Cigar Journal "Finest 25 Cigars of 2011"

[Nickerson]

Was typing this up for a responce to the CA top 25 for 2011. Thought I'd give it its own thread for discussion... This little magazine came with an order from Cigars International. So I'm guessing its a publication that they own and use to push product? Not sure but there is some questionable calls...

I thought someone said this used to be the European Cigar Cult Journal? Maybe I misheard what they were talking about.

Think only one of those is actually distributed by General(CAO OSA Sol), the LGC is a CC

Yup, however they got in's with certain company's like Rocky Patel, Gurkha, Cain, Man O'War. They are always trying to sling those brands. Plus those brands have advertisements in this magazine.

I find these interesting though... Never heard of them... It's their #20 cigar.

Yeah, this isn't owned by CI. It is indeed ECCJ, but they recently changed their name.

i find that all lists are "questionable"

Colin is a good guy and i trust him that his tasting crew actually likes these cigars.

im sure every single person on this forum has a list that almost everyone disagrees with to one extent or another. this is why most of the time i feel that lists of this nature are just crap as far as if i am going to like them. they are, however very useful in pointing out something that has potential.

Why is CI sending this out?
