FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 30, 2017
Well, as promised, here are the final candidates for the 2017 Top 25 Boutique Cigars here on Stogie Press. It has been an amazing year in light of the looming FDA regulations but even so there plenty of amazing cigars that hit the market. The fact that the FDA has extended the timeline for submitting blends also opens the doors for even more blends to hit the market in 2018 and we look forward to attending our 5th IPCPR this coming July.
As I close out the final candidates I would like to thank all the brands, big and small that provided samples for review. This year there were plenty of amazing introductions and the selection of the top was not easy to do. Don’t forget to tune in at midnight December 31 as we publish the final rankings and also mid January when we will publish the top Connecticut cigars big and small.
I also would like to thank our sponsors for keeping Stogie Press alive and keeping me motivated to grow content and informative articles. It has been an amazing year of growth thanks to our readers who want to know the opinions of cigar bloggers like myself. It is because of you that Stogie Press has shattered our growth expectations in 2017 and set a new bar for growth in 2018 and beyond.
Now, without further ado, here are the final candidates for the Stogie Press 2017 Top 25 Boutique Cigars, please note the total will add up to more than 25 because we felt compelled to include some honorable mentions in the final list.
