Company Awards
Best Boutique Company of the Year
Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust has continued to put out excellent cigars year after year. Every release from this company is box-worthy, and 2018 has been another year of hits. They claimed two spots on CutLightSmoke’s Top 25 including #1 cigar of 2018 with Sin Compromiso and the #1 spot on the iROBUSTO Community Top 25 list. They are leading the cigar industry in a direction all cigar smokers should appreciate.
Best Big Dog of the Year
Drew Estate Cigars killed it in 2018. We saw excellent additions to the Liga Privada line and tons of other new releases. The Joya de Nicragua side of the company blew it out of the water with the Cinco Decadas, and the infused sector saw some new options. They came out swinging, and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed the new offerings we’ve smoked and reviewed.
Most Affordable Company of the Year
This one goes to General Cigar – hands down the best value of the year. Aside from the newest Cohiba, most of their huge 2018 portfolio fell in the $6-8 range for some very tasty cigars. They’ve put out some great stuff the last few years and produced excellent collaborations.
