nikesupremedunk Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I would assume that they don't want to put too many CC's on there because they are mainly USA based. But I never took their list seriously so...yea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgarman Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It is an American magazine with non Cuban cigar advertisers who pay the bills. If CCs dominated the ratings, it would certainly isolate readers from the US who we know cannot legally obtain or smoke Cubans. Simple politics.

riazp Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I agree with Figaro, in the end its all about rewarding their advertisers...I actually agree more with CA's list that Cigar Journals list...something I thought I'd never say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jah Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 ? A Nat Sherman is in the Top Ten???? Now I've seen everything Have you smoked it yet? I'm not exactly a Nat Sherman homer but Herklots and his crew did a great job on the Timeless series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It is an American magazine with non Cuban cigar advertisers who pay the bills. If CCs dominated the ratings, it would certainly isolate readers from the US who we know cannot legally obtain or smoke Cubans. Simple politics. Exactly. This is the core issue for CA. They have to cater to what their readers can buy and those who need justification for buying ad space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbass Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I heard great things about the Timeless Series. But thats from a guy who smokes a lot of NC's. Still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 When I consider all the cigars I smoked this year, I would say the best of the 2012 releases I smoked were almost all Cubans with the exception of this year's Opus X Reserva d'Chateau. Other than that, PSD4 H. Upmann made my favorite cigars this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
