What i love the most is #1 is a 80 buck cigar #2 is same price. Then #3 is 8 dollars 😂😂😂

I think everyone knew this was coming before it was announced since the 60th wasn’t in 7-2. Is it a $75 cigar though? I haven’t had one, but at $40, I find the PB 97 to be outstanding. So does does the “specialness” of the cigar keep up with the money increase? They mentioned the 60th has some strength to it, so I would like to try it. 

As a side note, I did pick up a box of the number four on the list Cuesta-Rey Centro Finos #9 though; it sounded intriguing enough that, for the price, seemed silly to pass up.

I haven't smoked the natural, but the Maduro was the best cigar I've smoked in some years. Very strong, but so complex and flavourful.

I think I will stick to cigars under 80 bucks.

[Lucas Buck]

Amazing to me folks are spending more than twenty bucks for any NC.

I am shocked the Aging Room Concerto didn’t slide in the top 10. I guess Rafael got the Trinidad in the top 10…….I don’t think it’s possible for a blender to get too many in there as they spread the love I imagine.

While not in reference to #1, #3 is a great smoke that I’ve seen referenced here in the past. I’m a little miffed that they named it the 3rd best cigar. I haven’t seen it in over a year and looking online right now it’s not in stock anywhere.  CA is free to rate/rank cigars however they want, but it’s a bummer when they blow something out of the water and those of us who’ve been smoking them will likely never see them again ☹️

There’s not going to be a huge difference  between vitolas for the tat black, the cazadores is very close to the same size

Personally I’ve found a big difference between the petite lancero and the rest of the vitolas I’ve had in the black series.  I always look forward the PL and ignore the others
