IMO ab has nothing that I see and I feel damn I really need to get some of these. I'm not saying the brand is bad although I feel that it's headed down RP's path. But I feel that anything in the top 25 should be something that when you see it you want to buy it and not even debate buying it. Take for instance when the opus and anejos are released I don't think hhhhhmmmmmm should I get some?? You just do...or atleast I do. But I can say I have not bought or smoked anything ab in about a year
The whole premise of the top 25, to me, is just plain wrong. Personally, I think it should just be a contest between cigars released during the calendar year. Make cigar manufacturers try to put out new, good cigars every year to compete in this "contest". Or at least release a new vitola to be considered ,like the Anejo 888, if you want an older blend to be considered for the top cigar of the year. Otherwise, it just seems arbitrary when an older cigar (Monte #2) is considered and is selected the winner.
