Don't think the 11's are better then the 10s (although only having one 11 so far gifted by you!) But man was that 2011 good! Def hard to compare the two. I guess both really good in totally different ways. I would be a buyer of the 11s if I can find some good sales later in the year on them. (Breaks my rule of buying really anything over 10 bucks a stick anymore) Really a great bold and complex cigar (the 11)
