Magnum R“Super Sixty”
The cigar I keep reaching for—not because it shouts, but because it gets the important things exactly right.

Why it’s the one
Big ring gauge.
Beautiful restraint.
Right now, this is my favorite cigar. The Super Sixty has presence, but it never feels like it is trying to prove anything. It is rich without being heavy, smooth without becoming forgettable, and flavorful from the first light through the last inch.
What keeps bringing me back is the balance. The smoke opens with warm oak and toast, then settles into roasted nuts, leather, and a soft cocoa note. Give it time and a mellow sweetness begins to show— salted caramel, baking spice, and a little dried fruit on the finish. There is enough white pepper to keep the profile awake, but never so much that it crowds out the quieter flavors.
At six inches with a 60 ring gauge, it is not a quick cigar. That is part of the appeal. The broad format keeps the smoke cool and gives the blend room to unfold at an unhurried pace. It is the kind of cigar that asks you to sit down, put the phone away, and stay awhile.
In the smoke
A slow, steady progression.
- 01
First light
Toasted oak, cream, and a gentle white-pepper warmth.
- 02
The center
Roasted nuts and leather deepen as salted caramel and cocoa emerge.
- 03
The finish
Nutmeg, dried fruit, and lingering sweetness—warm, clean, and composed.
Cigar Aficionado praised its oak, salted caramel, nutmeg, and dried-apricot finish.
The leaf behind it
Patience you can taste.
The star of the blend is an exclusive Ecuadorian Rosado Sungrown wrapper selected from the lower primings of the plant and aged for nearly a decade. Beneath it are Dominican binder and filler tobaccos. That long-aged, delicate wrapper brings the complexity; the Dominican core gives it an easygoing rhythm and dependable structure.
“It delivers all the flavor I want, without asking me to wrestle with it.”
The bottom line
My favorite cigar,
for right now.
Favorites change. That is half the fun. But today, when I have the time for one cigar and want to know it will be worth the hour, this is the one I choose. The Super Sixty is generous, composed, and remarkably consistent—a quiet luxury that never needs to announce itself.
For adults of legal smoking age. Tobacco use carries serious health risks.
