Voting Thread for Cigar of the Year!

We came up with one hell of an awesome list of cigars! Now it's time to pick the top dog. The poll contains the top 7 cigars as nominated by the Bums (we are doing 7 instead of 10 due to the number of ties and limits on poll options). If you will please vote on your top 3 choices from this list. That's right, don't pick just one, pick your top 3. We will let this poll run for another 2 weeks so everyone has a chance to vote. Feel free to discuss your choices in the thread. Poll options are in straight alphabetical order to not influence votes.

Of the choices, I could vote for 2.

That's fine as well.

I might get crucified for saying this, but the Anejo is not the greatest cigar ever made, as some might argue. I've smoked several, even bought a box...but there are other cigars that I'd rather smoke, namely the My Father Le Bijou 1922.

In my humble opinion the Jericho Hill is just passable, maybe just not my favorite blend. Be nice

I voted and Jesse thank you again for doing this. That original list was amazing.

No problem at all! It's interesting to see what's popular. We need a CB sampler from that original list!

If we end up with a tie, how do you guys want to handle it? A straight run off between what's left or split the title?

In case of a tie, I vote settling it with knives.

Or, we could just leave it a tie and most everyone will have voted for a winner. Kinda like everyone getting a trophy for playing t-ball. No wait! I'm confused, I'll pass.

OMG I HATED IT!

Sorry all you AF lovers. That one was a resinous wad of CRAP!

I REALLY do like that CH is the ONLY cigar brand up there 2x..LOL

Carry on!

Cheers

I'll vote for My Father 1st Los Calaveras 2nd...and that's it for me from the seven, tho I don't expect either of my picks to finish above third, more likely fourth place.

Unfortunately none of those are in my top 3 for the year but at least 1 CH, La Imperiosa is

One week of voting to go!

BUMP ...... :rudolph:

None were in any of my Top 3 CC, but all very good mentionables. I picked the LC, 64, Mi Amor as they all have been consistently good. I have only had the Anejo 46 youngish (7 months) putting them down with my Sharks for 4-5 years, of course with some sampling along the way, you know QA purposes of course.

4 days left to vote.

I found the Jericho Hill and Tat Blacks to be bangin - perhaps not my favs of the year, but def from this list...

2 of them up there I personally disliked and wouldn't care to smoke again (1964 & Le Bijou)

2 of them I haven't tried (LC & Mi Amor)... wait, I might have had a Mi Amor on the drive to NC, if so, it was good

1 was okay, but probably needed more time, the Anejo, haha

Crowned Heads was a new name for me that surprised so I voted Calaveras.

So it looks like the Cigar Bum top 3 for 2015 are:

1. Arturo Fuente - Anejo 46
2. Padron - Anniversary 1964 Maduro
3. Tatuaje - Black

Obviously, this is a very unscientific poll but still pretty interesting. We had 95 cigars that were nominated on Cigar Bum, our of our 95 nominations, 4 made the CA top 25 (5 if you count the Padron 1964, we said Maduro, they said natural). The 4 that made the list are:

Bolivar BF (CC)
Laranja
Montecristo Espada
My Father Le Bijou 1922

So, 21 of their top 24 weren't even nominated by the Bums but we did nominate the #1 cigar. So maybe it's not all bought a paid for. ;)
