Everyone’s favorite bracket-based competition has returned! That’s right –– it’s time for another season of Cigar World Cigar Madness.

The first round is about to begin, and it includes some incredible matchups. Fan-favorite Punch Clasico will take on Cohiba Connecticut; meanwhile, last year’s champion –– La Gloria Cubana Serie R –– squares off against Diesel Esteli Puro. You can see the full first-round lineup here:

Oddly - I have smoked all but 1 of these and I would vote for La Gloria Serie R to sweep here. CAO a close second.
