Those are general descriptors when a line has Maduro (M), Sun Grown (SG), and Oscuro (O) variations within a line. Sometimes a line of cigars is to small or to similar to break out as it’s own brand or line, so the cigar is designated with the above. If a line is large enough and distinct enough they may be separated, but that is not always the case.
Our database shows many cigars from 1997 forward.
A brand is considered active if it has any cigars that are listed as active or limited.
The Wish List lets you bookmark cigars you want to try. Spotted something in the rankings that caught your eye? Add it to your list and come back to it when you’re ready. We’ll be expanding what you can do with your Wish List as the platform evolves. Use it when you go to a tobacconist and are looking around to remind yourself what you want to try.
My Humidor is your personal cigar collection tracker. Add any cigar from our database to keep a record of what you’re smoking, what you’re aging, and what you’ve enjoyed. Like any new feature, it will grow and improve over time — we appreciate your patience as we continue to build it out.
The original Top25Cigar.com (now affectionately called T25C 1.0) ran for years (1997 – 2008) as a passion project and building up one of the most extensive cigar rating databases on the web. Version 2.0 is a complete rebuild — same spirit, significantly more powerful. The full archive of historical reviews has been preserved and is accessible on every cigar’s page. Think of 2.0 as the platform 1.0 always deserved to be. Still a passion project, no desire to beyond that. Simply built by a few people that have a passion for cigars and modern technology.
