It's tough to pick my favorite cigar that I smoked in 2008. The Cohiba Sublime EL 04 will always hold a special place. I make it a point to smoke one each year on my birthday. The RA Belicosos from 05 have also been quite good, as have the 03 PSDC #3's. For a go-to cigar, I would have to give the RASS its due.

I've only smoked a few cigars with '08 boxcodes, but far and away the best have been the Upmann Magnum 50.

CA is an American magazine.. That's all..

While I agree that the rankings seem at the very least perplexing, I'm don't understand your point? Any magaizine anywhere in the world is driven by ad dollars and they picked a #1 cigar that no one has heard of before - correction, most have not heard of before. How does the fact that CA being a American Mag make me understand how they came to thier conclusions? Are you to say that this mag excluded Cuban Cigars becasue of the Embargo? I've never put much tust in CA's reviews to begin with but not because of thier nationality.

PS. I agree the rankings are FUBAR!

I meant the magazine is mainly toward American. For the reason, They need to discuss NCs rather than its real worth. You know American don't buy a cigar magazine which is cosisted of most of articles on CCs that they can't get.

I beleive you're smart and don't think It's not only for Americans. but If you have such a thought, please think what most of the cigar in the ranking aren't sold outside US.

Thank you for clarifying that for me ... not sure I agree, but I now understand your point. Cheers!
