Boris Wintermans (CEO of Royal Agio Cigars and 4th generation in the family business): “Cigar Journal recently rewarded the Gran Toro with an exceptional 92 rating. And the Rothschild Masivo was rewarded by Cigars & Spirits with a phenomenal 93 rating! We are very proud of these high scores. The cigars are available in the new exclusive Travel Retail Gift Box and 4-count cigar packs.”
Balmoral wants to surprise cigar lovers with the Anejo XO range. The cigars feature a sun-grown Arapiraca wrapper from Brazil, a Dominican Olor binder, and Nicaraguan, Brazilian and Dominican fillers. In order to marry all flavors, this cigars spend at least six months in an aging room. As a result, the typical flavors of the Anejo XO such as cacao, vanilla and underlying sweetness can be found in all vitolas.
At the factory in San Pedro de Macoris, in the south of the Dominican Republic only a limited number of pairs are certified to work on the Balmoral Anejo XO. The team of ‘roleros’ and ‘boncheros’, headed by Francisco Batista work day in, day out to create the best cigars possible.
