I do love Melanios.  You can debate "Cigar of the year " all you want, but it is an exceptional cigar IMO.

I wouldn't put it beyond them.  Bugatti has a cigar, what is stopping Breitling?

I really like the Robustos and have been looking forward to trying the Figurados, but now this may take a while... :-/

Nothing bad can be said of the Melanio, but am I the only one that likes the regular Series V better though?
For once, I prefer a less expensive cigar over it's higher end counterpart.

The Melanio is a geat cigar, No. 1, ehhhh :confused: .....Oliva produces some great cigars so I'll say I'm glad they made the top.

With you on this one. A VERY good cigar that is justified on the list but a No. 1 spot   :whistle:

By far.  And the Melanio Maduro was a far superior smoke IMHO.  I have not had the figurado, but the Churchill and Robusto were nowhere near #1 in my book.

They're just trying to push a more expensive vitola.
