The Critics’ Choice Bundle brings together five premium cigars that have each earned a place on either Cigar Aficionado’s or Halfwheel’s separate Top 25 Cigars of the Year lists within the last five years. Cigar Aficionado and Halfwheel publish their own separate annual rankings, and every cigar in this bundle has been recognized by at least one of them.

The selection includes the Perdomo Legacy Ecuadorian Connecticut Epicure, Kristoff Tres Compadres Toro, Rocky Patel White Label Toro, Alec Bradley Prensado Torpedo, and E.P. Carrillo Encore Celestial. Together, they offer a varied range of blends and profiles, from the bourbon barrel aged Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper of the Perdomo Legacy to the medium to full bodied character of the celebrated Alec Bradley Prensado and E.P. Carrillo Encore lines.

Built around recent critical recognition, the Critics’ Choice Bundle gives enthusiasts five distinctive cigars selected from the individual annual rankings of Cigar Aficionado and Halfwheel. Each publication maintains its own list, criteria, and rankings, giving this collection a broader look at cigars that have stood out to leading critics over the past five years.

Hazel ★★★★★

I picked up this bundle mainly for the Top 25 accolades, and each of the five cigars delivered a smooth, even burn from start to finish. The draw on every one was perfect—not too tight, not too loose—and the flavors were complex without being overpowering. Definitely a solid value for someone wantin

Lucy ★★★★★

I was skeptical about buying cigars blind, but having five different blends that all made Top 25 lists in the last five years is a solid gamble. The variety alone makes it worth the price, and the first one I smoked burned evenly down to the nub.

Charlotte W. ★★★★★

The construction on each of these is flawless—even burn and a nice, easy draw throughout. The bundle is a perfect way to sample five different award-winners without committing to a full box of any one.
