There are many awards, but only a few are conferred by you, the consumers. The greater the suspense today, on Thursday, September 18 2025, when the winners of the coveted public awards were announced in the presence of the biggest names of the industry.

To determine the shortlists our readers were asked to nominate their top-candidates in the categories Best Brand, Best Cigar, Best Value, Best Boutique Brand, Best Accessory, and Best Lounge and then to determine the winner from the top five. We are particularly pleased that the public awards are enjoying unwavering growth and popularity with cigar smokers from all over the world.

Rated by the Cigar Journal tasting panel, blind, on the 100-point scale.
