There seems to be a "Top 25" for everything these days, so at Cigar.com we thought it only appropriate that we
offer our opinion on "Best of the Best" in the cigar world. There will be no complex algorithms to rate cigars
here, folks. Our equation is much simpler and less scientific. When we rated our top picks for 2009, our panel
included five of our best consultants, a cold November weekend, a keg of Yuengling, spirits galore, and of
course...hundreds of premium cigars. A grueling task, yes, but someone had to do it. By the final hour, we found
ourselves hidden among a waist-high pile of burning nubs and empty scotch bottles, while Tim huddled in the
corner begging for us to end the madness. But we soldiered on, knowing our customers would be eager to get our
feedback on those blends that made the grade in 2009. Did your favorite make the cut?
Cigar.com Awards: Medium
Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
A downright perfect blend from A.J. Fernandez encompassing generations of secret
Cuban blending processes. We're tired of all the "hooplah" surrounding Cuban cigars.
Trust us, we've burned our share and this blend gives any true Cuban a run for its
money. Earned a gold for its price as a true competitor to Cuban cigars.
Alec Bradley Tempus
Blended by Alan Rubin and rolled in Danli Honduras, this critically acclaimed gem
still remains on everyone's wishlist. While we fancy ourselves as "uniquely
opinionated," we're following the crowd on this blend. Once you light this puppy
up you can't turn away from its rich and spicy aroma. For once we agree with Cigar
Aficionado's '94' rating: well deserved.
Gurkha Empire Series V
We'll be the first to tell you some of Gurkha's newest releases earn every bit of their
keep with premium blends at a workingman's price. A "no brainer" awards finalist not
because we're cheapskates and shameless Gurkha fans, but this blend comes as a great
everyday cigar on nearly every level: price, flavor and construction.
Best of Medium 2009 Sampler includes two each of Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet No. 2, Alec
Bradley Tempus Quadrum, and Gurkha Empire V. This trifecta of brands will get your
mouth watering before even being lit!
