What should I look for when buying a cigar?

What does 90+ rated cigar mean?
Cigar Aficionado classifies the scores on its 100-point scale as follows: 95-100 = Classic; 90-94 = Outstanding; 80-89 = Very Good to Excellent; 70-79 = Average to Good Commercial Quality; and 0-69 = Don’t Waste Your Money. Scores of 90 points or higher get attention from retailers and consumers.
What makes a high quality cigar?
A cigar must be hand-made, with good tobacco, with a full leaf, homogenous and smooth and free of veins, well rolled; it must not sting nor be bitter in taste and smell. Cigar quality depends on the manufacturing standards, storage and aging process and on the fermentation of the tobacco leaves.
What is the cigar rating system?
