The 10 Best Earthy Cigars for 2022

When we talk about the tasting notes of many premium cigars, you’ll find countless smokers, reviewers as well as brands mentioning earthy flavors. It’s because many top-rated brands as well as boutique cigar brands grow some of their highest quality tobacco in places like Ecuador, which have loads of nutrient-rich volcanic soil. 

Because of this soil makeup, and due to the cultivation, harvesting and fermenting tactics of the growers, the cigars will obtain an earthy taste and a unique balance of the cigar.

The Cigar World team wanted to celebrate earthy cigars in all their wonder, that’s why we’ve put together a list of the 10 best earthy cigars for 2022. Enjoy, and let us know your favorites in the comments below!
