We're excited to share some fantastic news with our cigar-loving community. Our EGM Cigars have recently received outstanding recognition from one of the industry's most respected publications, Cigar Journal. In their rigorous blind taste test, our beloved Encanto scored an impressive 90 points, while our Robusto wasn't far behind with a commendable 88 points.
The Significance of Cigar Journal's Evaluation
For those unfamiliar with Cigar Journal, it's a publication that sets the gold standard for cigar reviews. Their blind taste tests are renowned for their impartiality and thoroughness. Experts evaluate cigars without knowing their brand or origin, ensuring unbiased assessments based purely on quality and experience. Achieving a score of 90 or above is a remarkable feat, placing a cigar among the cream of the crop.
Spotlight on EGM Encantos and Robustos
The EGM Encanto, our star performer, is a testament to our commitment to excellence. This cigar is a true labor of love, challenging to produce but rewarding in its complexity and flavour profile. Its elegant 192mm length and 39 ring gauge create a smoking experience that's both refined and satisfying.
While our Robusto didn't quite hit the 90-point mark, its score of 88 is nothing to scoff at. This vitola offers a perfect balance of flavour and smoking time, making it a go-to choice for many cigar enthusiasts. We're proud of its performance and see it as further validation of our craft.
Our Journey and Philosophy
These accolades didn't come overnight. They're the result of years dedicated to honing our skills and perfecting our blends. We've poured our hearts into creating a line of cigars that are not only high-quality but also accessible to a wide range of smokers.
At EGM Cigars, we believe in breaking down the barriers often associated with premium cigars. Our goal is to offer an exceptional smoking experience that's approachable for both seasoned aficionados and curious newcomers.
The EGM Difference
What sets our cigars apart? It starts with our choice of tobacco. We source only the finest leaves from the Cibao Valley in the Dominican Republic, a region revered for its exceptional tobacco. Our cigars are Dominican Puros, meaning every component – wrapper, binder, and filler – comes from this celebrated region.
We honour time-tested traditions in our production methods, hand-rolling each cigar using long filler leaves. This attention to detail ensures a consistent draw and even burn, hallmarks of a quality cigar.
Looking Ahead
While we're thrilled with this recognition from Cigar Journal, we see it as just the beginning. We're constantly striving to improve and innovate, always with our customers' enjoyment in mind.
We invite you to experience the EGM difference for yourself. Whether you opt for the elegant Encanto, the reliable Robusto, or any of our other meticulously crafted vitolas, we're confident you'll appreciate the passion and expertise in every puff.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Here's to many more moments of cigar-smoking pleasure!
