CI's Top 10 New Cigars of 2017

2017 has been an awesome year for cigars — dozens of amazing new blends have hit the shelves in the last 12 months. We saw big brands broadening their portfolios, boutique guys releasing fantastic new blends, and some industry legends bringing back some long lost classics. So this year, instead of following the status quo and putting out your standard "Top 25" list, we've put together a list of the 10 best new releases of 2017. And no, we didn't get anything out of this, we just went around the office and got all the most distinguished palates to put together a list of their favorite new releases, stripped the bands off, and conducted a blind taste test. The list below contains the 10 we enjoyed the most. So if you looking for some new cigars to try, we've got you covered.
