Cigar World’s Top Aged Cigars

If you need proof that things get better with age, just look at cigars. Aging can help elevate the flavor profile and overall quality of the cigar-smoking experience. While every cigar features tobacco aged for a minimum standard of time, cigar brands will often reserve some of their best tobacco for extra aging. Today, we’ll focus on a few of our favorite cigars with special aged or “vintage” tobacco. 

Macanudo Estate Reserve Flint Knoll

Macanudo has a long tradition of releasing quality vintage smokes, but the Estate Reserve series offers a richly rewarding smoking experience that is truly unique. Crafted with tobacco aged in French Oak barrels from the esteemed Flint Knoll Winery, this exceptional cigar delivers a bold and balanced flavor profile defined by notes of cedar, vanilla, and nuts.

Diesel Whiskey Row Founder’s Collection Mizunara

Featuring a Connecticut Broadleaf binder aged in Rabbit Hole’s rare Japanese Mizunara oak barrels, this cigar is smooth, robust, and easy to enjoy. A dark Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper and spicy filler tobacco from Nicaragua enhance its complexity, making the Diesel Whiskey Row Founder’s Collection Mizunara an excellent choice for your next smoke.

Weller by Cohiba

For the past several years, two titans of their respective industries — Weller and Cohiba — have collaborated to create incredible cigars for those who appreciate the finest things in life. The 2024 release includes a USA Broadleaf binder aged in Weller Full Proof Bourbon barrels. If you love whiskey — or beautifully nuanced and satisfying cigars — this is a must-try.

Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Series

The only thing better than Scotch? Having Scotch with Davidoff’s Winston Churchill The Late Hour, which is aged for six months in malt Scotch whisky casks before being blended and rolled into its final form. This smoke pays homage to Winston Churchill’s evening cigar routine and features notes of oak wood, dark chocolate, and fresh spice.
