Well, it’s that time of the year. People are buying gifts, students are getting ready for their exams and cigar blogs are publishing their top & best lists. This is the first time we are doing this, hope you enjoy it.
- Ramon Allones Specially Selected. This must be the best Cuban cigar of the moment. Everytime I need a great smoke I can count on, I reach for a RASS, as well as many other smokers that I know. Let’s hope they will manage to maintain high quality standards.
- Cohiba Seleccion Piramide. It is simply the most delicious cigar I smoked this year. Too bad it’s a limited edition…
- Montecristo No. 2. Another torpedo. Thanks to better quality control, these are once again reliable and flavorful.
- Montecristo Petit Edmundo. Combines looks, flavor and drive. A must-try for real men 🙂
- H. Upmann Magnum 46. This cigar is completely different, but also earns its place in my rating. Elegant & perfectly balanced, this is the best corona gorda of this year.
Please add your favorite Cuban smokes of 2008 below. Non-Cuban top list is coming soon, stay tuned!

i’d like to try a couple of each!
Well… The only one I have tried so far is #1 in the list. RA’s robusto is a real masterpiece. Delicious and at a reasonable price when compared to other robustos like Partagas D4 or Moyo’s Epicure #2. Can’t speak for the other four, but I really enjoyed RA! I guess I have to agree with the list at this point in my cigar-tasting career… 🙂
Definitely. Here is my review of the RASCC:

Good list, i agree with some of your choices. You are so lucky man, u can just walk in to the store and grab any cuban 😉
im doing a list too, for The Cigar Spy, should be posted within a week or two. i got a question tho…. Do you prefer the RASS over the RASCC?
