Long, stout 90-plus pointers that are built to last Share
Super Bowl Sunday is almost here, and at
Cigar Aficionado we like to enjoy the big game with big cigars. Here are 11 top-rated “A”s, double coronas and Churchills that are sure to impress. Light one up at kickoff and you’re likely to make it until halftime with a great smoke.
(94 points): The “A” size was born in Cuba, and traditionally it has been the longest size in a brand. No matter the country, today they are made in small quantities, for few people have the time to smoke one and it’s hard to find quality wrapper leaf large enough to cover these nine-inch-plus smokes. This one from the Fuente Fuente OpusX brand is 9 1/4 inches long with a 47 ring gauge. It’s amazingly complex, rich and delicious with layers of baking spices, coconut and wood a Dominican cigar through and through.
