In your eyes, the "Comeback kings" of the past 15 years?

[El Presidente]

Yes...you will need to have been around smoking cigars for some time but there are plenty on this forum who have been

I'm not a cigar smoker of long standing, but as an observer over the last year, I've been most impressed with the turn-around of RyJ. Seems to get a lot of discussion, and the comparisons in the FOH video reviews is quite stark; we've gone from cigars tossed off the deck to scores in the 90s.

(The primary exception to the trend has been the Piramides Anejados, which comes with all the suspicion and caveats of that particular program.)

I'd also be curious to know how those same old, crap cigars are smoking now with that age on them.

Or would this be hijacking the thread?

On second thought, I'm sure there's already an old thread out there on this subject, too.

Have to agree with these picks. RyJ's by far making the biggest comeback.
