Now that our Top 10 lists for the best Light, Medium and Full strength cigars has been compiled and published. We thought it would be fun to slice-and-dice our information a couple of different ways. As many of you know, limited edition cigars are quite often very hard to come by. That being said, I think most would agree the back-bone bread and butter offerings in the cigar industry are the “core lines.” That being said, we went back and crunched the numbers against all 3 of our lists (light, medium and full) to come up with a “Best of the Core Lines” ranking. Those findings are included in the Top-10 list below – enjoy!
NOTE: Beside each cigar, you’ll see an alpha-numeric inside parenthesis. This notation allows you to know which parent list the cigar comes from: L1 = our #1 Light Cigar; M1 = our #1 Medium Cigar, and so forth…
Best of the Core Lines: (excludes limited edition)
- Ortega Serie-D Maduro – (M2)
- CyB, by Joya de Nicaragua – (M3)
- My Father Flor de las Antillas – (M4)
3 Reynas – (F5)UPDATE: does not qualify as core line, click here for more info…- Undercrown Corona Viva – (M5)
- Intemperance BA XXI, by RoMa Craft – (F6)
- Oliva Serie V Melanio – (F7)
- Headley Grange, by Crowned Heads – (M6)
- Emilio AF Suave – (L6)
- Nestor Miranda Special Selection Connecticut – (L7)
- EP Carrillo Cardinal Maduro – (F10)
I’ve got seven out of the ten currently stocked in my humi (eight if you count the disqualified 3 Reynes). Good lineup.
Thanks Erich, I appreciate the feedback. So what were your favorite sticks of 2012? (be sure to check out our final Top 10 list entitled “Best of the Best” – cheers!)
Nicely Done. I like where you are going with this stuff, Stace.
