Concept
This list is meant to represent the cigars with the best value (bang for the buck), not the best low cost cigars. The way that we determined value was by taking our Cost/Point Ratio, which is calculated by dividing the MSRP of the cigar by the score, and subtracting that ratio from the score. The number that this generates is the gap between the score and the Cost/Point Ratio. The higher the value score the better.
To read the full review on any of these cigars, just click on the cigar name.
There are links to each reviewers list below the singular list to show full transparency.
