Q:          How do companies decide their cigar of the year?

A:           Some companies like Cigar Dojo only consider newly released, non-limited-edition cigars in their ranking. Meaning the Premium Cigars that they pick are truly what they deem to be the (New) Cigar of the Year.

Q:          Are the Cigars of the Year rare?

A:           Yes and no. While these cigars are usually not produced on a limited production basis, getting ranked in one of these esteemed lists greatly increases demand, making them harder to obtain! Payless is happy to offer Cigars of the Year from years past as well so you can make sure to try as many of these premium cigars as possible!
