A guide to the best cigars in the world . . .
for those with refined tastes.
"Fifty" is the key word in evaluating, with the help of designated smokers, unbiased surveys and professional opinions-- which cigars are finally chosen for the year to be in this distinguished list of fifty.
We were sure to include a wide range of shapes, blends, sizes and countries of origin. Personal preferences were set aside during the selection process, as reflected in the diversity of this fine international collection.
These five criteria must be met to qualify as one of "The Fifty Best Cigars":
1. To be a manufacturer who has earned a reputation of excellence.
2. The cigar must be attractive to the eye and comfortable in the hand.
3. It must be well-constructed with the finest ingredients.
4. The experience should be savory to the senses & to the palate.
5. The product must be consistent in quality.
Most experts will agree with these choices, some will not,
but one thing is certain--
Any cigar in this list would be a great smoke for any occasion.
Seek one out, light up and enjoy.

Please do not ever add flavored cigars. They corrupt the quality of the cigar. Sure an Acid Blondie is nice to smoke but it is not even close to being on this list.

Yes, please add Acid. They are one of the best cigars for the money, period. The blondie is by far one of the smoothest cigars I have smoked.

Your list and descriptions are wonderful. I have a suggestion for an addition to the list. The Gurkha "Park Avenue 44" K. Hansotia & Co. Very smooth, mild, lite nutty, creamy, similar to the CAO Gold and Rocky Patel Edge Lite. Love the website - Greg

ALSO HOW COULD YOU LEVE OUT POR LARRANAGA, THE LONGEST CONTINUOSLY RUNNING CUBAN, AND THE DOMINICANS ARE ALSO QUITE TASTY. COMPLEMENTS FOR LEAVING OUT ACID THOSE ARE SOME OF THE WORST CIGARS I'VE EVER HAD. THE ONLY PEOPLE I EVER SEE BUYING THEM ARE WOMEN AND INEXPERIENCED SMOKERS. ALSO CUBA ALIADOS IS A GREAT BARGAIN, DON'T KNOW IF IT SHOULD B ON LIST, BUT DEFINATELY WORTH THE MENTION.

I think Acid should be on that top 50 list for sure. I have had many cigars and coming out of Nicaragua, you have some listed but not Acid. I like the Blondie and the little C-note is a great bang for ur buck! I do have a assorted box of Acid cigars so there are a few I havent tried but will by the end of the month. Im sure after tasting and smoking some of the others there will be more I would add to this list. Cohiba being the best and most well known...no doubt. Thanks, Eric Moser

I would like to offer a candidate for the list! The Island Prince Cigar from the Kaua'i Cigar Company. It should be given serious consideration.
