Mi Amor Duque leads this twelve-cigar La Aroma de Cuba shortlist, tied on catalog rating with Mi Amor Belicoso and ahead on historical price. The selection spans retained original, Connecticut, Reserva and other groups. It compares recorded ratings, dimensions and reference prices, with current maker evidence kept separate from historical catalog identity.
What this ranking includes
| Catalog snapshot, October 1, 2026 | Recorded result |
|---|---|
| Exact brand membership | la-aroma-de-cuba |
| Source records / rated positive-USD candidates | 40 / 40 |
| Other-currency or unpriced group observed | None |
| Historical unit-reference range across all 40 | $3.95–$25.00 |
| Prices with named or linked provenance | 0 of 40 |
| Prices with unknown observation dates | 2 of 40 |
These prices are retained references, not verified current offers, MSRP or stock checks. Each selected pick below has a recorded price-observation date; the wider pool’s two unknown dates remain unknown. Ratings belong to the catalog and do not represent a new tasting panel or personal smoking experience.
How the twelve were selected
Eligible records need a numeric rating and positive USD reference price. Explicit name rules assign each record to its first matching catalog group. The method takes group leaders first, fills remaining slots in rating-descending, price-ascending order, then sorts and keeps twelve. Rating and price ties retain the existing shortlist order.
Grouping keeps historical and unresolved identities visible; it does not certify eleven unchanged current manufacturer lines. A lower-rated group leader can appear while another group’s higher-rated additional format does not. That is a defined diversity rule, rather than a claim that the twelve exhaust every worthwhile format.

The twelve ranked picks
Ratings, prices, strength and shape labels in each field list are catalog values. Length is in inches; ring gauge follows the multiplication sign. Catalog drawings reproduce retained size and wrapper wording, with illustrative colors and silhouettes. They are not product photographs or evidence of current finish, box press, component origins, availability or endorsement.
1. La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Duque
- La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Duque — Catalog rating: 4.75; Historical USD unit reference: $8.90; observed 2026-05-19. Price source: unknown.
- Catalog size: 5.25 inches × 56 ring gauge; frontmark: Duque.
- Catalog strength: Medium; shape: Robusto.
Duque shares the highest recorded rating with Mi Amor Belicoso, taking first place through its lower historical reference price. The maker’s Mi Amor page names a San Andrés wrapper and Nicaraguan long-fillers. Its 5.25 × 56 format is broader than the Belicoso below; that comparison does not predict flavor or smoking time.
2. La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Belicoso
- La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Belicoso — Catalog rating: 4.75; Historical USD unit reference: $9.25; observed 2026-05-18. Price source: unknown.
- Catalog size: 5.5 inches × 54 ring gauge; frontmark: Belicoso.
- Catalog strength: Medium-Full; shape: Belicoso.
The current Mi Amor size list supports this named Belicoso and dimensions. Its catalog Medium-Full label also matches the maker’s line classification, though neither measures nicotine dose. Choose between the two leading Mi Amor records by documented dimensions and historical price rather than treating their equal ratings as interchangeable formats.
3. La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No. 1
- La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No. 1 — Catalog rating: 4.70; Historical USD unit reference: $7.50; observed 2026-05-18. Price source: unknown.
- Catalog size: 5.63 inches × 46 ring gauge; frontmark: No. 1.
- Catalog strength: Medium; shape: Toro.
Edición Especial’s maker page gives No. 1 as 5.625 × 46. The catalog’s 5.63 is rounded; ring gauge 46 agrees. The catalog calls its shape Toro, which is separate from the No. 1 frontmark. Maker Medium-Full differs from catalog Medium.
The narrower ring gauge distinguishes this entry from the two Mi Amor picks above. The maker identifies an Ecuador Habano wrapper and Nicaraguan long-fillers but does not separately identify the binder. Its historical $7.50 reference makes it the lowest-priced of these first four catalog picks, without establishing a present offer.
4. La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Reserva Maximo
- La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Reserva Maximo — Catalog rating: 4.70; Historical USD unit reference: $9.25; observed 2026-05-19. Price source: unknown.
- Catalog size: 5.5 inches × 54 ring gauge; frontmark: Maximo.
- Catalog strength: Medium; shape: Robusto Extra.
