I first started this list nearly 5 years ago. I’ve done my hardest to keep the list current.
This is a list of 255 cigars that I consider the best boutique blends in regular production in the $6.00-$12.00 range released no earlier than January, 2012. Limited editions are excluded.
Unfortunately, a lot of boutique brands go under in a year or two. The list below have showed staying power.
A couple cigars go over the price range shown above because of the sheer brilliance of the blend.
Some will come and go as more are brought to market. Some of the Big Guys have limited production runs that would make that cigar, in essence, a boutique cigar…but I have kept it to strictly boutique companies.
The list is random and not in order of greatness. My brain would explode if I had to that….And limited to only cigars I have reviewed.
The sticks are based upon online store pricing. No taxes are figured in. B & M pricing is not figured in. Neither is shipping. Just raw pricing. Also, I don’t put prices next to the cigars because prices fluctuate from store to store. Also, cigars may be had cheaper on the online auction sites.
I also created another list that you can click on: “The Katman’s List of 199 Great Cigars in the $5.00-$9.00 Range.”
This blog contains reviews of all of these cigars.
