It’s the first Cigars Daily LIVE of 2026, and we’re kicking the year off exactly how we mean to continue it: with hot takes, questionable choices, and a whole lot of fun.

Tonight we’re talking Top Lists as they start rolling out across the cigar world—what they get right, what they miss, and why you shouldn’t let a list tell you what to enjoy. We’re also unveiling something brand new and completely ridiculous: Billy’s Chubby Chicks—short, fat, unapologetic cigars that are here to make a statement (and probably a mess).

And of course, no great cigar night is complete without a few bad decisions, some laughs, and a lot of audience interaction. Whether you’re brand new to cigars after the holidays or you’ve been around the block a few times, this episode is all about starting the year loose, informed, and entertained.
