高的錐形茄頭使得煙霧更加集中,。濃郁的麥芽巧克力和混合堅(jiān)果的口味給人留下甜美可口的印象，讓你回味久久,。
La Aroma de Cuba is one of Ashton’s over-achievers. Made in Nicaragua by the Garcia family, the cigar is not only consistently excellent, it delivers tremendous value, offering a smoking experience that goes well above its suggested retail price. Ashton introduced the La Aroma de Cuba brand in 2003. Back then, it was made in Honduras. In 2009, Ashton Distributors turned production over to the Garcias and launched Mi Amor the following year, which was the brand’s first line extension. Mi Amor was new territory for Ashton, as it represented the first time the company sold a cigar with a Mexican wrapper. The rest of the tobacco is Nicaraguan and grown by the Garcias on their many farms throughout the country’s fertile regions. Like all La Aromas, Mi Amor is produced at the Garcias’ My Father Cigars factory, and rolled with two binders—one of the factory’s Cubanesque styles of construction. The blend is quite robust, but the Belicoso’s tapered head makes the smoke a bit more concentrated, bringing the cigar’s character into sharper focus. It’s a rich smoke of malted chocolate and mixed nuts, leaving sweet and savory impressions that envelop the palate and resonate on the long finish.
第10名 章魚比力高格蘭德（El Pulpo Belicoso Grande）
58環(huán)徑,，5.75英寸，得分94分,，售價(jià)每支17美元,。茄衣是墨西哥煙葉，茄套,、茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉,。章魚雪茄是榜單上比較年輕的雪茄品牌。阿加諾薩煙草公司2023年發(fā)布的這個(gè)品牌,。它的飽滿強(qiáng)烈的口感個(gè)性給我們留下了深刻的印象,。這款雪茄是尼加拉瓜的 A.J. 費(fèi)爾南德斯代工生產(chǎn)的，使用的茄衣是墨西哥煙葉,。這款雪茄的茄衣煙葉發(fā)酵的時(shí)間比傳統(tǒng)的墨西哥茄衣煙葉要長,。這也是這個(gè)品牌籌備了很久才上架的原因之一。這款雪茄提供了多層次的咖啡豆,、黑巧克力,、堅(jiān)果、柑橘的味道，讓人持續(xù)回味,。雪茄的出品方是蓋斯,、比利兄弟，他們之前在紐約市經(jīng)營雪茄零售店,，后來將店出售后,，轉(zhuǎn)型成為雪茄制造商。他們成立公司后推出的第一個(gè)品牌“生活”曾經(jīng)出現(xiàn)過年度雪茄排行榜的前25名,。如此這個(gè)“章魚”品牌將他們的業(yè)務(wù)帶到了一個(gè)新的水平,。El Pulpo在西班牙語里是“章魚”的意思，意味著這款雪茄的煙霧像章魚抓住獵物那樣包圍住你的味覺,，這是一種很新穎的描述抽茄體驗(yàn)的用詞,，我們對此并不排斥。
El Pulpo is one of the newest cigars on this list, as it was released in 2023 by Artesano del Tobacco. It impressed us with its dense and powerful character. The cigar is made by A.J. Fernandez in Nicaragua with a Mexican San Andrés wrapper that the company says is aged for a longer period of time than is typical of Mexican wrappers. This is one of the reasons the brand took so long to come to market. When the wrapper was finally ready, the result was a big, bold cigar that also showed balance and purpose. It isn’t strong just for the sake of being strong, but offers layers of coffee bean, dark chocolate, nuts and citrus that make a lasting statement. The cigars come from brothers Gus and Billy Fakih, former New York City cigar-shop owners who left retail to become full-time brand owners. Their first line, Viva La Vida, has appeared on our Top 25 list before. El Pulpo brought them to the next level. The name translates to “the octopus” in Spanish because the tendrils of smoke are supposed to surround your palate the way an octopus grabs its prey. It’s a novel way of describing the smoking experience and one that we don’t disagree with.
