Every year, during the InterTabac Show held in Dortmund, Germany, Cigar Journal magazine organizes its annual Cigar Trophy Awards gala. InterTabac is the largest trade show worldwide for tobacco products and smoking accessories and the Cigar Journal’s Cigar Trophy Awards night is a highly anticipated event among enthusiasts.
Cigar Journal invites its readers to nominate potential Cigar Trophy contenders across various categories such as Best Brand, Best Cigar, Best Value, Best Accessory, and Best Lounge.
The top five nominees in each category, as chosen by readers, become the finalists, and readers once again cast their votes to determine the ultimate winner. In 2023, the readers of Cigar Journal chose Oliva Serie V as the Best Nicaraguan Brand.
