What’s the difference between “historic reviews” and “current reviews”?
Historic or Archival Reviews are drawn from our historical database, which spans decades of cigar ratings collected from the first run of Top25Cigar from 1997 to 2008. These reviews were written by past contributors and are preserved here as part of our commitment to building the most comprehensive cigar record available. They are marked with a 📜 icon so you always know what you’re looking at.
Current reviews are written by our active community of reviewers and submitted directly through the site. These reflect today’s cigars, today’s blends, and today’s prices — and are what drive a cigar’s live ranking on the site.
For now, both count toward a cigar’s overall rating.
