For the last 27 Years, David Garofalo has announced the Cigar of the Year. This year it started with 8 contenders and you the listener of The Cigar Authority. For the past month we’ve solicited your votes and on today’s show we will announce the 2018 Cigar of the Year. Did you vote for the winner?

In the first hour we will smoke C.O. Jones which is made by a former Cigar of the Year winner Jochy Blanco. His La Galera won in 2016. In the second hour we fire up the cigar that has become a tradition on the show before New Years Eve. That cigar is the Perdomo Champagne from the factory that won in 1998 and 2000.

We will have the usual suspects such as Versus, Offer Of The Day, Asylum, Classic 3-Way and Cigar News on the number one downloaded cigar podcast in the world.

The Cigar Authority is a member of the United Podcast Network and is recorded live in front of a studio audience at Studio 21 Podcast Cafe upstairs at Two Guys Smoke Shop in Salem, NH and as always you can find many of the cigars we discuss at http://www.2GuysCigars.com/.
