Which Champion Are You?

Immediately upon opening the beautiful, understated wood-grain box in which Savinelli's new 'Dos Campeones' line of cigars are packaged one is faced with a daunting decision: "Which Champion Are You?"

The 'Dos Campeones' line boldly takes us into uncharted territories as every box contains two unique varieties of these complex sticks; both the 'Coraje' - Latin for 'Courage', and the 'Sixto' - named for being the sixth blend by creator Steven Ysidron. The Coraje is a dark and robust smoke; to describe it as 'strong' would not be doing it justice - this baby is going to be claiming some Man Cards this year. The Sixto, on the other hand, is beautifully complimentary, a slightly more mellow smoke though equally as complex as its brother Coraje.


Cigar Aficionado's "Cigar Insider" has both of these blends rated very highly, with the Sixto taking top honors rated at a stellar 92.  Don't miss out on these fantastic sticks as I can't imagine they'll stick around long and, as always, stay lit, friends!
