			CIGAR CLAN ANNUAL AWARDS You don’t fool around with cigars. And once the passion for them has set your soul on fire, not even time can darken the glow - which burns only brighter. For once lit, this is a flame that may consume your former life entirely, leaving nothing behind but smouldering brands. It doesn’t take much to start: just find a cognac that suits your cigar, then some glasses of the right shape and finally an expensive humidor. And within six months you’ll be changing your flat for a penthouse, buying a hand-assembled car, and moving out to a small island in the Pacific Ocean so that far from the madding crowds of civilization you can sip a rare whisky and enjoy a favourite cigar. The only thing that might cause the odd cloud to appear on the otherwise bright horizon of your life is the need to pick the best of the best so as to ensure that you’re up there with the real aficionados. If cigars have already managed to play their cruel tricks upon you, and what’s written above concerns you directly, then Cigar Clan magazine offers you its Best of the Best list. We have instituted an annual Best of the Best award so as to point out international brand names, whose philosophy accords with the way of life and the thinking of our readers. The first award ceremony took place on February 12, 2004 at the Big Smoke cigar festival.
