December 30, 2009 By Adam 4 Comments

Man what a great year to be a Cigar Enthusiast. 2009 saw a great year of outstanding cigars and our Top 25 list was extremely hard to narrow down with all the great cigars that we have reviewed this year. Now, I have not been in the cigar industry for very long but it is hard to imagine a better year in cigars than 2009.

Some of my personal achievements in the world of cigars this year is of course is staring this website that I truly believe to be a great asset to Cigar Enthusiast everywhere. I also became a tobacconist this year working part-time at Titletown Tobacco in Green Bay, WI.

Enough about me already, let me explain the list. This list is comprised of cigars that I have smoked and reviewed this year. Even though I only started this gig in May this list is a full year of cigars and I made sure to review cigars that I knew would make this list so the list would be complete. The cigars on the list weren’t necessarily released in 2009 but a good majority of them were. Without further hindrance here is Fire Up That Cigar’s Top 25 Cigars of 2009.

1. Tatuaje Reserva J21 – My favorite cigar, what can I say this cigar is quite simply amazing.
2. Viaje Holiday Blend – A limited release cigar but another amazing cigar
