wow...pretty harsh! LOL....I love the Tempus...especially the Centuria...and Tempus maduro lines.stephen_hannibal:
Alec Bradley is dead to me...docbp87:Rumors for number 1 are Alec BRadley Family Blend T11, Behike BHK, and Trinidad Robusto T. All I can say is that if the Alec Bradley wins, I'm never looking at CA again. It's a good cigar but IMO, not better than ANY of the cigars already revealed.
His stuff is mediocre at best."Long ashes my friends."

It should be around the $45 mark according to there msrp. That said I can't afford a $45 cigar either, but I'm open to charity. LOLKrieg:had a feeling it was gonna be the Behike...but really...who can afford a $100 cigar??0 -

I have 2 of these resting, I got not too long ago...I stopped in to a B&M I sometimes hit when away on business last night and they now have the BHK54 and BHK56 in stock, price is ridiculous of course...plan is to let 1 sit 3 years and the other 5 years but I am starting to feel the need to actually try one before investing that kinda rest time, or maybe I just wanna smoke one lol...0

xmacro:Well, it's widely known that CA has a lot of biases, both cigars/brands that they always give an award to, and cigars/brands they never give one to. But it's still interesting to see how things came out.

im surprised there arent more cubans on the list given that CA has a clear biased to cuban cigars.Diamondog:Remember, the majority of the world can smoke Cubans lol...
i have had my share of cubans. very few of them would i consider buying a box of where as i have a hard time choosing what box to buy when it comes to non-cubans.0 -
not only that..it also seems that the guys who post on their forums too consider cubans as the top cigars on the market...imo isn't the case...but I'm just a Cuban Embargoed American Honduran, Nicaraguan, DR cigar smoking guy...what do i know.kuzi16:

Another year the Punch Rare Corojo fails to get an honorable mention------I know there is new stuff every year and whatnot, but I find these to be one of the most consistently good sticks on the market..............and better than the Grand Cru0

So the AB Family didnt even make their top 25 after some even speculated they could be the #1??0

One thing to consider with all the non Cuban cigar making countries is there is much more selection out there, there are only so many Cuban brands and blends....I would definately agree there are many more varieties to choose great smokes from other than Cuban. That being said, I am lucky enough to have easy access to Cubans and over time have built a collection of Cubans that I consider as good or in some cases better than my favorite non Cuban cigars, there are definately fewer no questiopn about that...I'm glad that I can easily partake in the best of both worlds...hopefully some day the embargo will be lifted and we can have the best of both worlds combined, there would be some phenominal new blends for sure!kuzi16:

The Rare Corojo isn't bad but the name it self is a lie. Its neither rare nor a corojo ...Vulchor:Another year the Punch Rare Corojo fails to get an honorable mention------I know there is new stuff every year and whatnot, but I find these to be one of the most consistently good sticks on the market..............and better than the Grand Cru0 -
