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.

Bundle up, grab your lighter and pour a glass of your favorite spirit because winter is here. Whether you’re braving the snow, still lounging by the beach or anywhere in between, these superb smokes are here to heat up your winter months.
We took the 17 best cigars from the September/October issue of
Cigar Aficionado and recent issues of
Cigar Insider. Each smoke on this list has scored at least 91 points in one of our blind taste tests, outstanding on our 100-point scale, making this an elite list of smokes.
Let’s toast to the season and the New Year with these cigars, each of which is worthy of a celebration. Here’s to 2021 and happy holidays.
