Cigar of the Month Club Video Review: November 2023

It’s not uncommon for brands to want to save some of their most prized crops for specialty releases, but what about those of us who demand that level of quality and depth every day? Our Experts selected five super-premiums which perform like limited-editions but provide you with richness in regular supply.

Yet another Cigar Aficionado Top 25 collaboration between AJ Fernandez and Rafael Nodal, the Montecristo Nicaragua is classically inspired, yet thoroughly modern and dynamic in its approach to profile.

‘90’ rated, the Alec Bradley Tempus Maduro began as a limited-edition offered in a single vitola. It sold out so quickly that Alan Rubin decided to shift this blend into regular production with multiple sizes.

We owe thanks to Raúl Disla for Latitude Zero: his resumé includes Davidoff and AJ Fernandez, as well as special commissions for Steve Saka. If you were a fan of Liga Privada in the early days, you’ll undoubtedly be impressed.

‘91’ rated, the Rocky Patel Sun Grown is ideal for those who enjoy a complex, yet luxurious experience.

Utilizing a pre-embargo technique to shape the cigars, La Gloria Cubana Spanish Press employs a four-country blend that’s rich and unique in experience.
