Binny's Blog

It is time once again to roll out the red carpet and spotlight out favorite cigars of the year. We have tirelessly been tallying the votes and sifting through hundreds of suggestions from our dedicated staff to bring you The Binny’s top 10 cigars of 2022.

Last week it was new wines, this week it's new spirits. Pat once again overdid it and brought too many new items for us to sample.

It’s that time again – when we announce our Top 10 Cigars of the year. 2021 was busy for cigar manufacturers, and we were delighted to see so many great new cigars grace our shelves at Binny’s. Each year, we ask our cigar consultants, managers and store associates for their favorites, and after hours of research, smoking, and deliberation, we are proud to present our Top 10 Cigars of 2021.
