Drew Estate Liga Privada No. 9 Corona Double

Here it is, the best cigar in the world – if you believe Steve Saka, the head of Drew Estate, and many other voices from the cigar universe. You don't have to believe him now, but if you smoke it, you might just agree. From the very beginning of the over two-hour smoke, the overwhelming aromas are fully present, ranging from cocoa and espresso to an almost cherry-like sweetness, roasted notes, a touch of leather and nut, and finally, pepper. For Cigar Aficionado, it certainly earned them a top 10 spot in their 2015 year-end rankings with 94 points.
