    Top 24 Cigars of 2020 | Tobacco Business Magazine

    More than 24 different cigars in four different categories were included in this year’s Tobacco Business Awards. These cigars were chosen and voted on by retailers, manufacturers and consumers who cast their votes to select the best cigars of the past year. Nicaraguan cigars led the pack this year, with cigars from the Dominican Republic coming in at a close second. One factory, Tabacalera William Ventura, manufactured two of this year’s top 24 cigars, one ranking in the top five. The ranking of this year’s list was based on the number of votes each cigar received in the Tobacco Business Awards 2020 online poll.
