The Cigar Trophy Awards 2022

Effective immediately until June 14, you can nominate your favorite products. Please visit www.cigartrophy.com to be part of this unique initiative.

The Cigar Trophy Awards were created as a gesture of appreciation – as a thank you for the hard work that goes into every single premium cigar, into every cherished accessory and into every feel-good oasis where we can enjoy a cigar in a pleasant atmosphere.

After the awards were initiated in 1998, the Cigar Trophies soon proved to be the most coveted awards in the cigar world. After all, it is the only prize awarded by the public in this sector.

The categories for the Consumer Awards are: 

Best Brand | Best Cigar | Best Value | Best Accessory | Best Art | Best Lounge

PROCESS

The winners are selected in two phases:

Nominations: Consumers submit their favorites in each category June 1–14, 2022

Voting: Consumers choose the winner from the shortlist June 27–July 11, 2022

NOMINATIONS
Between June 1–14 2021, passionados are welcome to nominate their favorite cigars (from various countries of origin), cigar accessories and cigar lounges. The top 5 nominees will move on to the final voting (June 27 to July 11 2022). This year, you can also submit your favorite piece of cigar art to be nominated for the Best Art Cigar Trophy.
