Cigar Scores: 2019
Note: 2019 has seen the implementation of scoring criteria changes. The result has been designed to bring scoring in-line with the industry standards. In many cases, this has resulted in lower scores.
NOTE: Cut-off release date for the 2019 Cigar of the Year Countdown was June 28, 2019. The cut-off date for when the cigar had to be reviewed in order to be eligible for the countdown is October 31, 2019. The Countdown is inclusive of all nationally released cigars released in a two year period prior to June 28, 2019.
