Upmann Sir Winston is 7 x 43 and makes it one of the biggest cigars on the top 10 list of 2008. If you have a lot of time to smoke a cigar then perhaps you can give this one a smoke. This cigar is rolled in Havana, Cuba and, like most cuban cigars, ranks highly with any cigar smoker.

The cigar retails out at about $21.00 per cigar and that’s not typically what most cigar smokers want to pay for a cigar.
