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: New Release
Diesel
When we discovered Diesel last summer, it was as if the skies opened up and a
full-bodied powerhouse was handed down from the gods. As the name suggests,
the blend comes packed with bold, hearty and spicy flavors stemming from the
rich and oily Pennsylvania Broadleaf maduro wrapper. If you could possibly
manage to smoke a filet mignon, this is what it would taste like.
Cain by Oliva
When the first shipment of Cain hit our dock, we ran to it like like a lush runs
to an open bar. This full-bodied bombshell remains strong due to its use of all
triple fermented straight-ligero fillers, but maintains a well balanced flavor. A
must try for any serious enthusiast. However, Cain remains one dimensional,
keeping it out of number one spot for new releases.
Padilla Dominus
In 2009, Ernesto Padilla seemed to be ubiquitous. His long time, mainstay brands
received record high ratings including a '94,' and we've experienced several new
releases that swept us off our feet. Rolled using a rare 2006 Corojo-seed wrapper,
Dominus commands your attention from first puff to last.
Best New Release 2009 Sampler includes two each of Cain torpedo Natural, Diesel Unholy
Cocktail, and Padilla Dominus Churchill. Try these new, limited blends today for a
special, enjoyable experience.
