showing the blend along with the other attributes of the cigar with pricing and size would make for great screen shots for those looking for specific capa, blend types? Great job guys. Love the professionalism regarding this hobby

I was at a 2 weddings this year where the rocky patel white label was the wedding cigar. I probably personally smoked more than 10 of them at the after parties because nobody else was really a cigar smoker. And they were not great. Without the label I'd guess it was a 5 or 6 dollar cigar, which is not a bad thing. But for 20 that's a joke. However I'm glad there's a market for it because I love Rocky and I hope he makes all the money in the world.

Many people share the same sentiments as you. Wonder how much money RP sent for that placement...

I think this is a very good list and a very unfortunate list at the same time. The good part is that it is diverse and full of very good cigars. The unfortunate part is that looking at the prices of the majority of these cigars is that cigar companies are unjustifiably raising prices. They are getting so out of hand that they are pricing out every day americans. I believe it will push away new smokers. To call a $12 rothschild, an everyday cigar is laughable. If it were a toro, it would be $24. Again, great list.

Unjustifiable? Go take an economics class bud.

Excellent, guys. You do a fabulous job (it's a nasty job, but somebody's gotta do it LOL). Keep up the good work.

You still can get an excellent cigar for $7, intemperance EC is around that in several vitolas and it's on this list. Pretty sure the Corona in the aladino Cameroon is in the 8 dollar range

[@suntzu4691]

Great list but no Foundation cigars? That’s surprising.

[@QualeQualeson]

You're right. That is surprising.

[@penvzila]

I can't say I've smoked 24 better cigars than the Olmec.

[@penvzila]

I checked the review and I guess they had some wrapper cracking issues, still got a 90

[@jasontylergrace8773]

@@penvzila did you enjoy the claro or maduro?

[@onelove2909]

Don Carlos is an amazing smoke, straight from the box, I never get to smoke them aged, they are just too good 😂 Hey guys youaaaal need to smoke in the sunshine, get some vitamin D...while getting your vitamin N 😅

I enjoyed this video but I can’t stand top cigar ratings. It’s like telling someone what food is the best, everyone has a different palate. I’ll always try a few off the list if I didn’t have them before. I tried the rocky patel white label and it was awful especially at $23 I mean what were you guys thinking. That’s just so suspicious to me.

[@penvzila]

That's very measured, considered and polite way of saying Cuban cigars aren't very good 😜

[@abc123def98]

#1 sounds like it was a shill for a $40 cigar....
