Best Cigars of 2022
In making our list of the best cigars in the world, price was not considered, but you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that our number one cigar, CAO Pilon Robusto, is actually one of the lowest priced ones on the list. Also, Cuban cigars were left off the list since they are not easily purchased in the United States. Our list only includes the best tasting cigars that can be purchased at a local cigar shop or ordered online easily. Some of the cigars here are from very-well know brands, and while some are not commonly known, they are all from the best cigar brands.
You’ll notice the majority of the cigars on our list are from Honduras, Nicaragua and Dominican Republic. We have one cigar from the United States that made our best cigars of 2020 list (previously #25), but was bumped out this year. However, it still made it to the honorable mentions.
