CA Cigar of the Year?

Yep...Some do have more developed palates than others.
Glad I'm not the only one underwhelmed by these. As you say, dodgy burn and so-so taste.

In what way?
I'm not surprised that the Monte No.2 did so well, but I am surprised they made it No.1 I figured it would have been an NC just from a domestic sales and marketing standpoint.
Not sure I follow how it's a cop out, but ok...

f'k it, i would agree with old #2 over a prensado any day. baby steps, right?
and once again, my standard response: this list will NEVER be our list, but it is good for the industry, and it will make people look outside of their comfort zones, moreso than any other top cigar list. CA has a shit-ton of public awareness, and it does well to highlight different styles of smokes, different nationalities, and different brands. so far, we have seen a DE stick, a small small label, fuente (twice including the VSG), padron, cohiba, and davi. not a bad list to get people out of their comfort zones and exploring the wider range of what stogies can be.

I gotta say, I did NOT see that one coming!
I can only assume the selected a widely respected CC in an attempt to win back some credibility. "Pick the Monte 2, no one can say it ain't a great cigar!"

I don't know what 'our' list would like. Their is such a wide range of opinions on this board form guys that only smoke ass kickers from Nic. to guys that smoke exclusively CC's and every one in between. I have not had that Gurkha because I'm not a fan of the brand. I also have not had the Behike. I think the other cigars all could fit in someone's top ten. The only smoke of the remaining 8 that I wasn't fond of is the Davidoff, but I have several friends who love 'em.
