[...] Maduro was nice, it wasn’t the best cigar of the day. That honor was given to a cigar that I ranked as my #3 cigar of 2008, the Cubao by EO [...]

Great list Walt!!!! And unlike Brian’s list, I’ve actually smoked a few of the cigars on your list heh. I tried to hit your last years list for this year and managed about 3/4. So now my goal for next year is to smoke the cigars on your list I’ve not tried which are:

1. Olive Serie V Maduro – I’ve smoked the regular, not the maduro.
2. Nub Connecticut. I’ve not smoked any Nubs – heretic that I am
3. J. Fuego Delerium – looks like a tasty cigar
4. Xikar Defiance
5. El Tital de Bronze
6. Top Shelf Black
7. Cubao – looks like from yours and Brian’s list, two DP cigars to try plus I want to try the Riqueza

Things to put on my goals for next year. Yowza.

Thanks for the list Walt. I am excited that I now have a few smokes that I’ll be hunting for, and after reading the comments, the Defiance will be on that list.
I think its obvious why consumers are cautious re the Xikar Defiance. I think from a marketing standpoint, they would have done well to keep the Xikar name off the product.
The El Titan Bronze Redemption will be another I have to try, after seeing mixed reviews at Ole Stogies blind tasting, and hearing your positive review.

Thanks again Walt

I too am a big fan of the Defiance. I think one of the reasons no one talks about them is that not many people know about them. They werent really marketed. If I didnt visit this site all the time, I am not sure where or how I would have ever heard of them.
