Cigar World's Best Cigars with Spicy Tasting Notes

You’re not afraid of a little heat, are you?

Good, because today we’re counting down our favorite cigars with spicy tasting notes! If you love premium cigars with robust and expansive flavor profiles, you’ve come to the right place.

Check out the complete list of peppery, spicy, and all-around delicious smokes here:

Punch Diablo

Were you to create a “spicy cigar” from scratch, it would probably look a lot like the Punch Diablo. Diablo boasts an Ecuadorian Sumatra Oscuro wrapper and delivers bold tasting notes of red pepper intertwined with hints of cedar and coffee. Not only does this classic from Punch offer spice-lovers a real treat, but its balanced profile and excellent construction earned it a 93 rating from Cigar Aficionado.

Saint Luis Rey Natural Broadleaf

Saint Luis Rey has grown in esteem over the past few years, and for good reason! Our selection for this article is the Natural Broadleaf — a full-boded beauty that contains notes of pepper and spice alongside chocolate and almonds.

Bolivar Cofradia Oscuro

Let’s face it: Broadleaf tobacco possesses an innate spiciness that is difficult to replicate. And if you want a great example of Connecticut Broadleaf within a premium cigar, you have to try the Bolivar Cofradia Oscuro. Cloaked in a rich and oily Broadleaf wrapper, this surprisingly affordable smoke produces delicious notes of earthy spice and pepper.

Hoyo de Monterrey Rojo

A “spicy” cigar doesn’t necessarily need to bring the heat! Indeed, if you love vibrant flavors but need a break from the peppery side of things, consider the new Hoyo de Monterrey Rojo for your next smoke session. This Honduran-forward smoke is spicy in a sweet way, with dashes of cinnamon and molasses within a toasty profile.

Camacho Triple Maduro

Big, bold, and full of flavor, Camacho Triple Maduro is not subtle. It is, however, loaded with peppery and nutty notes that delight from the first puff to the last. Give it a spin if you want to delve into a dark and delicious smoke.
