Selected by Cigar Aficionado as the 2016 #15 Cigar Of The Year – Rated 93
Me no like the name RoMa Craft CroMagnon Anthropology cigar. Too long. Too hard to say. Me call it Cro. Or Mag. Either way, mmmm, good smoke. Friend smoke. Happy smoke. Good humans at RoMa know what I like, know how to make fine sticks of yummy tobacco. Search like hunters over faraway places to bring just right leaves back for extended rest. Mystic places like Connecticut for wrappers dark as night. A land across deep waters named Cameroon for binders that hide like sneaky rabbits between the outside world and the deep. Epic journeys to three Nicaraguan temples of longleaf where the magic words of ‘Viso’ and ‘Seco’ and ‘Ligero’ summon ancient forces of powerful flavor.
The RoMa Craft CroMagnon Anthropology cigar is a totem. A talisman that guides you into the past, where craftsmanship and pride reign supreme, while at the same time leading you into a future where enlightenment awaits. Heavy with a weight and bearing beyond it aged years, you will marvel at the ingenuity and skill of the human hands that created each perfect vitola. Rich with the tastes of smoky mesquite, well-worn leather, coffee bean, exotic vanilla, and ripe stone fruit, each passing moment spent with a lit cigar will seem a lifetime of satisfaction.
A top-15 for 2016, from the moment you first puff a RoMa Craft CroMagnon Anthropology your way of both tasting and thinking about cigars, will evolve. Even if your experience is previously limited to ‘good’ or ‘bad’ smokes, or even just ‘happy’ ones, future you will marvel at a depth of available flavor buried within each of these 93-rated cigars and will find yourself standing at the dawn of a new era of enjoyment. If nothing else, you will find no better finale after a delicious meal of roasted mammoth.
