Now it really heats up!
Limited Edition cigars do not have the constraint of tobacco availability and the need for mass production when developing the bend. it’s just the best cigar a manufacturer can make with the best tobacco on hand. Price and availability did not factor in my picking of the Top LEs of 2009. I also did not pick multiple cigars from the same line.
So without further ado, here’s the list as I see it:
Tatuaje Boris – better than the Frank, better than the Drac, this LE is one of Pete’s and Pepin’s best.
La Flor Dominicana El Museo – this really hard to find LE was made by Litto with the best wrapper out there right now, his Ecuadorian Habano wapper. This edged the Salamone only because it burned better.
Davidoff Seleccionne 702 Toro – so Davidoff only makes mild cigars, huh? Try this and you will be blown away, the strongest and most flavorful Davidoff ever made.
Padron Anniversary No. 44 – only available at Padron events, this cigar is way better than the Family Reserve, in fact, its the best Padron ever made!
AVO Companero – rivaling the famous LE05, this special cigar is one of AVOs best. And yes, AVO is technically owned by Davidoff, but it is a different brand…
Punch CRA Edition Toro – only available to members of the Cigar Rights of America, this limited Edition cigar was the best of the sampler and the best cigar General has ever made hands down.
Ok, so here’s the poll, write-ins are welcome and yes there are 6 cigars on the list instead of 5, but hey, I’ll let you guys decide!
The Avo LE09 hands down, end of discussion, all the way. And that’s coming from a Tatuaje homer that loved the Boris.
The Companero is just a fantastic cigar.
I tried to other, but its broke for me…
Regios or SW Reserva for me… hands down!
