FAQ
  1. Brands Section: “Appearances” shows the raw number of cigars from each brand to be featured in any and all Cigar Dojo year-end lists, while “Weighted” factors in the placement of individual cigars from each year-end ranking. For example, a cigar that was ranked No. 1 Cigar of the Year receives 20 points, No. 2 receives 19 points, etc. All COTY placements from a given brand are combined, giving each brand their weighted score. Therefore, the numbers to the right of the graph lines represent number of appearances when in the “Appearances” view, and total points when in the “Weighted” view.
  2. Series/Lines Section: “Appearances” shows the raw number of times a cigar from a given line or series appeared in any and all Cigar Dojo year-end lists, while “Weighted” factors in the placement of individual cigars within the line/series from each year-end ranking. For example, a cigar that was ranked No. 1 Cigar of the Year receives 20 points, No. 2 receives 19 points, etc. All COTY placements from a given line/series are combined, giving each line/series their weighted score. Therefore, the numbers to the right of the graph lines represent number of appearances when in the “Appearances” view, and total points when in the “Weighted” view.
  3. Countries Section: Ranked by total number of appearances on all Cigar Dojo year-end lists.
  4. Factories Section: “Appearances” shows the raw number of cigars from each factory to be featured in any and all Cigar Dojo year-end lists, while “Weighted” factors in the placement of individual cigars (per factory) from each year-end ranking. For example, a cigar that was ranked No. 1 Cigar of the Year receives 20 points, No. 2 receives 19 points, etc. All COTY placements from a given factory are combined, giving each factory their weighted score. Therefore, the numbers to the right of the graph lines represent number of appearances when in the “Appearances” view, and total points when in the “Weighted” view.
  5. Price Section: Shows the lowest-priced cigar, the highest-priced cigar, and the median price from all Cigar Dojo year-end lists. The line graph shows the median price from each year’s list.
  6. Body through Status Sections: Ranked by total number of appearances on all Cigar Dojo year-end lists.
  7. Cigar Wrapper Section: This shows a simplified version of the various wrappers from our lists. E.g., Corojo ’99 and Corojo 2012 are merged under the Corojo label, etc.
  8. Complete COTY All-Time List Section: A sortable table that shows every cigar ever ranked in a Dojo year-end list, the cigar’s placement for that year, the associated company/brand, and our best determination for the cigar’s current production status.
