While it wasn't apparent when this cigar debuted, 2019 would be a big year for General Cigar's Cohiba. It's not just placing two cigars on the list, there were a handful of new releases and a complete makeover of the brand's packaging.

As for this particular cigar, it's highlighted by an Ecaudorian wrapper that is grown not under cheese cloth, but rather under clouds. While it seemed like the idea was to make a cigar that goes after Davidoff's popular white label, the profile was quite different. It's a complex profile that was more medium-full. As far as ranking cigars on the list by the number of different flavors they possess, this might take the top spot. — Charlie Minato.
