Zen & the Art of the Cigar

Here’s where I will begin to collect from my soon to be many years of blogging, each Zen Cigar of the Year.

This cigar has to have met a few simple requirements:

1. It was new to that year.
2. It’s production run, even if limited, has to be available to a wide number of consumers.
3. It’s affordable.  The Cigar if the Year should not be a 30 dollar super-premium.

That’s it!

Zen Cigars of the Year:

2009 – Liga Privada T-52 – won both the readers’ vote and mine for Cigar of the Year!  This is an amazingly full-bodied complex and robust smoke that won’t fry your palate and will have you begging for another!

2008 – The Cruzado – Created by the mastermind behind the ultra-popular Illusione line, Dion Giolito hit it out of the park again with a peppery, balanced and extremely complex cigar.

Zen Limited Edition Cigar of the Year – a special category for the hard to find small-batch gems that make up the best tobacco and blends money can buy!

2009 – ??
