Headhammer Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Unfortunately this list is more dictated by who pays to advertise in their magazine than the actual quality/flavor/performance of the cigars. To be fair, I have not tried any of the 2017 versions of theses cigars. http://top25.cigaraficionado.com Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: PM Grind 54* & 58* Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to comment
Hula Rock Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 That list is 100% Garbage..... being honest. I rather smoke a Bolivar Belicoso Fino over a AF Eye of the Shark any day.......

Headhammer Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Interesting take on the top cigar lists for last year. https://www.golfgearbox.com/blogs/news/top-cigars-of-2017-a-true-consensus-list Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: PM Grind 54* & 58* Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to comment
GregWithAnH Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 The reason why the top 3 cigars were chosen were due to the fact that the men who started all the companies (Padron, Oliva, & Fuente) all passed away last year. My every day cigar is Padron 4000. There are people who rant and rave about Fuente, but honestly, not a fan. Oliva is ok. Love me some Romeo 505, Caldwell, AJ Fernandez New World, and Tatuaje. I agree with you about Bolivar Belicoso Fino...that is my #1 cigar...ever! I just came back from Cape Town and got a bunch of them! That list is 100% Garbage..... being honest. I rather smoke a Bolivar Belicoso Fino over a AF Eye of the Shark any day.......

Cigar industry lost some true pioneers in the last couple of years. Smoked the AF eye of the shark, last week, nothing special, could be that I am not a fan of the Cameroon wrapper. Best stick in the shark line hands down is still the Anejo No. 77 Driver: M3 Tensei CK Pro Blue3-Metal:: GBB EPIC, FujiKura Pro Green 5-Metal: F-7, FujiKura Pro Irons: MP-18 SC, KBS Tour 120 Wedges: RTX-3 52 - 56 - 60Putter: EVN-Roll ER-5 Ball : Tour B XS Range Finder: Busnnell Tour-X, Garmin S20 Follow me: @Hula_Rock Link to comment

DocDuffer Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I haven't heard of many of these and I'm not too keen on spending larger denominations trying out cigars that I probably won't like. Stick with what you like, unless it is a known crowd-pleaser. My humidor carries a supply of Acid Kuba Kuba at all times for easy smokes and give aways for golf buddies who don't regularly smoke. C.A.O. Brazilia and Davidoff Zino Platinum Grand Master round out the box. Otherwise, I stick to my trusty pipe and some well-blended classics. Other than the Bolivar Belicoso Fino, any suggestions for "must try?" Thanks Driver: Fly Z+3-Wood: Launcher HBHybrid: King F7 3-4Irons: 3100 I/H, graphite58 Wedge: MP-T5 58-degree, graphite 60 Wedge: 60-degree Putter: Sigma G Piper 3 PP60 Balls: Got 'em.
