Israel - I haven't had the pleasure of trying the variety of cigars you have, but there are a few that stuck in my mind.....

- My Father, Le Bijou .....wow. What a cigar. How these could get passed over is beyond me. I'm a fan of the Petite Robusto and the Grand Robusto....what a blend.
- Padron '46 - A rather nice departure for the Padron family. Large ring, exceptional blend....what a treat. One of my "go to" smokes when I'm in the mood for a splurge.
- Tatuaje Petite Cazadores Reserva - Maybe "little" smokes don't get any respect (channeling Rodney Dangerfield here) but this little spice bomb is one hell of a small cigar. I think it almost completely displaced the Illusione 68 as my "go to" small smoke....almost....

I'll admit that initially I was a bit underwhelmed by the My Father Reserva's but the jury is still out on those.......

Cheers, gents - B.B.S.

I will have to give these a try, because like you I really like the Illusione 68. I can't comment on the others, as was very limited last year in new smokes I tried.

Of the cigars in your list, I respectfully disagree with the following:

My Father Limited Edition - just a blah cigar, one dimensional and pepper like none other
Tatuaje Anarchy - needs alot of rest time or something, smoked two, each from a different shipment and this was probably the worst of the "LE" tatuaje other than the Outlaw

Seems like Don Pepins have had the most letdown for 2010 IMHO.

This is a great inexpensive small cigar and it even has a kick. :thumbs:

 

[ClemsonTiger]

My Father Le Bijou Petit Robusto... AMAZING smoke. That would be on the top of my list for 2010.

 

[looking for knowledge]

My Father Le Bijou Petit Robusto was right up there in top smokes of the year, but I think the My Father #4 Lancero was even better.

I can understand that, Luke....I just cant' understand how a Camacho Corojo gets in the top 5.

Issy, I agree with you on the Camacho. Its the only Camacho I have smoked but was not impressed with it at all. I thought maybe it was just my inexperienced pallet.

I thought the EPC Short Run was one of the best of the year. The CAO La Traviata tasted like nasty ass, imho.

 

[w00ts!te]

Never had the Camacho. Only had the Triple Maduro and it was okay. Bought a box of the CAO's, still have them. No one wants them.

IMHO, Illusione and Padron should have taken the stage in flying colors.

 

[4cbln3]

I second that Illusione Singular, Isy! I ended up grabbing 2 more boxes from a local B&M just in case

EP Carillo Short Run and even his initial Edicion Inaugural (late '09) are top notch for me.

Padron 46 gets my vote too!

But, I gotta admit, that new AF sungrown 858 is like crack to me.

 

[ironpeddler]

....I just cant' understand how a Camacho Corojo gets in the top 5.

Isy, gotta' be the classic CA 'Give them a high rating to reward them for spending a ton on advertising with us'.

...and I'm sure Davidoff/Camacho does write some pretty hefty checks to Marvin


Also, imagine how much they paid to have Camacho cigars all over the TV show 'Sons of Anarchy'?
