The La Flor Dominicana - Yes - and very good too. The San Lotano Oval Corona - I have a couple yet to smoke but I've had the Toro and it was first class. Just look at the price of that Cohiba 1966 Limited Edition 2011 - just too expensive ! Thanks for posting the list but I still believe that such lists are personal to each and every smoker - and they would all be different.

[Puff Scotty]

Correct Mr D..except the CA list is bought & paid for by advertisers so actually means nothing..
Half a dozen Cubans in the top 25...bollux! Even NC purists will wince at that...

[cigarmo]

I do agree that everyone would have a personal fav list, also agree the cohiba would have to pour me a cuban rum for that price.

[Puff Scotty]

Har Har Mo..at that price I'd want to pour my own...

[baileyth]

If your interested in good NC check what Canadians smoke they have the best of both worlds, but that list is Bollocks it should have had cyb in it, which I'm keen to find

[baileyth]

That said I like number 10 but I prefer the hermoso vitola which I've nearly run out of....

[cigarmo]

Cyb?

[Puff Scotty]

Joya de Nic. CyB...think bails has lost his caps key...

[baileyth]

I'm using Swype on a smart phone go easy on

[cigarmo]

Thanks still learning

[Puff Scotty]

NEVER MIND...

Sent from my laptop..using a keyboard..

I agree with you wholeheartedly, Scotty, which is why I take little notice and prefer 'personal' top 10s or top 25s.
