Ive tried all but #6, and they all were great! Also I never put any stock into CAs top 10s because they are not I. To quote another fine member here on Cigar Asylum. "Smoke what you like, and enjoy it."

I am betting the Padron Family Reserve #46 Maduro takes the top spot.

The 45th took the top spot last year, and the 46th is an even better cigar.

La Flor Dominicana cigars are the best for the buck cigars, regardless of origin. Probably one of the best cigar brands.

Yeah, especially Epernay. Between the rest, how do you propose they place them if, according to you, they all spend big? Through lottery system for the big spenders? This horse has been beaten to death by now and has no basis in reality, I am speaking from personal experience. Please share your own personal experience with Shanken Empire mythical "ad dollars".

From where I stand the list above doesn't have a dud in the bunch. Air Bender is the only LfD I'd spend my money on and has decent complexity, the rest are all one note wonders to me. Epernay should place higher, but that's my palate preference. The rest seem OK.

Ogre · 01-03-2011, 03:02 PM

The cigars they have listed are good, but. I could see the placement by how much is scheduled to be spent in 2011. LOL. Gotta love the power of the dollar.

Bill86 · 01-03-2011, 03:30 PM

Never had many on that list, I had an Air bender not sure which one but it sucked.

swh127 · 01-03-2011, 03:43 PM

I personally enjoy the Air Benders, very complex smoke. Have not tried the rest though so can't comment on them. Also, I smoke mostly full bodied smokes so my list will be very different than the average cigar smoker.

I'm not a fan of Air Benders either, I like the regular LFD line much better.

I enjoy reading cigar reviews and top 10 ratings; however, I realize that it is all based on someone's opinion and our taste preferences vary. I use the ratings as a guide. Before buying a box of a highly-rated cigar, I will buy 1 and conduct my own evaluation. Fortunately, I live close to a number of internet dealers (Famous, CI, and Holt's to name a few) and can usually find the ones I want to try.

Drez · 01-03-2011, 04:04 PM

ive been wanting to try the air bender. i keep hearing alot of great things about it. im gonna have to try and find one at the b&m

BSB · 01-03-2011, 04:08 PM

I like the Upmann #2, haven't tried any of the rest. I like La Flor, would try an Airbender.

Cohiba007 · 01-03-2011, 04:14 PM

Think a Behike will make top 3?

Tredegar · 01-03-2011, 04:51 PM

The only cigar I tried on this list was the Air Bender and I did enjoy it.

Not the 54. I heard the 52 was good, so I guess it has a chance.

Adriftpanda · 01-03-2011, 05:01 PM

Let me sum it up for all you guys.

10-6, not worthy.
