For the past ten years I have been a âCigar Writerâ.
I have had the pleasure to tour the factories in Costa Rica, taste and sample the best the world has to offer. I have discovered unique blends and rare treats along the way. I have learned that a great smoke can be found anywhere. And every once and a while a stick stands out in the crowd.
âBucanero Cigarsâ is simply the best little boutique brand you have never heard of before. Don’t be an ignorant jackass and go through life tellin’ people you love cigars and that you are a connoisseur if you have never tried a Bucanero Cigar!
The âBucanero Zâ created by Bucanero Cigars stands head and shoulders above the crowd. With its fine and tasty Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper she is an easy â90â rated smoke.
The second the blend rolls over your pallet your taste buds explode with delight. I truly mean this when I say that the flavors dance on your tongue. It’s a mild smoke with a cornucopia of flavors. Its aged four years which allows the leaf to mature and cultivate their powerful impact.
Bucanero Z is the best cigar I tasted in 2015. Hands down.
Bucanero Cigars was founded by Robert Spoden twenty years ago. Today they hand craft over 22 varieties. They use leafs from 11 different countries. They make small hand crafted batches and allow father time to keep a watchful eye over their development.
Their variety does not disappoint. Among those I sampled, there was not a bad one on the team!
The accolades for Bucanero Cigars have been sung by the industries most respected publications. âCigar Aficionadoâ, âSMOKEâ, and even âPlayboy Magazineâ have all rated their brand among the very best in the world. âPlayboyâ rated them as one of the âten best cigarsâ worldwide. Wowzer!
Awards? Yes, they have them a plenty.âClasico Maduroâ: 1999 Top 5 of the Twentieth century award winner.
Their website tells us, âThe Bucanero Clasico Maduro is a true smoking experience. Under its dark Connecticut Broad Leaf wrapper lays a rich highly favorable blend of the world’s finest boutique fillers. So rich in taste but very smooth with outstanding creamy after tones.
Maduro and even Natural wrapper cigar lovers both covet the taste of this extraordinary premium cigar. A select, dark, rich Connecticut Broad leaf wrapper. A blend of the finest Dominican and Nicaragua fillers. An Ecuadorian binder. This cigar blend brings forth subtle dark rich cocoa flavors and finishes with a slight sweetness all naturally. You will be placing the nub of this cigar in your pipe to avoid burning your fingers! Itâs just that great tasting!
You wonât find Bucanero Cigars in your local smoke shop. You’ll have to take the time to go to their website and order. But trust me you’ll be glad you did. www.bucanerocigars.com