Maximo retains its historical Mi Amor Reserva name and 5.5 × 54 catalog dimensions. Its connection with today’s Reserva category does not establish an identical product, modern blend or unchanged formulation. The historical record therefore remains separate from current Reserva entries.
The current Reserva page also lists Maximo at 5.5 × 54. Compatible measurements alone establish no rename date or unchanged formulation. Its 4.70 catalog rating places this historical entry beside Edición Especial No. 1; the lower price reference breaks that tie in No. 1’s favor.
Historical names and current evidence
| Retained record | What current evidence does not establish |
|---|---|
| Mi Amor Reserva Maximo | A dated rename, unchanged blend or identical current product |
| Mi Amor Reserva Robusto, 5.25 × 52 | Exact current format binding |
| Honduras-labelled original entries | A dated move to Nicaragua or a historical correction |
| Connecticut Diplomats, 6 × 52 | An alias for same-sized Monarch, or discontinuation |
Current omissions do not prove a cigar never existed or is discontinued. That boundary matters when reading an older review or comparing a retailer’s wording. Match the exact frontmark and dimensions before transferring a current line specification to a historical catalog name.
5. La Aroma de Cuba Robusto
- La Aroma de Cuba Robusto — Catalog rating: 4.65; Historical USD unit reference: $7.25; observed 2026-05-18. Price source: unknown.
- Catalog size: 5.25 inches × 54 ring gauge; frontmark: Robusto.
- Catalog strength: Full; shape: Robusto.
The current original-blend page describes Connecticut Broadleaf over Nicaraguan long-fillers. This Robusto’s 5.25 × 54 measurements match its named size list. The older Honduras-labelled Corona at rank 10 remains separate; their shared brand name does not establish that one record corrects the other.
6. La Aroma de Cuba Pasión Churchill
- La Aroma de Cuba Pasión Churchill — Catalog rating: 4.65; Historical USD unit reference: $12.00; observed 2026-05-19. Price source: unknown.
- Catalog size: 7 inches × 49 ring gauge; frontmark: Churchill.
- Catalog strength: Medium-Full; shape: Churchill.
At seven inches, Pasión Churchill is the longest entry in this shortlist. The maker’s Pasión page identifies a shade-grown Nicaragua Habano wrapper from Namanji and labels the line Medium-Full. The catalog uses that same strength label, but the named field does not fill the missing component details.
7. La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut Corona
- La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut Corona — Catalog rating: 4.60; Historical USD unit reference: $6.50; observed 2026-05-19. Price source: unknown.
- Catalog size: 5.5 inches × 44 ring gauge; frontmark: Corona.
- Catalog strength: Medium; shape: Corona.
The Connecticut page specifies Connecticut-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador and Nicaraguan long-fillers. Corona’s 5.5 × 44 dimensions are the narrowest ring gauge among the illustrated picks here. The $6.50 recorded reference sits below the original Robusto’s $7.25, while both remain historical observations without linked price provenance.
8. La Aroma de Cuba Noblesse Viceroy
- La Aroma de Cuba Noblesse Viceroy — Catalog rating: 4.60; Historical USD unit reference: $19.75; observed 2026-05-19. Price source: unknown.
- Catalog size: 6.13 inches × 52 ring gauge; frontmark: Viceroy.
- Catalog strength: Medium; shape: Figurado.
The current Noblesse page lists Viceroy at 6.125 × 52, rounded to 6.13 in the catalog. It describes San Andrés Oscuro wrapper and Nicaraguan interior tobaccos. The page does not separately enumerate binder and filler or explicitly call Viceroy a torpedo or box-pressed cigar.
Mexico, Figurado and Medium remain catalog fields. The maker’s current strength classification is Full, and its captured wrapper field says San Andrés without a separate country label. Older Ecuador-wrapper Noblesse specifications cannot fill those gaps. At $19.75 historically, this entry carries the second-highest reference price in the twelve.
Strength and wrapper need their own sources
| Pick | Catalog strength | Maker’s current line classification |
|---|---|---|
| Mi Amor Duque | Medium | Medium-Full |
| Edición Especial No. 1 | Medium | Medium-Full |
| Original Robusto | Full | Medium |
| Connecticut Corona | Medium | Mild-Medium |
| Noblesse Viceroy | Medium | Full |
These are separately attributed classifications, not measured nicotine doses. Wrapper wording also needs attribution: a catalog country label and a maker’s regional or seed description answer different questions. Where the captured page leaves binder or filler unspecified, the missing field stays unknown.
