Some random thoughts.....
The 45 definitely deserved to be #1.
The LFD Salomon definitely deserved to be #1.
The LFD Salomon definitely deserves to be in the top 10.
There a few in the top 10 that I don't think I'd put in the top 25. I rarely seriously consider CAs list.
It's an issue that is fun to read but come on, some people just put to much weight on it. This is, after all,
a magazine that is more about an upscale lifestyle then it is about cigars, the culture, the industry, etc.
I read the intro online and did find something interesting. How they code the cigars for identification
purposes and that the one who does the coding isn't a taster. So that makes it a pretty good blind tasting.
The cigars are purchased just for the tastings so they haven't been "aging" for a while.
