Cigar Aficionado Kicks Off Top 25 Countdown

Every year, SND sister publication Cigar Aficionado conducts a tasting of the highest-scoring cigars from the past 365 days to determine which are good enough to make their Top 25, and which one cigar will rise above all the rest and be named Cigar of the Year.

The countdown began yesterday with Cigars Nos. 10, 9, and 8. Today will see the reveal of Cigars Nos. 7, 6, and 5; followed by Cigars Nos. 4, 3, and 2 on Wednesday; and the 2022 Cigar of the Year on Thursday. Cigar Aficionado’s full Top 25 list will be published on Friday, December 16.
