The Magic 8 Ball has been shaken, and the future is hazy… but that’s never stopped us before. In this episode of Cigars Daily LIVE, we’re peering into 2026 to make our boldest cigar predictions yet. From industry trends and upcoming projects to award-season guesses and long-shot prophecies, this is our chance to call our shots and see what the next year might hold for cigar lovers.
We’ll talk about where the industry feels like it’s headed, which brands could have breakout years, what kinds of cigars might dominate conversations, and what surprises could be lurking just around the corner. Some of these calls will be educated guesses, some will be wild speculation — and all of them are up for debate.
Bring your own predictions, drop them in the chat, and let’s see whose crystal ball is clearest when 2026 finally rolls around.
