toros/corona gordas

It’s a tale of two 92-point H. Upmanns, one from Cuba and the other from Nicaragua. The Cuban H. Upmann Connossieur series was ignored by Habanos for years until recently, when the company decided to bring new life to the line with more sizes. The Connossieur B is one such addition. Its secondary band indicates that it was made exclusively for La Casa del Habano and Habanos Point retailers. Equally impressive was the H. Upmann By AJ Fernandez Toro made by Fernandez in Nicaragua for Altadis U.S.A. Four cigars scored 91 points: The Don Pepin Garcia Original Exquisitos, made in Nicaragua; a Cuban El Rey del Mundo made exclusively for France; the hefty Nicaraguan Fratello Arlequin Gordo and the Matilde Oscura Toro Bravo from the Dominican Republic.
