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: Connecticut
Gurkha Micro-Batch C-10
One of the most beautiful Connecticut wrappers we've seen all year. Creamy
and smooth, loading your palate with leathery and toasty flavors. The finish
remains smooth while engulfing your senses with toasty aromas mixed with
cedary nuances. Everything about this cigar screams Gurkha, but the price
sure doesn't... so open up your wallet and become one with the righteous
weed we call tobacco.
Oliva Connecticut Reserve
A brand spankin' new release for Oliva in 2009. Available at an inexpensive,
everyday low price – shocking as that may seem from Oliva. Mild to medium-bodied
with a very creamy and silky texture. Stop reading this already and take our word
for it, you want this cigar.
Fonseca
Attention Macanudo fans, it is time to leave your overpriced and one-sided relationship
for a new Dominican handmade. This cigar has your name written all over it. A timeless
gem and the Dominican's best seller for over a decade. Extremely mild featuring a
straightforward and consistent flavor from first puff to last.
Best of Connecticut 2009 Sampler includes two each of Gurkha Micro-Batch C-10,
Oliva Connecticut Toro, and Fonseca 5-50. Expect a smooth character that emits
a ton of flavor from these three brands.
