I appreciate the vote for halfwheel, however I'd put as much stock in our Top 25 as many other unbiased blogs (I don't consider ca unbiased, but that's just my opinion).
The main problem with ours is that's the Top 25 from what we've reviewed - not everything that was released that year. And of course, though it's averaged out from four of us, it's still our opinion.
Our Consensus Top 25 however...that's a much different story. Charlie painstakingly takes all the cigar blogs he can get his hands on (over 50 for 2012), takes their top lists, formulates everything into an averaged list, and then gets a Top 25 list from that. I honestly can't find a list that I agree with more of the top cigars than that one.
