Only 2 out of the 9 best cigars in the world are Cuban, according to them. The rest of the list reads like a list of their advertisers.

Don't forget that Altadis owns 50% of Habanos SA, so technically all of the top 10 are advertisers

Well, presumably, the 9 best would be #1 - 9. So far, we've seen #2 - 10. Maybe first place will go to a tie between 13 different Habanos vitolas.

To be fair to them, it also reads a hell of a lot like a lot of other year-end top 10 lists I've seen on major blogs and review sites around the Web.

What a waste of letters, really. It's nice that Rocky is cranking out world class cigars, though.

I would FAR rather see Brook's top ten. By a longshot.

I have tried the Colorado and personally I prefer the Oscuro. A lot more pepper and spice, not really stronger just different, in a good way.

Cabaiguan Guapo


I believe a B&M I was at recently has these. I may have to grab some next trip.
I smoked the Warlock and while it was a good smoke it shouldn't be anywhere near top ten!

PSP2's are good. Rest of the list...meh.

I'm betting they give #1 to the Cohiba 1966. Even though most reviews weren't great so maybe it will be some random NC.
