Cigar Samplers
Background & Perspective: Cigar Aficionado has published about 15,000 cigar ratings since 1992. On average a cigar that gets rated 95 or higher (out of 100) is in a rare class. Here are the key facts: (1) Only 1 in every 250 rated cigars scores a 95 or higher; (2) Only 1 in every 1000 rated cigars scores a 96 or higher; (3) Only 1 in every 2,500 rated cigars scores a 97 or higher; (4) Only 1 in every 7,500 rated cigars scores a 98 or higher. Only twice has a cigar scored higher than 97, once this year and once in 1992!
