Video review HERE.
2024 was a pretty good year for new releases. In total I reviewed 106 cigars. 30 of them scored 94 or above and that's where my Top 25 come from.
If you follow my reviews you can expect some surprises in the list due to head to head comparisons.
The reviews of each cigar stand on their own as they are my true thoughts at that time. Once you put the top cigars in a head to head comparisons things can change.
Click the name of each cigar to go to the original review.
The original scores in thirds is shown for each cigar along with the date reviewed.
So, with that in mind here is my list of the Top 15.
No. 1
Supreme Leaf Rothschild
4 1/2 x 50
(95-93-94)
Reviewed 1/28
Originally, I had only one sample for this cigar for review. It was actually a cigar sent to me by Aganorsa Leaf as a pre-release. So I did an "on the spot" review. The cigar did well and scored a 94. But with only one cigar to do the review I was somewhat conservative with my scoring. I typically like to have 3 cigars for a review to get a good feel. After doing the review I purchased more cigars and found I liked them very much. In fact, I have purchased at least 6 full boxes of this cigar. I absolutely love them. It was an easy choice for my Cigar of the Year.
