Handmade cigars have been sold under the name Nat Sherman for more than eight decades, but only a few years ago the brand was one that was dismissed by serious cigar smokers. Not anymore. The Sherman family and Michael Herklots have revitalized the name, eliminating old brands, embracing the brick-and-mortar retail model and remaking Nat Sherman with the Timeless Collection. Crafted in the Dominican Republic by cigar vet Manuel "Manolo" Quesada, Timeless reinvigorated what was a stodgy brand. This is the third year in a row a Nat Sherman Timeless has made our Top 25 list. The stately cigar has notes of coffee, black pepper and fresh green apple, with a subtle hint of leather and earth on the finish.
