[Happy Idiot]

Love the melanio personally

 

[pbibby]

Again (and I know this is a subjective list. I actually typically defend them), I don't think that is the best cigar in the world. To me the regular Serie V is superior. How about the V Lance???

Ha. Oh well, it certainly gets people talking!

How Do You Feel About the #1...The Oliva V Series Melanio? Good cigar but i do not think deserving of the #1 spot

i feel like the regular v series is better and even the melanio maduro is fantastic but this one to me falls short in terms of flavor

I have not had the figurado. I only had the Melanio #4. I had a couple examples. I personally did not care for the melanio. I LOVE the V though.

I don't think any cigar picked at no. 1 would be a clear winner to everyone.

 

[3/5King]

Oliva getting first place love makes me happy.

 

[Happy Idiot]

Wha?! They no good? But I just bought a box. It's Flor D Las Antilles all over again. Damn you CA!

 

[pbibby]

Of course not. That's also why I always defend CA (most of the time).

That said, I also love that Oliva got some love!

Only one on that list I'd like to try is the Illusione. OK and the Historia

you're missing out....I think it's a decent list. Only one's I don't have interest in are the Monte NC and the Rocky

What I meant is only one I'd PAY for...sure I'd TRY all of em even the RP.

 

[Jmphotog]

I love the Melanio maddy I have boxes.. Great now prices are going to sky rocket ugh

 

[Sydgar]

I feel like the top 25 as rated by consumers (like the folks here) would come to a different conclusion. Maybe I'm wrong. But for example, I don't see many posts raving about NC Montecristo.

That said, I am curious to try one now.

I liked it. Actually quite nice. Top 10 for me.

I think you have to take any "top x" list with a grain of salt. Whether it be Cigars, beers, cars, watches... whatever. The funny thing is how revved up people get here for a magazine they never agree with anyway. Most here have probably never even smoked the Rocky Patel Royale, but yet are outraged it beat out Padron, Opus, etc... Not saying it's any better, but blindly smoke 700+ cigars and let's see what your list looks like. Again, I am not justifying any list, just always get a kick out of the "list outrage" we see every year. Any time people are talking about Cigars it's a good thing IMO.

Certain car magazine lists are better than others.

Lol, you make it sound like everything on the list is a Rocky and even he makes some excellent smokes. The new Super Ligero lancero was really good. I'd buy that Rocky and give it a ride.
