#ELOSOFUMARTAKES - 316th Take - 2024 Top Ten Cigars with George Brightman
WELCOME BACK! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The night is here! The time is right! It's time for the #ELOsoFumarTakes Top 10 Cigars of 2024!
Once again, the legendary George Brightman joins us for the Top 10 Countdown for the ages! I've sent George my top ten cigars for him to sample and taste test blind. He gives an honest breakdown alongside my own assessments, Enjoy!
Criteria:
1) It's vitola based.
2) I had to have smoked the cigar for the first time in the last year and a half.*
3) It must not suck.
4)No limited edition cigars (i.e. TAA, shop exclusive) are eligible.
5) A previous number 1 cigar winner (blend-specific, i.e. 2017 Winner Espinosa Habano) cannot be on this year's Top 10 or repeat as winner.*
6) A company cannot have more than 1 cigar on the Top 10, however, may be considered for honorable mention.*
7)THE BIG ONE: frequency of smoke. Basically, I had to have the means AND opportunity AND did, in fact, smoke the cigar frequently.
Just to review, here is last year's list:
Top 10 2023:
1) Gran Habano 20th Anniversaro Edicion Limitada El Sueno
2) Luciano Cigars Maria Lucia
