Re: Cigar Aficionado Top 25 #1
You could be right. But in the end it gets down to smoking what you really enjoy. If a bunch of people try and like the cigars CA or any other publication puts out in front of the public then they provided a valuable service.

On the other hand (I gotta play Devil's Advocate here, John), if a bunch of people try and don't like the cigars that CA put in the top spots, then they have screwed us over!

Re: Cigar Aficionado Top 25 #1
I can go along with that logic also. However, CA does a lot more for cigar smokers then politicians, goody-two-shoe advocates and for that matter the majority of non-smokers put together. So I like to defend them from time to time.

Re: Cigar Aficionado Top 25 #1
Not so sure I agree with this year, but haven't tried a Casa Magna yet.
2007 was interesting as well, although a good arguement can be made for the Padron 1926 No 9 as well as the Montecristo #2. How the heck did the Opus Perfecxion 2 get in there though??? Put the Cohiba maduro 5 in there instead of in 6th place and it is pretty solid for me... I heard Rod Blagojevich had something to do with the Casa Magna spot this year but need to research further... http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar...0,2007,00.html

Re: Cigar Aficionado Top 25 #1
What the hell, I just ordered a 5'er of the Belicosos. I couldn't find any robustos.
I just hope they are better than a Cremosa. Wasn't there supposed to be a review of the cigar in this thread??? |

Crap. I guess that means I won't be finding the La Aurora Barrel Aged cigars on the bargain table at my local B&M anymore......

Re: Cigar Aficionado Top 25 #1
I smoked one of these the other night courtesy of BeagleOne. He gave it to me and asked for my honest opinion, so I'll give it. It was a decent cigar. Good, but definitely not great. It was very one-dimensional, but the predominant sweet tobacco flavor was pleasant. It got pretty boring toward the end and I let it go out in its last third. I think he said that his experience pretty much mirrored mine.
I appreciate the opportunity to smoke it and can understand why folks would like it for the price. It just didn't seen very inspired or inspiring. The '00 Punch DC I had right afterward was much more satisfying.
