As a cynic, I don't typically buy in to commercial top 10 lists (I'll take the posts in this thread above any list), but this year it looks pretty legit.

I had my first and only Eye of the Shark last month and it was great. They are already scarce, and now they will be unobtainium by virtue of being named #1.

Never heard of #9 (Plasencia), #10 (Villiger).

The sucker in me MUST try #13 (Archetype Axis Mund) just for that FANTASTIC band!

All in all, I'd say one of CA's better lists. I always enjoy seeing what Cigar Coop comes up with too. I really enjoy Coop's reviews and insights.

I have to check out the Coop.
And not to offend, but don't trust CA. Too commercial IMO.

I'm the same way, Brimy. I wonder how being named the number 1 cigar translates to sales in past years.

I usually don't agree with CA's #1 cigar, but I think the EOTS is an excellent choice. But I am a Fuente Whore.
