Robb Report Best of the Best 2026

During the mid-1990s, Nat Sherman—a New York cigar-smoker’s haven since the 1930s—introduced the Metropolitan, an extremely popular go-to brand. Although the Nat Sherman enterprise no longer exists, a tribute to the original cigar has been brought back as a 6 x 50 toro by the Ferio Tego cigar company. The Metropolitan 30 Years is produced in the Dominican Republic in the same Quesada family cigar factory as the original Metropolitan, but the new blend consists of an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Dominican binder, and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. It’s decidedly milder, with sweet Asian spices and an interesting underlying dash of sour cherries. It is a perfect accompaniment to a Campari spritz. $13.50
