The Top 5 Cigars for New Years

As we get on the brink of 2022, we’re still staying warm and bundled up because it is still very much winter. We’re in the most wonderful time of the year—the holiday season—where things both cool off and get even busier at the same time, and we all get to share special moments with our families and friends.

The celebratory season, as per usual, will soon be carried over into a new year. So to help you kick off the second year of the decade with warmth and cheer, toasty and toasting, we’ll be giving you our top 5 cigar recommendations for new years.

First of all, let’s take a brief look at what exactly a good situational cigar for new years would be. During the summertime, most people would prefer to go for a light cigar that’s either sweet or fruity or both, whereas, in the fall, cigars of richer and bolder flavors naturally become crowd favorites.

However, during new years when we’re still deep in winter with at least a month to go before the seasons begin to change, the perfect cigars are sticks that help you brave the chilly weather. Fuller-bodied cigars such as Maduros, and more complex flavors that won’t bow to the cold outside—plus their complex profiles will pair spotlessly with your new years drinks.

With these two factors in mind, let’s move on to the top 5 cigars for new years.

1. Macanudo Maduro Gigante

If you’re a lover of flavor, especially those of the boldly sweet variety, as well as a cigar aficionado that leans towards big-ring premium sticks, then the Macanudo Maduro Gigante will be a perfectly satisfying winter cigar for you.

It produces a great, full-bodied smoke with a profile of mountains of rich spicy, chocolaty goodness and huge clouds of tantalizing aroma that will fill the room with every puff you take.
