La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Robusto 5″ x 50

Mi Amor is the cigar that put La Aroma de Cuba back on the map. Cigar Aficionado ranked it the number two cigar of 2011 at 95 points, and it landed in the Top 25 again in 2023.

A dark, toothy Mexican San Andres wrapper covers aged Nicaraguan binder and filler from My Father, medium to full. Expect earth, cocoa, espresso and black pepper. At 5 by 50, the box-pressed robusto is the everyday size of the line and the easiest one to find room for.

Pepin Garcia blends it and his family rolls it in Esteli. Fifteen years on, it is still the measuring stick for what a San Andres maduro ought to cost.

Pairs well with espresso, aged rum, or stout.
