Each year Cigar Aficionado Magazine smokes an awful lot of cigars. Towards the end of the year, they take the highest scoring from among the cigars smoked in the year and smoke them again, only blind this time and score them again. It is out of this process that the Cigar Aficionado Top 25 List and the Cigar Aficionado Cigar of the Year come.
For 2019, we have gathered all the stogies we could get our hands on into one super-premium cigar sampler. Richly gratifying for your mouth's satisfaction, it's time to see how your palate and preferences sit in judgment alongside those of the Cigar Aficionado Tasting Board.
While we do our best to procure all of the cigars in the Top 25 list, some will be difficult to get due to manufacturer shortages. Also, keep in mind that many of these cigars go on back-order at various times throughout the year. We're an honest bunch and we will ALWAYS update the list below to reflect any substitutions as we make them in YELLOW (just like this below.) Rest assured, we will always use the next closet size or blend we have available, and we are sure to disclose any substitutions that may be required so you will know exactly what you are going to receive when you place your order with us.
