You know, that is an interesting list. I have had #1 & #6, they are not necessarily "new," are they? Or, am I confused? (there is that very serious possibility).

For number one, the 100 Anos was a new LE release and was better then the regular Bijou BUT, in my opinion, the Bijou has been tweaked by My Father and has vastly improved over the original release. Could be the tobacco crops were just spot on but I think the blend was tweaked?

For number 6, maybe it’s just that I hadn’t smoked the Verocu before 2022. I had smoked the Red and wasn’t impressed. Then I discovered the Verocu and wow, now that is a good cigar!!

It’s with mentioning there are two other cigars that I love but they are shop exclusives.

1. Atlantic Cigars BLTC Dreadnaught. These just came out, very good.

2. Fox Cigars Araposa Negra. I have had wonky burns on these but they are really good.
