The reviews here are a different story.

That's my #1 pick!

I like the Presnsado the best of all the AB lines. The last one I smoked didn't scream "I'm No. 1!" at me, however. Congrats to Alec Bradley.

To next years contestants: get your pocketbooks ready! Or if you're Padron, just make another awesome cigar.

I just listened to a KMA radio show and one of the guests picked the My Father El Hijo as his choice for #1. I have not had one yet, anybody think it should have had a shot? I have one resting and will smoke it soon, the reviews here sound amazing!
I know KMA radio is Smoke Inn and the El Hijo is a Smoke Inn exclusive, is this a legit pick or just some more paid voting?

neoflex · 01-06-2012, 08:59 AM

There is a whole slew of sticks that could of had a shot that are just a downright better smoke than the Prensado that didn't make the top 10. I was even surprised to see the Warlock in the top 10 too.

CA rated that stick a 96??? OH LAWD!!!!!!!!

$$ again? The Warlock was a $20. Give it about 15 months and they will be had at CI for $3.00 a stick.

I think I paid $7 for the Warlock I bought a few months ago

I didn't know that was a Smoke Inn exclusive then again so is the Tat Anarchy and a few BOTL's found BOXES in AL this past week.....so Idk

irratebass · 01-06-2012, 09:15 AM

Mmmmm Black Market

maninblack · 01-06-2012, 09:18 AM

Wow, I'm blown away this was rated a freaking 96 and #1 cigar of the year!!! I have had soooooo many better sticks than any cigar AB produces. The Anarchy, Undercrown, TAA, etc etc were all better smokes in my opinion, but I don't get paid to review these so I guess my opinion doesn't matter much. To each his own I guess. Alan Rubin must have greased some palms.

Never had an Alec Bradley, and much like Doctorossi, don't really have much of a hankering.

You're on, Tom- Alec Bradley 'Meh' Club

You want "President" or "CEO"?

Parshooter · 01-06-2012, 09:49 AM

He's great in 30 Rock and when he hosts SNL, didn't know he made cigars.

gator_79 · 01-06-2012, 10:35 AM

I think most of Alec Bradley's sticks are solid but no way should the Prensado be #1. I think the Black Market is a better stick for the money, but thats just my taste.

Does anyone have a link to the top 25, or has the whole list even been released. I looked but couldn't find it. I'm interested to see what # the Undercrown is at. That is one of my favorite new cigars.

You need new math to see where the Undercrown comes in; it's at # [the empty set].

I don't think UC cracked 90 in earlier reviews, so probably didn't make the cut of finalists for cigar-of-the-year list

Zeuceone · 01-06-2012, 11:03 AM

Looks like the NC is far superior.

replicant_argent · 01-06-2012, 11:43 AM

while interesting, and possibly completely subjective, (smoke what you like, like what you smoke, etc.

) I would have simply placed this whole thread as an addendum to, er....

this?

Not only is the #1 anticlimactic, but all this discussion certainly follows along with the conversation you already started there.

I won't be smoking the AB anytime soon, either.
