So with all the Top XX of 2012 lists that are published this time of year, I am wondering what new purchases did you make because of them? This can include new cigars that you are trying out because of seeing them on the lists and reading the review or just cigars that you are revisiting to see if they have improved after your last impression. This can be any list, doesn't have to be a specific one.
I've tried a lot of the cigars this past year that I've seen on various lists and have stashes of some of them as well (so obviously those are not included), below are the new purchases that I made recently due to various lists I have read:
Don't know if I would've purchased if a list did not bring it to my attention
*Flor de las Antillas - I have had one before and although I enjoyed it, I did not go out and purchase more. I purchased a few after they received the #1 spot to revisit
*Litto Gomez Small Batch No. 4 Oscuro - Heard some good things about this before, but never tried one. After it made Halfwheel's list and I read the review, I had to try it out for myself and have 2 singles on their way.
Purchased now due to the lists, but would've purchased eventually regardless if they made any lists or not
*Roma Craft Tobac cigars - I would've purchased these regardless, but since they made a few lists I ordered a few now instead of waiting a little longer (only had one Cromagnon Anthropology and like it). So now I have a few of the Cromagnon, Aquitane, and Imtemperance on its way
*Ortega Series D Maduro - again, another cigar I was planning on trying out, but made the purchase now instead of waiting because of it making various top lists.
