Most premiums are overpriced but we didn't get into this hobby because we wanted to save money.



You mean these?

Wow, I was hoping the rumors I heard were wrong....

Agreed. This is probably even more laughable than when the Casa Magna took #1 a few years ago.

Now that was a joke! I had at least 2-3 bargain smokes that were better that that!

This may be the saddest excuse for a top 10 I have ever seen.

And I have been an on again off again subscriber to CA for a decade.
I didn't renew this time since they couldn't explain to me why I always got my copy 2-3 weeks after the rest of the planet.

You couldn't pay me to smoke an AB

As a matter of fact, I've got one of these POS. I'm gonna have to pay someone to take this waste of tobacco from me

So whats so bad about Casa Magnas? I enjoy them, especially the Oscuro.

If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?

We all have different tastes. The Casa Magna was fine and all.....just not the number 1 cigar for the year. But they gave it a #1 because it was what they thought a better than average cigar at a bargain price.

So if their criteria stands, why not this year the Cain Daytona #4 be the #1 cigar for 2011? The Daytona is a way better cigar at a $4.50 price point! And for the most part I have not smoked but a few cigars better than it!
