A boutique cigar is one that (correct me if I'm wrong)fewer than 100,000 sticks per year are made. Either 100,00 or 1,000,000(?). Tatuaje or Illusione are examples of boutique brands. |
Like many things in the cigar world, "boutique cigar" and "boutique cigar maker" are somewhat ambiguous.
While I am not saying that the hard number is incorrect, I personally have never heard any official number attached to what defines a boutique cigar or boutique maker.
The most common traits often found among those manufacturers and makers considered boutique is being very unique and small, but even this sometimes comes into question.
