Being newer to cigars I do not know if my insight matters much :whistling:
But I actually have enjoyed some of the non top 10s more from the 08 and 09 list. for some reason, 16-10 seems to have some of my favs from the last few years so I am excited to see what just missed the "top" 10.
Not only do I agree with Isy about the OWR making it in, but also the 601. Now do not get me wrong, I loved the 601 blue label, actually it was my first Pepin cigar that I smoked not even knowing anything about Pepin's labels. It turned me onto his lines and it was that cigar that has crafted my pallet to higher level brands. I did not start on Fuente cigars, I started on Pepins and Rockys. So it is kind of cool to see a cigar that I was smoking in March 09 and knew nothing about make the top ten list. IMP
