Just thought I'd report in on the latest issue of Cigar Aficionado.
I know its been discussed before about the quality of the Cigar Aficionado reviews as well as their articles and how they seem to turn a blind eye to the topic of Havana's. However, in their last 5 or 6 issues there has been a noticeable amount of praise for Cuban vitola's. I've been keeping my eye on them and they've actually gained a lot of my respect for some recent articles on the production and distribution of Habanos. I've been very happy to see this.
However in this month's issue Cuban Vitola's received top ratings in 3 categories!!! That's amazing for CA! I was really happy to see this.
The HDM DC took best in show in the DC category beating out many decent NC's and even the VR DA. Some would disagree with that but at least they are getting representation.
The Monte 2 took the Figurado category which is nice to see. They must have gotten ahold of a good one as these can be very inconsistent.
Then the Cohiba Corona Especial took the Panatela category! I often think that these get overlooked in the world of Cohiba as there are many great vitolas in the line. However they did rate the Vegueros in second, so they must have been smoking just the tiniest amounts of crack LOL
All in all I'd say that's a pretty good run for Cuban cigars in CA. Not too shabby.
Of course Habanos dominated the Connoisseur's Corner as it usually does, with RAG's, Party DP no 1's, Cohiba Lancero's, SLR Regio's, and SP Molino's all being represented.
Overall I'd say this is a positive thing for CA. What are your thoughts on this?
