Cigar Aficionado Top 25 and a pretty cool thread jack.

[Thoughts]

Ima have to sit on the sidelines too. I’ve barely been able to get even one cigar a week in lately with work.

 

[Le Primauguet]

I'm in.

This is unacceptable

 

[CBoukal]

Should we just rerank most of CA’s top cigars of the year?

I think most people on here would agree that the top 10 cigars they ranked aren't even close to the top 10 in the last 3 pages of "today's smoke" here.

Yeah would not want to have you suffer through those selections, at least most of them. And what do you know. Rocky gets no 2 cigar lol

I'll be like Anthony and sit this one out from the sidelines, but you'd be amazed at my reviews.

Quit work. There will be an opening at a feed mill available soon, right @H. Vachon. You can smoke on that job @Thoughts

I don’t disagree, necessarily, but I do believe that challenging some of the dominant preconceptions would be worthwhile, so having some cigars that /aren’t/ on Today’s Smoke would be valuable.

Well all I know or at least think I know is.... Dan @CgarDan .... is... the Man! I can't wait to smoke his picks.

 

[cohibasurfer]

AND.... he did just shove Chad to the side and take over. LOL. Not trying to stir up anything you know?

Rocky far and away is one of, if not the biggest, advertisers in both CA and Cigars & Spirits. His trade event booths are always packed.. especially at Big Smoke. Anyone who's ordered from Cigar Page the past year got branded air packing pillows with Rocky's logo all over them.

He's also got his new Club Edge lounges that he's advertising everywhere. If he's not directly paying for Top 10 spots.. than he's certainly shown he'll gladly pay to advertise in your publication if he's treated well in it.

A little tapping on noses and head nods from both parties to each other.

anyone interested in reviewing these with bands on ? I will do that myself but would love to have 1 or 2 more people to average out the scores and see how that compares to blind reviews

 

[SKYDIVNEKD]

Ok, I’ll play if the offer is still open. I like the “blind” idea though. That way it’s an honest take. Dan, your discussion on the vherf convinced me this is a great idea. Thanks.

[smellysell]

I'm going to bow out, actually. Trial run with the hobo hut revealed much figuring out needed.

 

[SKYDIVNEKD]

@smellysell talk to Hayden @H. Vachon about what needs to be done to make it work. He’s in Michigan/Canada and has really cold weather with much snow, too. Good luck.

Wind is more the problem. Little buddy worked good to keep it warm.
