Of the four, I think the Liga Privada has the most interesting story. Of the cigars I'd actually want to smoke....stack ranked would be Illusione, Viaje, Liga Privada, then some Tatuaje. Like many others, I've had some great Tats' and some crappy ones.
Just mho.
So what makes a brand "Hot"? Good sales, cigar board chatter, taste or ones that if you paint them someone will think the subject of the artwork is cool and buy the painting? I think Cuba wins in all categories.
