Broadcasting LIVE from the Toscano Cigar Sound Stage in Salem, New Hampshire...  Since 1992 David Garofalo has announced The Cigar of the Year and it is a task he takes very seriously.  There are lots of criteria based on the final decision and that decision is final and we have it for you today.  Today we announce THE Cigar of the Year 2020! In the first hour we will light up a cigar from the care package and it was a cigar that received a lot of accolades in 2019. It is a part of the care package; Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua. In the second hour we will light up the 2020 Cigar of the Year as voted on by many of the listeners of The Cigar Authority.  We will have this and all the usual suspects including Versus, Offer of the Day, Cigar News and a peek into the Asylum.
