Yes it was. I just started back in Fall of '07, so I actually got into cigars at a great time! (^_^ )

Jimbo, I like your list. The Tatuaje P-Series was impressive. I believe it is a mixed filler. A while ago, I tore through a bunch of them, and really enjoyed them. But, I did have enough sense to set one (sucks only one) aside. Well, the lone Series P is completely covered in plume!! Now, I really want to smoke it, but it is so freakin cold and I don't want to smoke it at a bar.

There are smokes that I only want to smoke on the back patio, and since this has some time on it, I will wait until spring.
I need to get more of the Series P and let them get all white and fuzzy!

Now that looks like a cigar smoker's top 25 list based on ACTUALLY smoking them, instead of basing reviews on advertising revenue.... (^_^ )

For my list though, number 10 and number 24 need to trade places. As far as number 1 goes...ummmm, no.

OK, I think I've only smoked one from this list too! No. 12 - one of my favorites. Boy, I really suck. But somehow, even with missing all these greats, I still manage to have more cigars than I know what to do with...
