Best Cigars to Smoke On Easter
Many folks spend Easter Sunday relaxing with their family over a delicious brunch and enjoying time outside in the warm weather. That makes it an excellent occasion to indulge in a cigar with your relatives or neighbors because you can smoke outside again. If you observe Lent and give up cigars, you deserve a top-shelf smoke after abstaining for several weeks. Here are five top-rated cigars to add to your humidor this Easter. If you’re looking for cigars you can share with others, these iconic bestsellers will fit the bill.
#1 - Ashton Aged Maduro
If your Easter Sunday includes indulging your sweet tooth with chocolate or candy, the mellow and naturally sweet taste of Ashton Aged Maduro is an ideal blend to enjoy. An oily, well-aged Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper covers a premium amalgam of Dominican binder and filler tobaccos. Notes of dark chocolate, black pepper, maple, and nuts precede a creamy finish with a touch of spice in several classic shapes. Ashton Aged Maduro is an excellent cigar to pair with a sip of rum, bourbon, port, or a cup of coffee.
#2 - Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente
Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente is available in three well-aged wrapper varietals: Connecticut Shade, Connecticut Broadleaf, and Sun Grown. We’re recommending the Connecticut Shade blend as an ideal Easter cigar due to its creamy, easygoing profile. Subtle notes of cedar, cashew, almond, coffee bean, and spice mingle throughout a luscious profile in a collection of slightly thicker sizes. Chateau Series cigars burn cool and easy, making them a superb choice to smoke after brunch.
#3 - La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut
Award-winning father-and-son cigarmakers Pepin and Jaime Garcia blend and produce the La Aroma de Cuba portfolio in Nicaragua. Since its debut in 2023, La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut has grown into one of the fastest-selling Nicaraguan cigars with a milder profile. A golden Connecticut-seed wrapper, harvested in Ecuador, surrounds vintage Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos. Quintessential notes of almond, cedar, cashew, and coffee bean characterize this mellow smoke throughout a buttery finish. Follow up your Sunday morning mimosa with this 92-rated gem.
#4 - San Cristobal Elegancia
San Cristobal cigars hail from Nicaragua, where they’re also blended by Jose ‘Pepin’ Garcia from select Nicaraguan long-fillers and a silky Ecuador Connecticut wrapper leaf in a series of popular sizes. Tasting notes like white pepper, cashew, almond, and coffee bean layer the palate with creamy texture and a touch of zest. You can smoke San Cristobal Elegancia during a walk in the park or while relaxing in the backyard hammock. Its complex taste is rich without overwhelming.
#5 - Padrón 1926 Series #90
Celebrate Easter with a high-end, special occasion cigar from Padrón. The prestigious 97-rated 1926 Series No. 90 comes in an attractive tube. A vintage recipe of well-aged Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos rests beneath a toothy Nicaraguan wrapper leaf. The blend boasts tobacco that has been matured for several years, offering notes of cocoa, cayenne, coffee bean, molasses, and spice. Unlike most Padrón cigars, which are box-pressed, the No. 90 is handmade in a round 5.5-by-52 format. Padron No. 90 is available in a Natural or Maduro wrapper. If you happen to find one in your Easter basket, the Easter Bunny has been good to you.
