    They are a joke. No confidence in their ranking system.

    Ryan, it nearly always seems like a contest on who has spent the most advertising dollars with CA. Granted the Padron 64 is a good cigar, but was it the best in 2021? I highly doubt it.

    Contest or bribe? And is a happy ending any better than any other size. Did they try the other sizes?

    Which ever it is, I'm sure there is a financial benefit realized by being named #1 of the year. Even if the cigar has been around for a long time.

    The cigars are by no means Dogrockets but I feel like their scope does not properly represent the Cigar market. I would also like a Habano and non Habano list.

    What about the "Best Buys List"?

    https://www.cigaraficionado.com/top25/2020/bestbuys

    Anybody had these Nat Cicco's? And they're saying two different vitolas topped one of my personal all time faves - the Padron Londres? I don't like being suckered.

    Another thing I thought of before going to bed. For anyone who hasn't there is a contest on CA to win 1 of 3 boxes of the cigar of the year. Maybe Fuente got screwed because they didn't have 3 boxes if happy endings to donate.
