TOP 7 Cuban Cigar Years (vintages) over the past 20 years?

[Bighmack]

Hello all. This is my first time posting so forgive me if I do anything incorrect. I recently read an article on this site in which there was a topic, and people chimed in, about what were the best cuban cigar years (vintages) Over the past 10 years. It was such a great topic (and I read some very informative replies) that I figured I would ask you all about what are your top 7 Cuban cigar vintages (years) {FROM BEST TO 7th} over the last 20 years? I’d love the feedback. Thanks! And by the way... this site is AWESOME!

Hello wineguy. Well obviously I jumped  the gun. I was so darn excited to get started I didn’t follow the proper protocols. Thank you for informing me what to do. I am going to write up an introduction now. Thanks again.

        Hi, there, Bighmack! Cigcars here - you can call me Janet (yes, let me clarify - I'm a girl. Some folks find that out later about me to their surprise). And welcome to Friends of Habanos, brothers and sisters of the Leaf.  In answer to your question I can give you my top seven cigars through 20 years past that knocked my socks off, blew my mug: scrambled my eggs:  1. Ramon Allones Gigantes  2. Trinidad Fundadores (a lancero first introduced in 1993, and the ONLY lancero I found truly delightful as I'm NOT a long and skinny fan). 3. Montecristo No.2  4. Punch Black Prince  5. Fonseca Invictos - sadly discontinued 6. Cohiba Siglo VI. And 7. Saint Luis Rey Churchill. And we'll look forward to seeing what the rest of the Forum members say their Top Seven Habanas from 20 years ago are. Take care and nice to meet ya!

I believe he’s asking about best YEARS over the past 20. Since we already have a post from the past decade, I wonder if the same thing was done a decade ago (best vintages from the ‘00s)?

Just a joke.  It's from the TV show "The Good Place"  Janet is the smartest person in the afterlife who knows the answers to everything.  But every time one of the characters on the show says "Hey girl" she always says "I'm not a girl"

    Oh! Okay. Thanks for the information. I didn't know WHAT that meant! I've been teased about "not being a 'girl' " before by my close friends...I'm a "girl" who loves cigars and UFC Championship bouts. One person way back when on this forum had said "A 'girl'-? Who loves cigars AND UFC!?" And he gave me a love emoji!
