Made by My Father Cigars in Nicaragua for Ashton Distributors, the La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Duque scored 95 points, Classic on our 100-point scale. Mi Amor differs from the core La Aroma line as it’s rolled in a dark, Mexican San Andrés wrapper. Mexican cover leaf and Nicaraguan tobacco tend to blend quite well, but the two find uncommon synergy in this cigar. It’s the highest-scoring robusto and, at only $8.90 per cigar, one of the best bargains. The Cuban Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 scored 93 points and has long appealed to smokers of Cuban cigars, both new and inveterate, for its light body yet elegant complexity. Espinosa’s Knuckle Sandwich Maduro has the backing of television personality Guy Fieri, but at 92 points, it’s a great cigar regardless.
