There seems to be a "Top 25" for everything these days, so at Cigar.com we thought it only appropriate that we
offer our opinion on "Best of the Best" in the cigar world. There will be no complex algorithms to rate cigars
here, folks. Our equation is much simpler and less scientific. When we rated our top picks for 2009, our panel
included five of our best consultants, a cold November weekend, a keg of Yuengling, spirits galore, and of
course...hundreds of premium cigars. A grueling task, yes, but someone had to do it. By the final hour, we found
ourselves hidden among a waist-high pile of burning nubs and empty scotch bottles, while Tim huddled in the
corner begging for us to end the madness. But we soldiered on, knowing our customers would be eager to get our
feedback on those blends that made the grade in 2009. Did your favorite make the cut?
Cigar.com Awards: Value
5 Vegas Classic
When it comes to value, no brand can touch 5 Vegas Classic. It's one of the most
underpriced cigars in the industry given its complex flavor and '90' rating by
Cigar Aficionado. While some guys out there spark their stogies with hundred
dollar bills, 5 Vegas remains perfect for those of us demanding premium, highly
rated smokes at a value-driven price.
Tastes just like it smells: delicious. Park Avenue contains a creamy concoction of fillers
from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. This mild to medium-bodied blend remains light
on the wallet at just shy of $3.00 a stick in a box. Now you can feel like a million bucks
enjoying a premium Gurkha without actually having to pony up the cash.
Reposado '96
You can't have awards based on value and quality and not include Reposado. Only
offered in one size, a beefy salomon measuring over 7 inches in length and a 58
ring at its fattest point, the blend's size outweighs its price. Available in
multiple wrapper varieties, this 'gar is a steal at $2.50. Jaw breaking, handmade
tastiness at an absurdly low price.
Best Value 2009 Sampler includes two each of 5 Vegas Classic Torpedo,
Gurkha's Park Avenue Churchill, and Reposado Habano Salomon. A $33.00
value sure to please even the most discerning aficionados.
