Great list. Although I cannot attest to the CCs. I personally think the Tat LCCs were my favorite. The TAAs were amazing as well

Too many for me to really sort through. I will say the El Hijo was fantastic, and I thought the My Father LE2011 was a much better showing than the 2010 version.

It's a great time to be smoking cigars.

Within the world of cigars, you and I often agree :) Seriously, these are freakishly good. Plan to have one tonight or tomorrow night.

I think 2011 was the best year for LEs since I've been serious into this hobby.
:thumbsup: Really wish I got an extra box:frown: Might break down and have one this weekend.

Hands down the best LE has to be the Wolfman. I had not planned on even buying any after the last 2 years releases. I was gifted a dress box, and was real shocked. Smoked another one last night, and I was still in love.
