Cigar of the year 2020

The cigar industry has been thriving for centuries, and every year brings new blends and brands to the market. Cigar Aficionado, a popular magazine known for its in-depth reviews and ratings of cigars, releases an annual list of the top 25 cigars of the year. The list spans from 2004 to 2022, with each year showcasing the best cigars in the industry.

In 2020, the top cigar of the year was revealed to be the EP Carrillo Pledge Prequel. This cigar, made by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, received a rating of 96 points and was praised for its complex flavor profile and excellent construction. The Pledge Prequel is a medium-bodied cigar with notes of cocoa, coffee, and spices.

Along with the top cigar of the year, Cigar Aficionado also released a list of the best buys of 2020. These cigars may not have been the highest-rated, but they provide excellent value for their price. Some of the best buys of 2020 include the Liga Privada Unico Serie Year of the Rat and the Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Sun Grown.

It's worth noting that the top cigars of each year are not limited to Cuban cigars. While Cuban cigars are certainly popular among cigar enthusiasts, many non-Cuban brands have been able to compete with or even surpass Cuban cigars in terms of quality and flavor.

Overall, 2020 was a great year for cigars, with many excellent blends hitting the market. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or a newcomer to the world of cigars, there's never been a better time to explore the vast array of options available.
