Is the cigar you have in hand when the ball drops at midnight on New Year’s Eve considered your last of the old year or the first of the new? With careful timing, it can be both. Here are a few suggestions for extraordinary smokes to commemorate the end of an era and a fresh new start to the calendar.
A phenomenal 5 x 50 figurado cigar, the Davidoff Aniversario Short Perfecto fits the designation of an ideal New Year’s smoke for multiple reasons. Rolled in the stereotypical, “fat-in-the-middle” double perfecto vitola, the Aniversario Short Perfecto recalls cigars you might see being handed out to signify celebration in an old-school cartoon. But it doesn’t just have the ultimate look for an old-fashioned party cigar, it also has the festive full flavor to back it up. Offering waves of creamy and nutty taste accompanied by a pleasant pop of peppery spice, this elegant “special occasion” smoke serves up luxury in every puff, making it an awesome option for your annual festivities.
Though it’s probably better suited for a ballroom soiree than a backyard kegger, the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edicion Diamante will add delicious class to any end-of-year bash. Aged to an ideal level of harmony, the Edicion Diamante is a Nicaraguan puro adorned in a unique hybrid Cuban-seed wrapper to introduce a memorably piquant smoke filled with pepper, leather, cinnamon, and sweet spices. Available in your choice of six sizes and rated as high as 93, these awesome celebratory cigars will leave an amazing aroma in the air long after the confetti hits the floor.
A beefy 6 x 56 adventure through decadent earthen flavors, this exemplary anniversary smoke manages to taste like a greatest hits compilation of the tastiest parts of cigar star AJ Fernandez’s most beloved blends. Leather, cocoa, and spices roll out in all the right places, contributing to the 20th Anniversary‘s commanding full profile. Fire it up and spend the last moments of the year immersed in powerful, palate-coating mastery.
Not all New Year’s parties are ragers. Truth be told, lots of people prefer a quiet night in surrounded by good friends, and the marvelously mellow Gilberto Oliva Reserva Blanc is sure to shine in such a setting. Reasonably priced and offered in a range of traditional sizes, these easygoing smokes are far heavier in creamy taste than they are in strength, bringing you a buttery balance of coffee, cedar, and spices over the course of its satisfying, laidback burn. It’s damn smooth, but loaded with just enough lip-smacking richness to keep you from getting too wistful.
Deemed an “ode to roots, friendship, and bonds” by master blender Ernesto Perez Carrillo, the Allegiance by E.P. Carrillo presents a stunningly tasty union of intensity and complexity. Rolled using potent Nicaraguan tobaccos under a red-hued Sumatra wrapper leaf, this 94-rated masterpiece erupts with amazing tones of spices, nuts, sweetness, and coffee. It’s an incredible smoke to share with fellow merry-makers, but its lively parade of flavors is enough to turn up the excitement even if you opt to enjoy its full-bodied flavor mastery all by yourself.
