Cigar Aficionado Top 25 for 2011

[JVB]

Am I the only one who wasn't as crazy about the Tat Taa? I mean, I like it, but Tat had a number of better cigars this year IMHO.

 

[Docbp87]

There will be a Fuente in the top 10, easily. Either Opus X, Anejo, or something from Prometheus. It seems that 2 CCs in the top 10 is the formula, at least looking at the past several years. Also expect to see Illusione, My Father, Rocky Patel, and Camacho in the top 10.

Never had one and probabily never will... Not a rocky fan. But the RP 50th anny seemed to be very popular and smoke excellent according to many people at the local!

I thought it was one of the worst I smoked this year, and the MSRP is like 20 bucks. Dog Turds.

Dont forget we just had these new opus come out also I think they might have a shot as well.

 

[Skitalets]

I think a Trinidad Robusto T will be in the top 10.. Such a fantastic stick!

Tat black PL are good as well!

Yet another great and well-reviewed stick that Habanos is deleting. :eyepoke:

I'd be a bit surprised to see any of the new Opus make it on the list, since they were only out for a couple weeks in 2011. But who knows!

Rocky Patel is a solid guess, and one I'm sure most on BOTL wouldn't think of. They always do well, whether because of advertising or their popularity. I chatted with a woman at Draper's last week who was enjoying a Vintage 2003 -- she is a serious smoker who normally goes for Padrons but said she was pleasantly surprised by the RP 2003. There are some good to great cigars in their portfolio, can be hard to find them at times among all the other lines.

+1. Rocky will crack the top 10 for sure due to myself and all the other brothers here who smoke them like crack.:hysterica. Then you won't be able to find one in B&M. Can you imagine when Rocky becomes HTF?

If you saw the latest Cigar Insider I think they only had reviewed one RP in their wrap up edition, and it didn't get that high of a rating, wouldn't be surprised to NOT see an RP in there this year.

The RP Winter 2009 was a fine cigar.

 

[thejavaman]

The RP Edge is a pretty good smoke, IMO. About the only RP I like though.

I am talking about the particular release in 2009.

Did they rate a RP Winter from 09 this year? If not, then it doesn't belong in this thread.

 

[vivalanation734]

The cigars that should make the list that won't..... Tatuaje Avion, Illusione MK Ultra and Tatuaje LCC.

Cigars that will make the top ten : expensive padron, expensive cohiba (BHK or 1966) and random budget cigar 6 people enjoy.

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Ashton San Cristobal Elegancia make it in the Top Ten.

 

[Rev]

Tat Fausto Avion or other vitola should be on the list.
