Cigar Snob Magazine January / February 2026

Welcome to 2026 and our guide for cigar smoking in the first months of the new year. The heralded Top 25 Cigars of 2025 are here, ready to be discovered and, in most cases, available at your local tobacconist. This year, we’re adding more to the mix: our picks for the Best of 2025 Limited Editions and Best of 2025 Value Cigars, featuring some lesser-known gems and cigars that deliver both flavor and fair price points.
Inside, you’ll also find a one-on-one interview with Josh Habursky, CEO of the Premium Cigar Association, along with a curated gift guide and a few pairing suggestions. It’s a heck of a way to kick off this milestone year leading into America’s Semiquincentennial.
