A list of powerful, high-rated cigars that are as big in body as they are in flavor

There are plenty of high-octane cigars loaded with ligero tobacco on the market today, but power strictly for power’s sake isn’t enough. To truly stand out, a cigar must also have balance and grace to harness its strength. We’re all for full-bodied smokes at Cigar Aficionado, however we value clarity of flavor as much as we value boldness. So, we combed through the past year of ratings to provide a comprehensive list of highly-rated cigars that are not only strong, but also remain complex enough to ensure a premium smoking experience. These cigars prove that elegance and power can co-exist in the same puff.
