“Dark & attractive. Well balanced. A rich, tasty smoke.”
Those are just a few of the words Cigar Aficionado used to describe the Defiance Guardian (Toro 6 ½ x 52).
Defiance Cigars by XIKAR just received a full “vertical tasting” from the expert panel at Cigar Aficionado headquarters. The results? Each of the four cigar sizes scored an average of 88, with the Guardian receiving a 91, the highest rated cigar of the entire Cigar Insider July issue.
