The Most Popular Cigars

The most popular cigars in the industry

What makes a cigar popular? Is it how the cigar brand grows, harvests or cures the tobacco? Is it an approachable price point? Or, is it iconic and attention grabbing marketing? I’m not really sure. Probably a bit of all the above. 

What I do know is, we’ve been asked by many of you around what are some of the most popular cigars on the market. So, the whole Cigar World team dug into everything from reviews to sales and put together a comprehensive list of the most popular brands that are producing the most popular cigars.

Acid

Acid cigars was founded by Jonathan Drew and Marvin Samuel in 1999 after wrapping their own cigars as a pastime hobby during college. Eventually, they became masters of the craft and over the last twenty years have been producing some of the most impeccably rolled and some of the most popular cigars in the industry. Infused with an array of spices, oils, extracts, and herbs, Acid cigars are massively popular among new cigar smokers and aficionados alike.

Arturo Fuente

There’s no question, Arturo Fuente cigars are deemed some of the most consistent hand made cigars in the world, and that’s partly due to the fact that this brand started with Carlos Fuente Sr. and Jr., two of the most masterful cigar makers of all time. Arturo Fuente’s traditional blend of Gran Reserva tobacco produces delicate notes of spice and nuttiness, and that combined with their impeccable quality has led to them continuing to be one of the most popular cigars across the globe.
