Excellence, craftsmanship and consistency. That’s what it takes to be named the best of the best—the Top 25 Cigars of 2015 in fact.
Cigar Aficionado is not new to the game of ranking the world’s finest cigars, with years of experience creating their Top 25 list, they know exactly what they are looking for. Cigar Journal is no different. After a life dominating in the European Markets, Cigar Journal is continuing to prove their knowledge with their Top 25 lists.
This year only 4 cigars made the Top 25 for both the Cigar Aficionado and Cigar Journal lists giving cigar smokers lots of choices based on personal smoking palates. (An * in front of the cigar name indicates they were on both lists for 2015.)
