2015 Cigar of the Year-A Compendium
Below is a table with a list of the 2015 Cigar of the Year selections by various magazines and websites. While we don’t review cigars except for our own single Cigar of the Year published in early January, we certainly keep track of the selections. See below and enjoy. You can sort by cigar name, ranking, etc. to do your own comparison of the cigars selected by various sources.
Note that Cigar Journal picks a single cigar from each of the major cigar manufacturing companies.
We’ll update the post as other sources issue their Cigar of the Year selections.
