El Presidente Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Mate Marty shot this site to me. The cigar section makes interesting reading. www.thefiftybest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer14 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hmm, I didn't see Quinterno in there, but interesting site indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigharpoon Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Cohiba is "spicy"? Really? Did these raters actually smoke a real one? lol Maybe not, but they ARE succulent to the senses and the palate, and that's what really matters! Quite a few NC in there, some of them are some of the best NC's in my opinion. A few odd balls like Puros Indios (???), not sure how that made the list. Very interesting read though.

laficion Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 OH WELL!!!!!!!, It is however better then CA's, there are a few Cubans on thier list. It is THE worst list that I've ever seen In my life.This list is a big joke."Gurkha is THE R.R. of cigars????",That is ,In the world of N.C.'s, a big lie and some serious B.S.The world would have known by now, If they were the best.

bvilchez Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I guess I must have the palate of a goat then. When I first started I tried some of the 'Top 50' and couldn't even finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 If you go into Iwan Reis Chicago, an absolutely incredible cigar store with a walk in humidor that spans the whole shop and sports 2 lounges including an executive club upstairs, this list makes perfect sense. So does the CA list. We here make up such a small % of the cigar market our list choices are special and truly wonderful, but do not reflect the mass market. But I do not have to tell anyone this. It is, as one of the partners at the marketing firm where I used to work called a "BGO"*. * - Blinding Glimpse of the Obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago, Puros Indios were excellent cigars- but not lately. I'll get one on occaision just because it was one of the first cigars I liked. Nothing special now.

Charltonc Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 This is a funny list. I wonder if they were throwing darts when this was created. If it lands 0n 9 make it Perdomo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get one on occaision just because it was one of the first cigars I liked. Nothing special now. I, too, remember when Puros Indios were a damn fine cigar. But that was in my pre-Cuban days. I wouldn't think of picking one up now although the brand is still very familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Pfffff...... I did check out the cigar list, but started with the wines. The idiots. Their subjective lists don't concur with mine, so obviously they don't deserve to breathe my air (are they friends of JS?) Yes - such animus reflects on me as a commentator..... Filthy bloggers....... I'm off to the polo with a flask of Gosling's and brace of Fuentes...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe back in high school, I bought some Roly's because it tasted pretty good, which are the Puros Indios seconds. They were already aged when I bought them too. I actually smoked one a couple years ago and it wasn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
