December is a month that signifies the end of the year, bringing with it a sense of finality and closure. It's a month filled with festivities and celebrations, but also a time for reflection and planning for the future.
One highlight of December is the unveiling of the Cigar Aficionado Hall of Fame's new class of inductees. This year's honorees include Ernesto Padilla, who has been creating high-quality cigars for over two decades. The website also features a fascinating story about cigars and their unlikely, but pivotal, role in history.
Cigar enthusiasts will be pleased to know that December brings the announcement of the Cigar of the Year for 2022. This honor is highly coveted in the industry, and the announcement is eagerly anticipated by aficionados around the world. In preparation for this announcement, Cigar Journal is publishing a series of articles throughout the month looking at the 15 must-read articles from the past year.
For many cigar manufacturers, December is a busy month of product releases. One manufacturer garnering attention this year is Great Wall Cigar, with details of their new releases being revealed in January 2024. This is a significant event in the cigar industry, as Great Wall Cigar has been producing high-quality cigars for over a century.
Davidoff is also set to make waves this December with the release of their 2022 Chinese New Year cigar. This cigar features a 52 x 5 Piramide, a figurado shape not seen on a Davidoff Chinese New Year release since 2015.
