CA simply cannot be taken seriously anymore.

That is the thing that shocked me the most on Saturday when the FRHs were sitting talking about the lame top 10 lol...

The only 3 in the top 10 I really agreed with were the DOn carlos, padron 80th, and short churchill. But I am of the mindset at least 5 of these stogs should have been ISOMs. Just my opinion though.

I went through two boxes of the Xikar Defiance Guardian last year while in Iraq. It's a great smoke and, for me at least, deserves its spot on the list.

If anyone really wants, my local B&M has a lot of the Casa Magna Robusto for $6.50. Didn't buy one, as the belicoso didn't do anything for me a month ago, but these did look more dark and rich.
I smoked the DPG MyFather ($14.50)... DPG wins out everytime.

Just checked the rankings for the first time last night, and boy, that was a great call, Ted! I sampled this stick at an Ashton event in Nashville a few months ago and I'm hooked...this is a fantastic cigar and I couldn't be any happier to see them turn to Mr. Pepin to provide yet another outstanding blend.

I smoked one of these this past weekend and I really enjoyed it.
