b) 4 cigars rated 93- 2 Cuban (Upmann #2 and Party Lusi Gran reserva)
c) 14 ciigars rated 92- 5 Cuban

So out of the top 7 rated cigars 5 were CC's and out of the top 21 10 were CC's yet only ONE (maybe 2) make the top ten? Advertising $$$ baby...
You may have a point. You may also be arguing in circles. If you contend that these Top Ten ratings are a joke, you undermine your position that the previous ratings are valid. Who is to say which rating was the right one?

Not me, certainly.
