So my list is more like CA, as I don't keep it to just New Releases. I rate just about every cigar I smoke, unless it's like the 3rd consecutive. I then go through all at the end of the year, put the list together by the number, when there our ties then I go by memory and pit the experiences against each other. So here you go, hope to see a few more of these.
A few Honorable Mentions:
Nomad Therapy Maduro Robusto - I thought for sure this would be on the list. These are damn good, and I think you should try it.
