第11名，云斗53號（Cloud Hopper No. 53）

42環(huán)徑，5.25英寸。得分93分。每支售價6.95美元。全尼加拉瓜煙葉卷制。一般來說，這種纖細的尺寸很難提供豐富的風味。但是翹曲雪茄的凱爾·蓋利斯做到了。這款細小的雪茄有迷人的姜餅、巧克力和甜香料的味道，尾端帶有堅果味。凱爾·蓋利斯是一個進入雪茄行業(yè)相對較短的年輕人，短期內(nèi)在行業(yè)產(chǎn)生巨大的影響。他出品的雪茄也進入了2017年和2019年的前25名。

Consider the corona size, a tidy shape measuring little more than five inches in length, with a slim ring gauge, typically 42. It can be hard to deliver big flavor in such a slim size, but Warped’s Kyle Gellis succeeds with his Cloud Hopper No. 53. Made in Nicaragua from an entirely Nicaraguan blend, the small smoke has intriguing notes of gingerbread, chocolate and sweet spices, with a finish that smacks of nuts. Gellis, a young man who is a relative newcomer to the cigar world, has made a big impact in a fairly short amount of time: he’s had cigars on our Top 25 in 2019 and 2017 as well.

第12名，盧西亞諾夢幻者（Luciano The Dreamer）

38環(huán)徑，7.5英寸長，長矛型號，得分93分，每支售價15美元。在尼加拉瓜的皮查多雪茄廠卷制。茄衣使用的是厄瓜多爾煙葉，茄套是尼加拉瓜煙葉，茄芯是尼加拉瓜和秘魯?shù)幕旌蠠熑~。這款雪茄可能會被很多休閑雪茄愛好者忽視，但是在雪茄世界深處，為雪茄鑒賞家所喜愛。長而纖細的雪茄很難制作，如果制作得當，它們會非常出色，并帶有大量的茄衣煙葉風味。這款夢幻者就屬于這樣的情況。這是盧西亞諾·梅雷萊斯（Luciano Meirelles）的標志性產(chǎn)品。原本這款雪茄是2020年作為限量版發(fā)布的，但是受到市場歡迎，梅雷萊斯2021年時將這款雪茄作為常規(guī)產(chǎn)品定期發(fā)布。帶有巧克力包裹的杏仁、咖啡和一點點香料的味道。

Lanceros are the deep tracks of the cigar world, embraced by connoisseurs but ignored by many casual cigar lovers. The long, slim cigars are tough to make, and when made right they are exceptional, with a great amount of the flavor delivered by the wrapper. Such is the case for Luciano The Dreamer, the signature smoke of Ace Prime owner Luciano Meirelles. The cigar was born as a limited-edition in 2020, but its reception led Meirelles to change strategy and make it a regular release in 2021. Its combination of tobaccos from Ecuador Havana wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler, with just a touch of Peruvian leaf, give it sublime flavors of chocolate-covered almonds, cafe? au lait and just a bit of spice.

第13名，塔圖阿赫珍藏K222（Tatuaje Reserva K222）

52環(huán)徑粗，5.875英寸長，得分93分，單支售價14美元。茄衣是厄瓜多爾煙葉，茄套和茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉。品牌創(chuàng)始人皮特·約翰遜（Pete Johnson）已經(jīng)成為雪茄行業(yè)的中流砥柱。他擁有多個產(chǎn)品線，并且持續(xù)進入《雪茄愛好者》雜志的年度前25名。他的雪茄大部分是在尼加拉瓜生產(chǎn)的，但是這款雪茄是在美國佛羅里達州的哈伯納斯之王雪茄廠（El Rey de los Habanos）卷制的。塔圖阿赫品牌2003年就是在佛羅里達州誕生的。K222是2016年發(fā)布的一款較新的產(chǎn)品線，這個產(chǎn)品是為了紀念約翰遜的一只名為Kona的寵物狗。它具有標志性的華麗結(jié)構(gòu)，中等到飽滿的強度，豐富濃郁的糖蜜、咖啡豆和紅辣椒的香氣，尾端帶有卡布奇諾咖啡的味道。

Pete Johnson has become a cigar industry mainstay, a man with multiple lines of cigars that consistently score well in this magazine and make our Top 25. Most of them are rolled in Nicaragua, but this Tatuaje Reserva K222 is made in Florida, where the Tatuaje story began back in 2003. While the Tatuaje brand is closing in on 20 years of age, the K222 size is a newer release that first hit the market in 2016. It was created as a tribute to Johnson’s dog, whose name was Kona. It has that trademark gorgeous construction, a medium-to-full body, and rich, hearty notes of molasses, coffee bean and red pepper, with a cappuccino finish.
