Cigar Journal Top 25 of 2018 – No. 12 Balmoral Anejo XO Oscuro

Cigar Journal has named Balmoral Anejo XO Oscuro Rothschild Masivo as No. 12 in the Top 25 of 2018.

According to Cigar Journal:

The Balmoral brand has developed in leaps and bounds since entering the premium cigar market. Before parting ways with Drew Estate, this partnership amplified the brand’s reach, ensuring that cigar lovers were able to discover the premium-cigar offering of the label.

This year, the Balmoral manufacturer, Royal Agio Cigars, introduced two new lines to the Balmoral Anejo XO series, the Connecticut and Oscuro. These recent releases captivated our blind-tasting team, with the Oscuro being a standout in this year’s tastings. Multiple countries have supplied tobacco for this blend, which provides a rich and complex experience.

Tasting notes: This cigar delivers a lot of creamy smoke with an expressive taste and aroma profile; noticeable coffee notes, the delicate sweetness of dark chocolate, roasted aromas and abundant herbal spice, including a pinch of pepper.
