Cigar Journal’s Best Buy Cigars of the Year 2020

The best cigars at the best price. This is what many cigar lovers are looking for. We combed through our blind tastings from the year 2020 again to find out which cigars have received particularly good reviews, but are offered for a much lower price compared to others oft he same rating. We mark those cigars in our magazine with the stamp“Best Buy”.

The basis for our decision is the price per gram of tobacco. Those cigars whose price per gram lies significantly below that of competing products receive the attribute Best Buy. Note, however, that because we disclose to our international readers prices in US Dollars, Euro and Swiss Francs, where possible, it may happen that a certain cigar is particularly favorable in US Dollars, but in other currencies, on the other hand, has average prices.
