I have been smoking the popular Topper Handmade since the Nixon administration, and, I have to tell you, these top-quality smokes are as good as ever. Although, not the prettiest stick ever made, this rustic-looking stogie is surprisingly well crafted and very affordably priced. If you are looking for a classic Dominican loaded with deep earthy flavors of pepper, leather, wood, and spice, that is medium bodied in strength, listen to this old man and try this brand.
