The month of December closes the year and brings with it the list of the best cigars: the 2021 AWARDS. Cigars in the 2021 awards have been selected over the past 12 months. The products that registered the highest scores in blind tastings and reviews were re-selected and retested in a new blind tasting. A particular focus is given to the new releases recently introduced to the market.
Since the launch of the AWARDS, CigarsLover Magazine has always divided the cigars into five categories: Cuba, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Rest of the World (which includes all the remaining producing countries). This is to give the correct relevance to each producing country. For each terroir, the five best cigars, those that have had the highest scores in the tastings by delivering exceptional smokes, will be chosen and named the best of 2021. The complete 2021 Awards will be published in the CigarsLover Magazine Winter 2021 issue, which will also include the TOP50 list and the categories Best Brand, Best Buy, and best Boutique Brand Cigars.
By clicking on the images below, once the cigars have been unveiled, you will see the product’s description and the review.
HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products were then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine Winter 2021 issue.
