Top Cigars of 2023
Now that all the magazines, bloggers and cigar media have released their Top 25 lists, it’s time for Corona Cigar’s highly anticipated annual Top 25 list. This is the most unbiased list in the cigar industry as there is zero influence of advertising dollars, no one’s hurt feelings to worry about or one person’s tastes and preferences to bias a rating. This list is based on factual sales data from Corona Cigar’s multi channel retail sales which includes five Brick & Mortar stores and our well established online/mail order sales department. So the only votes that count are the customer’s hard earned dollars.
It is important to note that our stores are located in large cities and in somewhat wealthy areas, so our sales are incredibly unique compared to the average retail store.

The biggest takeaway for 2023 is the massive increase in Deadwood sales. It proves my point that I have been making for over 20 years that super premium traditional handmade cigars like Davidoff are smoked side by side with non-traditional tasting cigars like Deadwood.
