The Dominican Republic has a thriving domestic market with small cigar companies popping up all over the island. Many of those local brands have made their way into the U.S. over the last two years, none with more fanfare than Chogüí.
Dos77 was the first line sent to the U.S. market with this 6 1/2 x 46 Longsdale being the second vitola. It follows in a long line of cigars that have successfully blended intense peppers with fruity characteristics, all with the construction a cigar would need to make it onto our top 25 list. — Charlie Minato.
