Popular cigars

Some of the most popular cigars are exceedingly satisfying smokes. But just as many popular cigars completely underwhelm. Just because a cigar is popular or highly rated, does not mean it is best for you.
Here is an overview of the world’s most popular cigars, including the good and the bad. Remember to check for authenticity seals when buying popular cigars, as counterfeits abound.

Popular Cigars – The Good & The Bad

Every cigar lover has a different taste, yet it is all too easy to be influenced by popular trends. Whether good or bad, it is all subjective. So, with that in mind, this list provides a glimpse at the most popular cigars of today.

Cohiba

The Cohiba Robustos is a beautiful representation of the world's most famous and most sought-after cigar brand. Cohiba is simply the benchmark in which all others are judged and the Robustos is the classic Cohiba.

Montecristo

The Montecristo No. 2 is one of the most recognizable cigars in the world today and one of the best. It is also the most faked of all, so check for authenticity when buying.

Fuente Fuente Opus X

Every Fuente Fuente Opus X is an expertly crafted treat, yet savvy marketing and limited availability have elevated prices to what perhaps might not be worth the hype.

Romeo y Julieta

The Romeo y Julieta Churchills are hugely popular cigars that deliver on a promise to be one of the best. Smooth and flavorful to the last.

Padron Serie 1926

A beautifully crafted cigar from Nicaragua, the Padron Serie 1926, has gained favor with many aficionados. Yet, at the going price and limited availability of the cigars, authentic Cuban cigars make for a more attractive option.

H. Upmann

The H. Upmann Magnum 54 is a connoisseur's delight that matches its popularity with a rich yet refined character. Great anytime.

Joyo de Nicaragua Antano 1970

A game-changer that helped launch the strong cigar craze, the Joyo de Nicaragua Antano 1970 series goes for power instead of refinement.

Partagas

A steady performer since the 1840s, Partagas continues to be one of the most popular Cuban brands available. The Partagas Serie D No. 4 is the ultimate fan favorite.

La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero

Another cigar that fueled the full-bodied cigar movement, the La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero, brings intense flavor and body to a super-spicy smoke. Enjoy only after a hearty meal.

Oliva Serie V

The Oliva family struck gold with their popular and critically acclaimed smokes. The highly rated Oliva Serie V garners mass appeal with a character that is neither bland nor adventurous.

Hoyo de Monterrey

Hoyo de Monterrey's popular Le Hoyo series keeps cigar lovers coming back to the beloved Cuban brand. The Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo Rio de San Juan is a top pick.

Macanudo Café

The Macanudo Café series has long been amongst the best-selling premium cigars, due in part to a mellow character that plays it safe with a muted body and taste.

Punch

Consistently smooth, balanced and loaded with deliciousness, the Cuban Punch Punch offers a wholly gratifying experience worthy of its lasting popularity and praise.

Lesser-known cigars

If you get caught up in what is popular you miss other lesser-known cigars. Many incredibly rewarding smokes are often overshadowed by inferior, yet better marketable cigars. Cuban brands, in particular, such as Por Larranaga, Quai D'Orsay, Rafael Gonzalez and Juan Lopez, offer serenely pleasing experiences that provide great quality and value.

Choose good cigars, not popular cigars

A cigar should not be judged solely on its popularity. It should be judged on whether or not it is a cigar you can enjoy. Why get stuck in a rut with what's popular when you can enjoy the finest Cuban cigars? Start enjoying cigars the right way and get the best Cubans online today!
