This week, we review the Smokin Tabacco Cigar of the year list and compare it to other lists including to what’s been named on the Cigar Coop list and we also talk about who is currently repeatedly ranking high or scoring number one across multiple lists. We also talk about how including limited or hard to obtain cigars may be a little frowned upon by consumers who are trying to find them. Coop goes through the Cigar Coop Top 12 stories to get Matt’s take on what he thinks should and shouldn’t be on the list and naming substitutions. Don’t forget to Like and Subscribe!
