CigarsLover Magazine has featured a number of notable cigar industry personalities and famous persons on its covers, including Carlos Fuente Jr. (Arturo Fuente), Sam Reuter (Davidoff Cigars), Paul Rodriguez, Luca Montezemolo, Asbel Morales (Havana Club Master Distiller), and more. Cuban cigars were featured in the first pages as well, counting also the brand Partagás.
Annual awards and rankings
One of the signature elements of CigarsLover Magazine is its annual awards program, which highlights the year’s best cigars and spirits as determined by the magazine’s tasting panel.
Since 2015, CigarsLover has published a yearly list of the Top 25 Cigars of the Year[3]. The Top 25 list is typically unveiled each December in a countdown format. Uniquely, CigarsLover divides its Top cigars 25 by terroir, meaning it recognizes top cigars from each major cigar-producing region (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Honduras, and the Rest of The World, the latter includes all the other country producer) rather than making the list all-global. This approach ensures a diverse representation of cigars from different origins in the awards. Alongside the cigar selections, the magazine also issues annual spirits awards,[4] in which whiskies and rums are evaluated through the same structured blind-tasting methodology. These spirits rankings identify the highest-scoring expressions of the year across several categories, complementing the magazine’s broader focus on premium taste-driven products.
Over time, the awards expanded beyond just a Top 25. In 2018, CigarsLover introduced an even more comprehensive list, the Top 50 cigars of the year[5], published alongside the Top 5 from each terroir. Additionally, the magazine confers special awards for Best Brand (in various categories like Cuba, Nicaragua, etc.), Best Boutique Cigar, and other distinctions that recognize not only individual cigars but also overall brand performance in a given year.[6]
Major brands across cigars and spirits reference CigarsLover ratings, including Davidoff[7], Plasencia Cigars[8], La Aurora[9], Joya de Nicaragua[10], Foundation Cigars[11], Lampert, ADVentura[12], Gran Habano[13], Casdagli Cigars[14], Hard Truth[15], Kavalan[16], Reservoir Distillery[17], Kilchoman, Sans Pareil[18], and Grappa Nonino[19]. Brands citing CigarsLover awards include: Lampert Cigars – Best Boutique Cigar 2022[20], Casa 1910 – Tierra Blanca, 4th Best Cigar 2022[21], Macanudo – Best Honduran Cigar 2024[22], J.C. Newman – Best Brand (Rest of the World) [15].[23]
Magazine format and distribution
CigarsLover Magazine is a digital magazine, meaning its issues are published electronically and made available to readers online. Each issue is released in a high-definition PDF or flipbook format that can be read on the official website or through digital magazine platforms. In its early years, the magazine followed a quarterly release schedule aligned with seasons (e.g. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter issues).[24] As the content expanded, the frequency increased – by the 2020s, the magazine was publishing five issues per year, numbered I through V for each year.
