Mine? Ehh, Mac, I got nuttin'. No surprise, I'm sure. See, though I guesstimate I smoked between 1500 and 2000 cigars in 2012, I don't believe I've smoked ANY of those on that list.

Re: Cigar Snob Top 25 Sticks of 2012
I have tried very few of the smokes on this list. I'll start searching them out, thanks for the comments from the members it'll give me something to go by.
As for owning my own yacht, there are certainly some spendy sticks on this list!

Re: Cigar Snob Top 25 Sticks of 2012
Definitely agree with some of these and there are others that I think should've been on the list - but that's ok because a) it's their opinion, that's the beauty of cigars and b) it's a much more realistic list than ca's so even if I don't agree 100% I don't think it's completely biased either.

Re: Cigar Snob Top 25 Sticks of 2012
Will comment on the ones I've had.
#1: Oliva Series V Melanio Torpedo (had the PC and I can say I liked it w/out reservations) #7: Liga Privada T-52 Belicoso (meh, OK, I smoked it) #8: San Lotano Oval Petite Robusto (this was a nice cigar, but I won't get any more) #9: Flor De Las Antillas Robusto (this was tasty) #19: Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R54 (I liked this one and will get a few more of them) #20: Cain F 660 (big, strong, and not much else) #21: Camacho Corojo Nacionales (Another decent stick, but...) As I haven't had any of the others, I must assume I don't get out as much as I should.

Where's my lighter?

Re: Cigar Snob Top 25 Sticks of 2012
I agree about the 601 Blue....man what a smoke! The Oliva V Maduro is also a killer-getting ready to buy a box next week...I haven't had the Melanio yet. How does it compare to the Maduro?

Re: Cigar Snob Top 25 Sticks of 2012
Milder, sweeter, and not as in your face. A good breakfast stick. That price point is what kills me, so many other good breakfast sticks out there for the same money or slightly cheaper, namely Curivaris and Avos.
