Every January I sit and reflect on all of the cigars I smoked during the prior year and I compose my list of the 10 best. It is important to remember that I only review new cigars to the market and sometimes an aged Cuban or rare limited edition. I smoke go to cigars that I think are great everyday I don't blog them anymore, if you want to see some of those go back a couple of years and see them for yourself I have already blogged them and my go to's don't change very often.
This year yielded the fewest 90+ cigars in the history of this blog which speaks to quality and my picky tastes. It also allowed for some of the highest scores I have ever given, including the highest score I have given on this blog, this speaks to the fact that some manufacturers just get it right.
This year I will do something a little bit different and give you my honorable mention list in no particular order, these were cigars I rated very highly but that did not make the cut. They are;
San Lotano Oval Petit Robusto
Viaje Holiday Blend Petit Robusto
Rolando Reyes Limited Edition Grand Reserva Toro
Ernesto Perez Carrillo Inch #60
