Predictions:

NC will get the top spot

One CC in the top 15

Two CCs in the top 25

Repeat every year.

 

I’m going to a little further and say:

1. My Father or Padron will be number 1 this year 

2.  Tatuaje will have a cigar in the top ten (usually number 7 or 8) 

3. I am guessing one CC will be top 5 this year, possibly 3 in the entire list

Were members’ predictions on the mark?

The only thing that's close is the Padron:rotfl:. Most of the panel has My Father missing this year. Gurkha is a miss. 

Hector, who tends to be eerily accurate, the top 3 at Padron 1964 Anniversary Torpedo, Oliva Serie V Melanio Churchill and PSD4. The only consistent pick is the Padron 1964 Anniversary Torpedo as CoTY.  Erron has the Montecristo 1935 Churchill for CoTY. 

I'll double check the panelist lists but there's a minimum of 3 CCs that are stone cold locks to make it.

Better yet. I have the screenshot.  Posting it here is not appropriate. 

Interesting…but I suppose not all that surprising in todays day & age of anything and everything can get hacked. The CA top 25 doesn’t exactly strike me as having a Fort Knox type of security defense.

It doesn't. We were able to pull 5,6,7 this morning before the list was published.

The current speculated top 4 is:

  • #4 - PSD #4
  • #3 - San Cristobal Quintessence
  • #2 - Montecristo 1935 Anniversary
  • #1 - Padron 1964 Anniversary Torpedo

My guess is that the reveal pages are already posted to a content management system ahead of time and scheduled for publication. Anyone in the chain who has access to that content can leak it.  Most leaks are internal from people with access vs brute force attacks.  It could be the screenshot I have is a fake too.  Once the reveal is posted officially, I'll post what I received here.

This happened several years ago as well when they had the pages staged and all that was required was changing the URL.

Noooooo…..keep the new PSD4 fan boys away from our FOH stash!! 😱
 

At least it seems CA got that one right. #4 being debatable, but a helluva cigar this year certainly.

4, 3, and 2 are no longer speculation.
