For $25, they can keep them. But that's just me.
At least Padron won it this year.

For $25 a cigar it will not be on my radar to try any time soon.

BTW, I bought 2 of 'em just before EPIC HERF II. We did a Puff Puff Pass. Wasn't impressed. Don't think anybody really was.

Re: Cigar of the Year 2009 is....
Siglo V tubo should have been #1. I can't believe the 45th is #1. I didn't think it was anything special at all and am kinda upset I didn't buy some better cigars for $25

Re: Cigar of the Year 2009 is....
My local b&m said they got one box and it was gone within hours. Even if they did have some left, I'm not sure I would have forked over the $$$ to try one. but yeah like someone said, at least Padron won.
edit: ...just looked at the list. Only two CCs in the top 10? Last edited by JJG; 01-07-2010 at 11:17 AM. |

Re: Cigar of the Year 2009 is....
I haven't really heard much good about this smoke. A few friends have tried them and said they are pretty much in line with the 64s. No one has been blown away yet. As I hear it, Padron's don't get much better with age, so I'm thinking they won't get much better than they are now. Therefore, with my $25 I'm buying a couple smokes I know I'm gonna like.
That all being said, I know I'm in the extreme minority that doesn't really care for Padron's. They don't wow me much.

Re: Cigar of the Year 2009 is....
I haven't tried this one. I have smoked several of the 1926 (nat and mad), 64s, and the 80th maduro. The most I would pay for any of them is $10. They are good, but IMO there are many smokes that are better and cost less. Maybe the 45th would change my mind, but at $25 I think I'll pass. As far as last year, the 1st release Casa Magna was much better than subsequent releases, but again, not what I would consider COTY.

Re: Cigar of the Year 2009 is....
That was my thought. Seems like the past two years the winner hasn't been all that well received. I was able to try the casa magna and it was very ho-hum to me. The first half was good, but the second half had very little personality.

Re: Cigar of the Year 2009 is....
The 45th looks like a fine maduro (right up my alley)...but the $ 30 pricetag is keeping me away.
