Tobacco Business Magazine, a publication of Tobacco Media Group (TMG), is excited to announce the 2019 nominees for Cigar of the Year. As part of the Tobacco Business Awards, Cigar of the Year has been one of the most competitive categories for the awards and a coveted accolade for nominated companies. This award is voted on by tobacco industry retailers, manufacturers and consumers. Last year’s Cigar of the Year winner was Drew Estate for its Undercrown Sun Grown cigar.
“The industry is full of cigars worthy of awards and settling on a list of just 10 for this year’s Cigar of the Year category was not easy,” says Ben Stimpson, managing director of Tobacco Business Magazine. “We turned to some of the top tobacconists, cigar personalities and avid cigar smokers to help choose this year’s contenders. Now we’re asking the readers of our magazine to vote and choose which cigar is awarded the title of Cigar of the Year.”
