Top Five New Cigars of 2020

Every year when new cigars come out, we pack our bags and travel to Las Vegas and attend the PCA, formerly known as the IPCPR. All the industries titans attend and set up a booth showcasing all the new cigars they’ve made over the past year. It’s something fans and cigar manufacturers enjoy and look forward to each year. For the obvious reasons, the PCA convention was not held this year, so we couldn’t check the new cigars out in person this year.

However, that didn’t stop us from trying new cigars and compiling a top 5 list as well as a sampler for all to enjoy. This week we are bringing you our top five new, favorite cigars to hit the market in 2020. From Camacho to Drew Estate, we give you a list that was extremely hard to trim down, but totally worth trying out. Don’t forget to get the limited time sampler of the Top 5 New cigars below today!

Crowned Heads Mil Dias

Crowned Heads has a few limited editions that come out every year that could fall under this list. However, Mil Dias is this new and exciting smoke from Crowned Heads. Jon Huber wasn’t the only mastermind behind the Mil Dias. Longtime collaborator and friend Don Eradio Pichardo provided Jon with an endless amount of rich blending samples. Translating to “one thousand days”, Mil Dias is in reference to the three-year window of time it required to bring this project to fruition.

Manufactured at Tabacalera Pichardo in Nicaragua, the Mil Dias is a four vitola collection comprised of a Nicaraguan binder, filler tobaccos from Nicaragua, Peru, and Costa Rica, finishing with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Mixed with modern luxury and iconic tradition, the end result is a profile where heritage meets the future. Jon Huber states that the Mil Dias represents the journey of his relationship with Don Eradio Pichardo, as well as highlighting the fruitfulness of their strategic alliance. As cigar lovers, we are grateful that Don Eradio Pichardo granted Jon Huber the delicious tobaccos that ultimately led to the Mil Dias.
