Okay, last year The Party Source released a Staff Pick Top 25 Cigars of 2008. It was in response to Cigar Aficionado's annual cigars of the year.
The Party Source will be listing a Top 25 of '09 soon, but in the meanwhile I figured this could be fun. I am asking each of you to post your top 5 cigars you have smoked this year. Please give as much detail as possible (ie. brand, wrapper, size). After we have compiled enough entries we can come up with some averages and decide on our own Top 25.
The problem I always have with listing the top anything of a particular year, is that I have a hard time remembering what came out this year or last year or whatever. What I am more inclined to do is to list the cigars I remember enjoying the most this year. My apologies if this is not quite what you are asking for.
Oliva Serie V Double Toro
Nub Maduro 460 torpedo
Camacho Liberty 2009
La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero 660
Puros Indios Gordos (6x60)
For an honorable mention I will just say that two brands that I've smoked that came out this year which have a lot of potential are Cain and Room 101. I have a few of each of those resting in my humidor - when I smoke them months from now, perhaps they will be the first ones onto my list for 2010!
JimRobert,
Funny you mention Troya. My local B&M owner was smoking one when I entered his shop-smelled really good. I bought one and smoked it on the patio that afternoon. Really swell. Haven't seem them since.
Camacho Liberty 2009
Camacho Coyolar (always a favorite of mine)
Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature
Padilla Series 68 Solomon Edicion Limitada 2009
Cohiba Siglo I (yea I know it is "forbidden" lol )
