EGO Gold has the fewest vitolas of all our new blends at six very popular vitolas. EGO Gold has already garnered many best lists in its short life so far. Felix has blended EGO Gold for a Full flavor smoke that pairs quite well with dark wines, peaty Scotches and strong dark coffees. This cigar is not for the new smoker, unless one is of the adventurous kind. EGO Gold is wonderful after a full meal when one is ready to relax and stretch out with a great smoke and a favorite beverage. Try the Dias Del Oro, a 6.5x56 Gordo Especial, a two hour smoke that will fly by or any of the other Vitolas available.
Stogie Press, 96 points: a full body of flavor from foot to nub, with a centered burn cone and a crisp burn line throughout.
Suggested pairingDark wines, peaty Scotches or a strong dark coffee, after a full meal.
