no, frank, HE would have gotten number one, or else started turning people's balls to ice cubes!
So theres 4 left, one going to be cuban, ones going to be fuente, ones going to be LFD. So that leaves either something totally out of left field like Viaje was or it will probably be another Padron.
Which LFD? And I don't think Viaje as they were #2 last year.
Maybe he'll summon his inner "Warlock" and can take them 2 or 3 at a time...
That explains Pete and Pepins inclusion over the last few years.
Uhm... riiiiiiiigggghhhhhttt...
I'd buy a Viaje over a Tat or Pepin stick 6 days a week and twice on Sundays. More flavor and no draw problems.
It's pretty clear no one is taking the bait on your troll attempts. If you have something productive or interesting to share with the group on your thoughts regarding this year's top 25, I'm sure we'd love to hear 'em. But simply trolling for the sake of attempting to upset people having a discussion on what CA thinks are the top smokes of the year is pointless.
Hopefully the Colorado Oscuro but it will probably be something ridiculous from LFD instead. They had a lot of great releases the past few years and should have something top 10. Id be very surprised if they dont. At the same time the list so far this year is nothing short of embarrassing so who the hell knows what will happen.
Thanks for the insight... I'm giving the unpopular opinion instead of drooling over Pete, Pepin, Drew etc. and stating that CA are ridiculous because they don't love the sticks that you do.
Do you really think CA would still be around if they gave ratings for ad dollars spent? Ever see Davidoffs ratings in CA? Ever see how many ads they have? How about Dions ratings? Ever see an Illusione ad? Or Andre? Didn't he win #2 cigar last year? How many ads have you seen for Viaje? Who would advertise with them and what credibility would they have in the industry if they gave ratings for dollars?
It's all well and good to piss and moan your favorite cigar didn't make the list and blame it on they only smoke an inch but honestly its ridiculous. I have no clue how much they smoke but I'll tell you that if you smoke your favorite cigar blind with a bunch of other sticks I bet you'd be surprised with the results.
In that case, why don't you give us your opinion of what you feel deserves to be the top 10 smokes. At least others have been conversing and providing intelligent discussion. All you've done is say how much you dislike Liga, Tat, and Pepin and prefer Viaje's stuff. Great, smoke what you like and like what you smoke. How about instead of being pissy that not everyone agrees with you that Viaje > Liga/Tat/Pepin, you grace us with what you feel are good smokes and deserved the top 10?
Agreed.
Also, if you don't like our "pissing and moaning" move along to another thread to check out, instead of littering this thread, and getting it locked up.

And just to be clear....I wasn't saying that it deserves to be on the list necessarily, but it probably still has a chance. Even though I do like a number of Viaje cigars, I didn't care for the VOR last year that got #2, and wasn't too high on the Oro DT.

I preferred the platino DT
