Translating from the word “Fat”, in Spanish, Gordo is one of the bigger-sized cigars you’ll see in the cigar industry. Gordo’s aren’t for the faint of heart nor are they for everybody.

Their bulging dimensions are roughly 6 to 7 inches in length with a ring gauge of 60. Gordo cigars or anything larger could come off as gimmicky at one point in time.

But as of late, cigar enthusiasts seem to be gravitating towards the Gordo size. The smoke time will last you longer than most Toros, all, while you’ll be able to really taste the complex flavor, notes some Gordos have to offer.

If you frequent or prefer Gordo-sized cigars, then this Top 5 sampler and list is the one for you. From Drew Estate to AJ Fernandez, here are some of the best Gordo cigars the industry has to offer.

Don’t forget to grab the limited-time sampler in the link below.

However, it has provided a totally different unique experience that is now deemed one of the most extraordinarily delicious blends on the market today.
