... and I hope that's the only Wild Card, if that's what they are going to be like!
Why? Because then you really couldn't include CC's at all as other the EL's and such they maybe release 3 cigars a year. Also I think then it would put too much emphasis on new or EL cigars. Many here complain about too many new releases already never mind the average consumer that walks into a B&M CA in hand. Gotta give people a chance at finding the sticks not quite like the VOR last year.
Well, I think it would make more sense than what they currently do. If it is the best 25 of what is out there....then it falls short. They wouldn't be able to smoke something from every brand, vitola and year to truly create the list.
Think they try to stick with what is available at the time. And as much as some of us may have access to Dunhills and Davi's not going to say most will. There is no way everyone will be happy with their format but I think the intent is the 25 best cigars smoked by them. With the # of new releases out every year and depending on how small and hard to find they may be you could spend the whole year just sampling new cigars. I may not be willing to even try some of the cigars that make the list, may not like the way they test but all in all can't come up with a way that would keep everyone happy. I am always interestested to see what comes up on the list eveen if I dissagree with 80% of it. Just goes back to the best and worst smoke threads here and how many cigars overlapped.
I thought it was #2?
