Top 5 Cigars That Are Pure Class 2022

Let’s say all smokers alike can agree that if you’re going to order a good steak that price should never be a factor. All cuts of steak originate from the loin area and are primarily muscle, but good cuts of steak will have a small ratio of fat blended evenly throughout the cut to soften that tissue and produce better flavors.

This texture is important because the last thing you want is a tough piece of chewy steak that came from a cow who couldn’t flex his flavor muscles before he made it to your plate. I’d much rather have a $1 hamburger over that any day.

So when you find a restaurant or a chef who understands this level of knowledge to quality, you’ll most likely have an immersive experience that will feel like a class all its own; and those that know, know!

The same goes for premium cigars that get lit up after those perfect thick 32oz porterhouses and juicy fillet mignons. This top 5 showcases some of the classiest cigars we think you’ll absolutely want to flex on for an optimal immersive experience of pure class.

    I agree with all your picks, very solid!
    I would have also loved to have seen an Avo Xo long stick in there to round it out, but that’s ok.

    Great job guys!
