Puros Y Vino Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 For better or worse, I've listed some late 2011 releases into the 2012 list. Some cigars, like the 1966 didn't see release until late in the year. I'm really unsure as to which months in 2011 so take it with a grain of salt. This list is "unofficial". Have some fun with it. I've used the following criteria from CCW to compile the list. Click on the cigars you want to vote for. Multiple selections are allowed. After a week we'll get a good picture of what people enjoyed. The poll closes January 11, 2012. Cheers. BW. FYI. This is what the list looks like from CCW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrims Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 interesting post/poll Bundwallah...I'm a tad worried by my votes almost matching consensus so far (I like to be different!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbone Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'm not really interested in trying a single one of these cigars. Sorry Habanos. Love my current production cigars, relatively cheap, enjoyable, and time tested. Obviously I'm not the target customer who finds value in "new" and "exclusive" cigars. Just keep it good and I'm satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectform Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The only one that looks interesting to me is the RG perlas. Will have to seek a few out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deemancpa Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've smoked all except for 3 of them and the E2 has been the best smoke so far. I need more of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cohiba007 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've only smoked the RR which I love and the RAE which not so much. Really Really want a box of 520s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATGroom Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Glad to see someone using the search! To me it’s one of the most useful features of CCW and yet it’s one of our lowest trafficked pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habanos2000 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Can't say that I've had any of these either. Not sure what that says about me, except that new releases aren't that high on my priority list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangolf18 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've only had 6 on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikesupremedunk Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I only had 2 on the list and voted for both because I enjoyed them. Btw, no RA superiors? I liked those as well but not sure if those are '11 releases.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 It's too bad RE's aren't more readily available to all (LCDH levels perhaps) or I'm sure this list would differ. I have been fortunate enough to try many, and loved a couple. But I'm just a regional *****, that's happy to have his paws on a VR XVanni finally!

I liked those as well but not sure if those are '11 releases.. The list you see is the result of the search on CCW. The criteria was Regular, LE, LCDH, Reserva, Grand Reserva from 2011 - 2012. I left out RE due to the sheer numbers it would generate. Plus, most of those cigars are so hard to get outside of the released region. No need to rub it in.

If memory serves, RA Sueriores are a LCDH release, but first released 2010, so I guess, that's why they are not in - But I agree they are great (in both '10 and '11) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 LOL Where is the "select none" button? yeah, I've smoked none of these I am a I'm not really interested in trying a single one of these cigars. Sorry Habanos. Love my current production cigars, relatively cheap, enjoyable, and time tested. Obviously I'm not the target customer who finds value in "new" and "exclusive" cigars. Just keep it good and I'm satisfied. Can't say that I've had any of these either. Not sure what that says about me, except that new releases aren't that high on my priority list. Exclusive and elusive = failure (not a commercial comment, just one smokers opinion)! A hat tip to you who will play the game. Paying up for unproven cigars that I cannot stock in sufficient quantity to enjoy over the course of my life is not what I enjoy about cigars. Exceptional cigars that I can afford to smoke every day defines my smoking habits and my character. I see no such cigars on the list. I don't want my butcher to tell me to buy sea urchin because it has a higher profit margin than ribeye! I don't want my apples replaced with mangos, or my peaches replaced with litchi fruit for the same reasons! I don't shop for the higher profit state of the producer, not in my cigar consumption practice, nor in my consumption of any other product I buy. -Piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotusguy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I suspect that for quite a few people more expensive = better. I mean, I fall into the same trap (not just with cigars). "If I spent THIS much on this, it better have to be great!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With any expensive consumables like cigars, wines, booze, etc an item that doesn't meet your expectations may not get honest praise but it sure might prevent a future purchase!

It's not that you MUST spend more, but you can bet that your chances of success will be more probable. Here we are on a board where we blow $150+++ at the push of a button on an LFTH, so to say we don't spend the dough is well, for me anyway, just silly. Now... if you have the brainpower, resources and skill to find the treasures at a great price? More power to ya baby!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
