Rest of the 25 released. After such a promising start man did the list fall apart. Only 1 CC in the 11-25 range they should be ashamed. Although a few good smokes in there so many more could/should of been included.
CA continues to show they don't really know what good tobacco is. Congrats guy. At least Pete and Pepin got a few nods.
What a shitty fucking list they have put together! A fucking RP 15th Anny? Worst fucking stick I have ever smoked in my life! Fucking idiots at CA they are! Fucking cancelled my subscription last year, what a pathetic fucking list! A. Turrent Triple Play??? It's very apparent that the idiots at CA would rate a rolled pile of steaming fucking cow shit a 95 if I through enough advertising dollars at them. Triple Play is a close second to the worst cigar ever, the RP 15th Anny. Fucking idiots! I hope Marvin Shanken chokes on his next RP 15th Anny he smokes!

it makes for interesting conversation which is what a forum is for but that is it. The real problem w/their list is just how calculated and predictable it is. You can always count on just a few cubans making it, a Rockey Patel, a Oliva Series V, a My Father, an Opus and a couple out of left field, etc. Its almost likely its predetermined to have a certain number of slots for certain categories. It really brings into question just how random they are. They obviously don't smoke enough cigars which is ridiculous as they are a cigar magazine and should have people smoking 24x7. If anything push the top 25 back to end of Jan or early Feb to give them time to consider more cigars.
But again I take it nothing more than for interesting conversation. There are far better sources on the internet for real reviews

Sorry Pete Ambos Mundos is about the only stick you make that I don't like. Actually preffered the P series to them. Gald they picked something of yours to be in their but you have many better offerings.

That is consistency then if anything for them, the stick and the reviewers.
I think CA is making almost too much of an effort to include budget sticks in the top 25 because of the current economy. Isn't that what the Best Bargain stick category is for? La Traviata, Brick House, Camacho? May be ok cigars, but I think given special consideration due to price.
