If you are new to the cigar world then you might not know about the cigar magazine “Cigar Aficionado”. In my opinion…This company has set the standard for the industry. 
The publication is a great resource for all things related to cigars and the high end products associated with “The Cigar Lifestyle”. Most cigar retailers sell the current and past issues. Pick one up and I’m sure you will be very impressed with the content. You can also subscribe on their website to receive each issue by mail (click here to be linked to their site).
Cigar Aficionado publishes a annual “Top 25 Cigars” that they announce at the beginning of each year. They judge each cigar based on a variety of criteria including: Construction, Taste, Draw, Appearance..and Price. The countdown has begun today January 2nd. It will continue as listed below with the #1 cigar announcement coming friday the 4th! Feel free to click HERE to be linked to their site directly. I will be making several posts over the next few weeks while trying the different ranked cigars. Please send me your feedback and photos as you try them as well.
