But with so many options, choosing the perfect one can be a challenge. Fear not, aficionados! This guide will help you light up their passion with the ideal smoke for your special someone. We've handpicked five fantastic recommendations at different price points, ensuring that there's a cigar for every budget.

1. Drew Estate Undercrown Gran Toro - Ksh 2400

The Drew Estate Undercrown Gran Toro follows the trend towards ever larger ring sizes making this Nicaraguan beauty fun. As far as the aromas are concerned, they are known to come into their own best with the large ring gauge. Whether the sweet cocoa or the really pleasant green pepper note. The beautiful cedar wood aroma is supported by the light earth that is so typical of Nicaraguan cigars. The smoke also produces a fine creaminess, which increases even further when paired with the right drink.

2. RoMa Craft Tobac CroMagnon Aquintane Cranium  ~ksh 2700

When you hold the RoMa Craft Tobac CroMagnon Aquitaine Cranium in your hands, you can already feel its outstanding quality. A high-quality H2000 wrapper from Ecuador adorns the stately cigar, which is also equipped with a binder from Cameroon and hand-picked Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. An earthy, peppery base note determines the creamy smoke of the tasty long filler, which also has complex chocolate, cedar wood, coffee and leather aromas. The draw and burn cause no problems for the connoisseur during the almost 90-minute smoking time.

3. Joya De Nicaragua Medio Siglo Toro ~ ksh 1700

This cigar offers you a harmonious and tasty pleasure. After a short peppery start, it comes up with a rich composition of fine wood, cinnamon, toast, earth, nut and cocoa aromas, which are also accompanied by a very gentle sweetness. The hand-rolled long filler can be settled at medium strength range, tastes very balanced and is very reliable in terms of draw and burn. The Joya de Nicaragua Classico Medio Siglo Toro offers you a harmonious and tasty pleasure at an extremely reasonable price. A very good everyday cigar.

4. Leaf by Oscar Maduro Toro  - Ksh 2700

You can expect a lot of attention when you present Leaf by Oscar Maduro for the first time. The additional “packaging” of wrapper leaf tobacco is very coarse, but encloses a delicately shiny, oily Maduro from Nicaragua that is tightly wrapped around the Honduran body. Earthy notes can already be detected in the cold aroma. When lit, sweeter, chocolate aromas that are reminiscent of Sachertorte immediately develop. The chocolate aroma increases as the smoke progresses and is complemented by earthy notes and freshly roasted coffee. The sweetness remains, with white pepper mixing in towards the end. It's an overall spicy smoke that's really fun.

5. Paradiso Papagayo - Ksh 2700

The overall picture is completed by an oily, shiny, dark cover sheet that has fine veins. Medium to strong in strength, the long filler presents itself at its best aromatically - full-bodied and complex. Earth, coffee and wood aromas meet fruity and chocolate notes, rounded off by nut and spice nuances. You will hardly find a more extensive range of flavors in a comparable price segment. As is usual for cigars made by Don Pepin Garcia, the workmanship here is impeccable with a perfect draw and even burning.

Honorable Mentions

Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No.2 -  Ksh 5500

The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 in hand like an old friend. It smells slightly cold of autumn leaves and, when lit, spreads cautiously on the palate. A little light dried fruit and cedar wood, plus soft bitter notes of mild cocoa. Very stringent increase in the course of the smoke with a slight increase in sharpness. Flawless burn and nice ash formation until the finale. During the day, the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 with café au lait and latte macchiato, later served with mature brandy or cognac.
