Cigar of the Year 2009 is....

I haven't tried this one. I have smoked several of the 1926 (nat and mad), 64s, and the 80th maduro. The most I would pay for any of them is $10. They are good, but IMO there are many smokes that are better and cost less. Maybe the 45th would change my mind, but at $25 I think I'll pass. As far as last year, the 1st release Casa Magna was much better than subsequent releases, but again, not what I would consider COTY.
