These cigars are all across the board and we were not paid a dime for putting these cigars on here! These are just some of the many amazing cigars that we enjoyed this year! Within the next couple days we will keep releasing more and more! Check back to see this years top cigar! But for now, onto #25 &#8211; #21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Spots 25 &#8211; 21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"174\" src=\"http:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Blind-Mans-Bluff-1024x174.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Blind-Mans-Bluff-1024x174.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Blind-Mans-Bluff-300x51.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Blind-Mans-Bluff-768x131.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Blind-Mans-Bluff.png 1153w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#25 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Blind Mans\nBluff \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Robusto \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 5.0 x 50<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So upon first glance of this cigar, it has a very basic\nband; no shine, no flashy colors, just a simple eyeless man. But as they say,\ndo not judge a book by its cover as this is a fantastic cigar and a real \u00e2\u20ac\u0153eye\nopener\u00e2\u20ac\u009d! (Horrible joke, I know). Anyhow, this cigar features an Ecuadorian\nHabano wrapper and longfillers from Honduras as well as the Dominican. With\nnotes of spice, light sweetness, cedar, and earthy notes, this cigar is really\na solid burn from start to finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"280\" src=\"http:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bugatti-Ambassador-1024x280.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bugatti-Ambassador-1024x280.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bugatti-Ambassador-300x82.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bugatti-Ambassador-768x210.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bugatti-Ambassador.png 1121w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#24 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Bugatti\nAmbassador \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Toro \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 6.0 x 54<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your engines my friends as this smoke is a solid right from start all the way to finish line! This beauty is wrapped in a silky smooth Habano wrapper and filled with 4 different long filler leaves. The burn is spot on, the draw is amazing, and those flavors\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. Mmmm mmmm good! Creamy, sweet, and just a little bit of spice towards the end delivers an incredible medium body smoke. All of that for a reasonable price makes you feel like you just haggled your way into a Bugatti while only paying for a Hyundai!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"581\" src=\"http:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kristoff-Picture-1-1024x581.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5228\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/?attachment_id=5228#main\" class=\"wp-image-5228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kristoff-Picture-1-1024x581.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kristoff-Picture-1-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kristoff-Picture-1-768x436.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#23 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Pistoff\nKristoff \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Churchill \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 7.0 x 50<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kristoff hits the nail on the head with the name of this blend.\nThe Pistoff is mean, and gritty. For the smoker that enjoys a spicy cigar this\nis the dark alley you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind walking down unsupervised. Pair this with a\ngood rye whiskey you will find a perfect combination to fend off a cold winter\nnight. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be too scared off by the spice though as this cigar smokes very\nsmooth all the way through, with hints of nuttiness and toast, and a surprising\nsweet finish. The Pistoff comes in a variety of vitola\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s including 660 Gordo\n(6&#215;60); Robusto (5.5 x 54); Churchill (7&#215;50); Corona Gorda (5.75&#215;48) and soon\nto come in 2019 the Grand Daddy \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Extremely\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Pistoff (8.5&#215;60). With an MSRP of\n$8-9 this is very affordable and well worth every dollar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"210\" src=\"http:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Crowned-Heads-Le-Careme-1024x210.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Crowned-Heads-Le-Careme-1024x210.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Crowned-Heads-Le-Careme-300x62.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Crowned-Heads-Le-Careme-768x158.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Crowned-Heads-Le-Careme.png 1135w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#22 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Crowned\nHeads Le Carema \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Belicosos Finos LE 2018 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 5.5 X 52<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cigar is a beauty for sure. You see this dark and oily Broadleaf wrapper and just know you are in for a treat. The cigar is filled with Nicaraguan fillers wrapped in an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper with a very simple, yet elegant band. As you enjoy this cigar, you will get notes of nuts, cocoa, a little bit of pepper, and a whole lot of YUM! Medium in body but rich in flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"123\" src=\"http:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Partagas-Legend2-768x123.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Partagas-Legend2-768x123.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Partagas-Legend2-768x123-300x48.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#21 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Partagas\nLegend \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Toro Levenda \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 6.2 x 54<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So do you enjoy a nice medium bodied Partagas cigar? You\nknow, that solid standard they have been delivering for such a long time? Well\nif you do, this is NOT the cigar for you! This toothy, full bodied, rich cigar\nreally steps up the strength and flavor profiles. The sweet Broadleaf wrapper\nis just beautiful and features amazing notes of leather, spice, caramel, and\nmolasses along with an amazing burn from top to bottom! It looks great, tastes\ngreat, and is priced great, so it just had to make this years list!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alright guys, the holidays are done and now its our turn to puff out our first annual top 25!
