2017 Cigar Trophies Announced by Cigar Journal Magazine
Cigar Journal recently announced the winners of the 2017 Cigar Trophies. Cigar Journal is the hands down best cigar magazine you can buy IF you want to read about cigars, the cigar industry, and the cigar lifestyle. Cigar Journal focuses solely on cigars, unlike other cigar magazines that focus on cars, golf, girls in skimpy outfits, etc. Now, we have nothing negative to say about these things except when they are in a cigar magazine.
Winners were selected via a two-step process. First, readers of Cigar Journal submitted their selections for each category and Cigar Journal selected finalists based on the number of votes received during the nomination phase. Next, readers selected the winners from the finalists of the nomination phase.
Cigar Journal announced the winners at the InterTabac trade show in Dortmund, Germany on September 22nd, 2017. Cigar Journal streamed the event live and you can watch the event HERE. The video includes all the nominees and a short speech by each of the winners.
