From Cigar Insider:
There is no year-end compilation of useful cigar data and ratings-based information that provides as much insight into the industry as Cigar Insider’s annual Year in Review. It’s a comprehensive recap of every smoke Cigar Insider rated throughout 2021 and a practical guide to the year’s highest-scoring cigars.
But this report is more than just a list of cigars and scores. It’s a detailed analysis that looks closely at all of the year’s reviews and examines that data from different angles: by score, country, brand, size and price.
All the averages here were generated from our blind tastings, the same method used to rate cigars in Cigar Aficionado and the very basis of this newsletter. Highlighting our report is Cigar Insider’s top scores of 2021 shown below, but there is much more data within the complete review.
The information was compiled and calculated to provide an interesting cross-section of our ratings, as well as a meaningful year-end evaluation of the handmade cigar industry based strictly on performance.
No. 1 on the list is Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro Churchill – 95 Points. Also on the list is Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro No. 4 – 93 Points. Details from Cigar Insider can be found below.
