Coming in at #3 on the 2024 Cigar of the Year Countdown is the Casa Magna Colorado Lancero LE by Quesada Cigars.
The story of the Casa Magna Colorado is well known. It started as a collaboration between two legendary names in the world of cigar making – Manuel Quesada and Nestor Plasencia. Since then, the Casa Magna Colorado has garnered many accolades. Today, Casa Magna Colorado is produced by Quesada's TABADEX factory in the Dominican Republic. Late in 2023, the company announced a limited run of the 7 x 40 Lancero LE. It is worth noting that several years earlier, it had released another lancero size under Casa Magna Colorado.

Coming in at #4 on the 2024 Cigar of the Year Countdown is the Kristoff Tres Compadres Toro.
The name Tres Compadres means “three friends.” In this case, it is a tribute from Kristoff owner Glen Case to two of his close friends who recently passed away, Chuck Finch and Rolando Villamil. Case would often refer to the three of them as the three amigos. Rolando Villamil is a name that may be pretty familiar if you cover the cigar industry, as he ran Tabacalera Von Eicken in the Dominican Republic, where all of Kristoff’s cigars are produced.
