Wow, it is really hard to believe that nearly a year has gone by since we left California and I started making this cigar-centric (but not cigar-limited) blog a regular part of my daily life. I have yet to do all the statistics, but I've smoked a lot of cigars for reviews on this site (probably just over 100) and I've awarded a few of those sticks a perfect "10" score: 11 "10"s awarded, to be exact...
601 Red, May 12. I just had one of these again recently and was still blown away by how good it was. Easily my favorite smoke from Espinoza and Ortega.
Oliva Connecticut, July 7. When asked, I always tell people that I prefer full-bodied cigars. That being said, I enjoy a good mild cigar when I find one that is exceptionally flavorful. This one is.
La Flor Dominicana, L-500 Cabinet, September 29. My long-time favorite cigar. There have been times when quality honestly hasn't been the best, but when the build quality is right, it's really hard to beat one of these cigars.
La Flor Dominicana, Limitado IV, October 2. Exceptionally strong cigar, but possessing an amazing amount of flavor. Eat big before smoking this one.
La Flor Dominicana, Mystery Blend, October 6. In some ways it may not be fair to list this one, because very few people will get a chance to try it, but it really was that good. If they announced that they were going to put this cigar out as a regular production stick, I'd buy a box.
The final 6 cigars awarded 10 points this past year will be revealed on Wednesday, December 30.
