Impressive testing procedure! I used to think the CA Top 25 was just an effete listing of popular brand names. Now will have to seriously rethink the validity of the results.

Thanks for the link, Drew.

Deserved.

I have smoked very few Dominicans and know very little about any of them to be honest, but I was gifted the RP a few months ago and it was a great smoke.

Well deserved of this position in the poll IMO.

Predictions anyone?

I will be surprised if we don't see another Rocky Patel in the top 10 (call me Decade). He has been advertised heavily on the CA website, and in all fairness the Decade is a great cigar... Also, the Padron Anniv seem to be in the top 10 every year.

From Cubans, taking in account the recent ratings in their cigar insider, their highest rated cigars were the Partagas Salomones and the PR Valiosos...

Lets see what they'll give us tomorrow...
