For over year I have had the idea of creating a Top 10 Cigar List, but I did not want it created from just my opinions. The great thing about being a cigar smoker is the ability to share your experiences and opinions of cigars with fellow smokers. The cigar culture, whether it be virtual or in-person, is such a fantastic way to discover new cigars and friends. For 3 years now I have been apart of The Florida Cigar Club and have created so many friendships since. 2016 has been such a great year for expanding my knowledge of cigars and enjoying the company of other smokers (Shout out to my brothers of The Weekly Tradition). A few months back I was promoted to an Administrator of The FCC and said to myself, "This is the year I will finally make a Top 10 List."
With the go ahead of the great Mike Palmer, I announced the first official Florida Cigar Club Top 10 Cigar List. Contributors had the month of December to tell me their current Top 5 cigars, which I then put into a Master List.
For the list I have had:
43 Contributers
215 Total Cigar Entries
with 16 cigars collecting three or more votes.
Now that the month has ended, the data is in.
The following is the official Florida Cigar Club Top 10 Cigars of 2016.