9. La Aroma de Cuba Small Batch
- La Aroma de Cuba Small Batch — Catalog rating: 4.60; Historical USD unit reference: $25.00; observed 2026-05-19. Price source: unknown.
- Catalog size: 6 inches × 52 ring gauge; frontmark: Toro.
- Catalog strength: Medium; shape: Toro.
The Small Batch page names Ecuador Habano wrapper and five-year-old long-fillers from Estelí, Jalapa, Condega and Namanji. It lists a 6 × 52 size. Its description of annual releases does not verify current availability, and the $25 catalog reference does not price a box or a current single.
10. La Aroma de Cuba Corona
- La Aroma de Cuba Corona — Catalog rating: 4.55; Historical USD unit reference: $3.95; observed 2026-05-19. Price source: unknown.
- Catalog size: 5.5 inches × 44 ring gauge; frontmark: Corona.
- Catalog strength: Undisclosed; shape: Corona.
Corona is the lowest historical price reference in this shortlist at $3.95. Its record retains Honduras origin and wrapper fields, a 5.5 × 44 size, and an Undisclosed strength label. Unknown strength remains unknown rather than becoming Mild or Medium through brand association.
Today’s original-blend page lists a same-sized Corona with Nicaragua and Connecticut Broadleaf context. That does not date a production move, prove a formal alias, or show the historical Honduras entry was wrong. The retained record remains a historical comparison with its original fields.
11. La Aroma de Cuba Reserva Divino
- La Aroma de Cuba Reserva Divino — Catalog rating: 4.55; Historical USD unit reference: $11.85; observed 2026-05-20. Price source: unknown.
- Catalog size: 6.25 inches × 52 ring gauge; frontmark: Divino.
- Catalog strength: Medium-Full; shape: Toro.
The current Reserva page identifies San Andrés Oscuro wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler. Those are separately attributed current line facts, not a retrospective blend certificate for every Reserva-labelled catalog entry. Divino offers a longer documented format than the historical Maximo above, with a different retained rating and price reference.
12. La Aroma de Cuba Habano Reserve Monarch
- La Aroma de Cuba Habano Reserve Monarch — Catalog rating: 4.50; Historical USD unit reference: $9.85; observed 2026-05-25. Price source: unknown.
- Catalog size: 6 inches × 52 ring gauge; frontmark: Monarch.
- Catalog strength: Medium-Full; shape: Toro.
Habano Reserve’s current page names Monarch at 6 × 52, with Ecuador Habano Rosado wrapper and Nicaraguan long-fillers. Its Medium-Full classification agrees with the catalog. The captured page leaves binder unspecified and does not support a triple-fermentation claim.
Monarch closes the twelve as the Habano Reserve group leader. Its $9.85 historical reference falls below Pasión Churchill and above Mi Amor Duque. The maker’s small annual-release description proves no present stock, so a seller’s exact frontmark, packaging and current price still require their own check.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which La Aroma de Cuba cigar ranks first?
Mi Amor Duque ranks first in this catalog-derived shortlist. It ties Mi Amor Belicoso at 4.75 and has the lower historical reference, $8.90 versus $9.25. The result follows the stated grouping and ordering method, not a new comparative tasting.
Is La Aroma de Cuba made in Cuba?
The current maker pages cited here identify Nicaragua for their lines. Older retained original-blend records include Honduras fields and remain historical records. The brand name alone does not establish Cuban manufacture or a dated historical production move.
Are Mi Amor Reserva and current Reserva the same cigar?
The retained evidence links historical Mi Amor Reserva naming with the current Reserva category, but does not establish a rename date, unchanged formulation or exact continuity of product identity. This guide keeps the historical records separate and attributes current Reserva specifications explicitly.
What size is Edición Especial No. 1?
The retained manufacturer row states 5.625 inches by 46 ring gauge. The catalog rounds its length to 5.63 and also records 46. The current maker classifies the line Medium-Full, while this catalog entry retains Medium.
Are these prices current retail offers?
No. They are historical catalog references with observation dates shown beside each pick. None of the forty eligible records has a named or linked price source. A current seller’s price, exact format and stock require separate verification.
