Cigar & Spirits Magazine rates the Kingmakers No.1 toro
Recognition, Refined.
Cigar & Spirits Magazine has awarded the Kingmakers Persona No.1 a 93 rating. For those who know the craft, the number speaks volumes. It’s not handed out lightly. It’s reserved for cigars that achieve something few others do—a balance of strength, elegance, and character that lingers long after the smoke clears.
The Persona No.1 was never made to be loud. Wrapped in Ecuadorian Connecticut shade, its profile is deliberate. Cedar rises first, followed by espresso, settling into a rhythm that’s both smooth and intricate. This isn’t complexity for the sake of it. This is intentional layering. Every note belongs.
What makes the 93 meaningful isn’t the number. It’s what the number confirms: that this cigar belongs in the hands of those who don’t chase trends. Those who understand that excellence isn’t about excess. It’s about restraint. Precision. Command. For the Kingmakers community, this is a moment worth savoring. And for those still discovering us, an invitation—quiet, powerful, and unmistakable.
The Persona No.1 has spoken.
