CA rated that stick a 96??? OH LAWD!!!!!!!!
[Reply]

I would agree with all of these statements...

I would go so far to say that the cigar he released this year, the Black Market, is a better than a Prensado Churchill.
[Reply]

Mmmmm Black Market :-)
[Reply]

Who is it from :-)

That's my #1 pick! :-)
[Reply]

Wow, I'm blown away this was rated a freaking 96 and #1 cigar of the year!!! I have had soooooo many better sticks than any cigar AB produces. The Anarchy, Undercrown, TAA, etc etc were all better smokes in my opinion, but I don't get paid to review these so I guess my opinion doesn't matter much. To each his own I guess. Alan Rubin must have greased some palms.

Never had an Alec Bradley, and much like Doctorossi, don't really have much of a hankering.
[Reply]

Have a draw tool nearby when you do, every Prensado I've had has had just too much of a tight draw to bother me while smoking. They have good flavor, but don't draw worth crap IMO.

You're on, Tom- Alec Bradley 'Meh' Club

You want "President" or "CEO"? :-)

He's great in 30 Rock and when he hosts SNL, didn't know he made cigars.

:-):-):-):-) right on Mac

I think most of Alec Bradley's sticks are solid but no way should the Prensado be #1. I think the Black Market is a better stick for the money, but thats just my taste.

Does anyone have a link to the top 25, or has the whole list even been released. I looked but couldn't find it. I'm interested to see what # the Undercrown is at. That is one of my favorite new cigars.
[Reply]

You need new math to see where the Undercrown comes in; it's at # [the empty set].
[Reply]

Looks like the NC is far superior.
[Reply]

I don't think UC cracked 90 in earlier reviews, so probably didn't make the cut of finalists for cigar-of-the-year list
[Reply]

while interesting, and possibly completely subjective, (smoke what you like, like what you smoke, etc. :-) :-) ) I would have simply placed this whole thread as an addendum to, er....


this?

Not only is the #1 anticlimactic, but all this discussion certainly follows along with the conversation you already started there.

I won't be smoking the AB anytime soon, either. :-)
[Reply]

What a crock.
[Reply]

I don't get what the big deal is. The mag is for wealthy, uninformed novice smokers so why would we really care? I understand why cigar makers care but no the seasoned smoker who belongs to internet cigar boards.

I will give them credit where credit is due. They have about 3-4 good articles in a year and they are mostly about Cuba. :-)
[Reply]

Someone needs to start a mag that is by smokers, for smokers. None of the "15 pages of **** nobody can afford", just smokes. Unfortunately, CI doesn't give proper reviews in my opinion either.


Maybe one day....
