Cigar Aficionado has named the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Maestro as the very best cigar of 2019. The pure Nicaraguan stogie beat out nearly 750 other cigars that were smoked, scrutinized and rated by Cigar Aficionado editors.

Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Maestro was expertly crafted by renowned cigar maker A. J. Fernandez in the vision of brand owner Rafael Nodal— a Cuban refugee who immigrated to the U.S. in 1980 and went on to became a leader in the fine tobacco industry. Every puff of the full-bodied stick delivers rich flavors of dark chocolate and wood, as well as subtler hints of fine caramel and toasted almonds.
