Very Good-Rated Cigars: CigarScore 6.8-7.3 (2026)
Very Good runs from 6.8 to just under Outstanding — comfortably above the catalog median, and the largest of the upper tiers. These are the blends that review well without carrying a collector's premium, which is why the widest price spreads between retailers tend to show up here. If you are buying a box rather than a single, start on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions About Very Good-Rated Cigars
How the CigarScore is built, what a tier means, and what it does not.
Is 6.8 a good score?
Yes. The published scale only spans about 5.2 to 8.3, because every score is shrunk toward the catalog average by how much evidence backs it. Against that real distribution 6.8 sits around the top half, and the cigars here are well above the median of everything we track.
Why do prices vary so much in this tier?
These blends are stocked broadly rather than allocated, so several retailers carry the same box and compete on it. That is exactly the condition a price comparison is for — the spread between the cheapest and priciest store is routinely wider here than on scarce, top-tier cigars.
What is the difference between the CigarScore and a Smoker Score?
The CigarScore is critic-anchored. Where no critic has reviewed a cigar at all, we fall back to a Smoker Score built from retailer customer ratings, calibrated against the critic distribution so the two are comparable — and it is labelled as such, never presented as critic consensus.
