Spain Rioja Rated 90 Points by Cigar Aficionado Magazine - A Rare Achievement: 90 Points at $12.
We are proud to announce a major milestone for El Septimo. In its October 2025 issue, Cigar Aficionado awarded the El Septimo Culinary Art Collection – Spain Rioja an outstanding 90-point rating.
A 90-point score represents an Outstanding Cigar—a distinction typically reserved for ci**rs priced far higher.
To our knowledge, recently no cigar at a $12 retail price has recently achieved a 90-point rating from Cigar Aficionado.
What makes this accomplishment even more remarkable:
Rated alongside ci**rs selling at significantly higher price points
Recognized for complexity, balance, construction, and flavor
Proof that true luxury is defined by quality, not price
The Spain Rioja stands as a testament to El Septimo’s philosophy: world-class to***co, precision craftsmanship, and uncompromising standards—accessible without compromise.
This is not just an award. It is validation that exceptional ci**rs no longer need exceptional prices.
