The top 25 from CA
What do you guys think about the rankings this year?
http://www.cigaraficionado.com/top25/show
I'm surprised that the Camacho was #5, not to say it's not a good cigar and one I smoke fairly often, but 5th best of the year? The Airbender should have been higher imo. Power Ranger at #3 is kinda odd to me as well.
Haven't had the #1 - 2 - 8 - 9 cigars yet. Need to get smokin', though I don't think I'll ever get the Behike.

It's easier for me to say which ones I have had, and if I go by the specific vitola, it gets even thinner.
Torano 50th is pretty damn good, however I didn't have the box press. Opus xXx? #3? Meh. I didn't have the Padron 45th natural, but the maduro was a dissapointment to me.
I wasn't overly impressed with the Air Bender everyone raves about.
Casa magna should have been higher, but again, I've not had that vitola.
Prensado's pretty good.
I don't know, I just don't put much stock in CA's ratings, plus to rate something like the VSG Eclipse, just because it's a new vitola for this year, seems lame to me. VSG line, great cigar, stop rating it year after year.

Would the list be better, do you think, if it was the top 25 new cigars?Originally Posted by badwhale

Bastard!!!! Feel my wrath!!!!!
Yeah, I guess it is a new cigar....I kinda agree with Paddy, that I sense they cater to the advertisers.

I agree with you and the advertising bent.

Not that I am an expert in anything...But I don't put much weight into CA rankings.
The seem to give high numbers to advertisers. Don't get me wrong. I do smoke a
Te-Amo from time to time. But they cosistently rank Turrent cigars 90+.
I have had a few Triple Plays. They are not a top 25 cigar of the year.
It will always be a battle a day between those who want maximum change and those who want to maintain the status quo.
