Since 1992, Cigar Aficionado has been the go-to guide for premium cigars, which is why we pay attention when the magazine releases its picks for the top 10 cigars of the year each December.

“Each and every cigar that made it to the top 25 is truly outstanding — with an impressive level of artistry, build quality and craftsmanship — and their producers should be proud,” said Marvin R. Shanken, editor and publisher of Cigar Aficionado in 2018. “We are thrilled to present these cigars, which we are sure our readers will thoroughly enjoy.”

To reach the top 25 list, Cigar Aficionado‘s tasting panel took the highest rated cigars from the publication throughout the year and subjected them to another round of blind taste testing. From there, they continued to whittle down the list of only the best cigars, round after blind round, until they arrived at the top 25 cigars.

That being said, we are excited to offer an event where you can buy the #1, #2 & #3 Cigars for 2018.

Join us Thursday, May 9th, and you will receive those 3 cigars along with another cigar to smoke that evening.  This is a rare event as it was hard to procure these cigars as they are highly allocated and as you would imagine, highly sought after.  You will also have the chance to buy other cigars that made it into the top 10 in 2018.

#1 E.P. Carrillo Encore Majestic

#2 My Father La Opulencia Toro

#3 The Wise Man Maduro Robusto

You will also receive a dram of whiskey and a 1/2 pint of K Point Beer to enjoy with your cigar.
