xmarco I spoke to a rep at Ccom who told me that they are expecting them in soon but he didn't know when. It seems that the Christmas or Holiday release is coming a little later this year. Wondering if the heavy rains they got have put them behind a bit like some of the others that were to be shipped or released but were delayed.

Don Carlos I will check. GOF sampler should be today.

Hey, I'm just wondering when the website is gonna be updated? Since Alex said the 5 GOF + Herf sampler is back in stock, the website hasn't updated, and I can't get a rep to order it until then

Absolutely!!! Attention to the consumer’s concerns/expectations will separate them from all competitors. I'm reasonable new to Ccom and forum but am quite please to have come across it. The "Team" at Ccom earns a 95 rating (only because I don't think a cigar can get a 100 rating). but if a 100 is possible, i'll give 110. What is the highest rating for a cigar anyway??

Mperconte:

it all depends on the rating system.

CA and all the other cigar rags go by the 100pt scale.
according to them a "perfect" cigar has a rating of 100.

in their (CA's) history there has only been 7 "perfect cigars"
the only statement i can find about what those cigars are is this:

Cigar Aficionado:

For only the seventh time, Cigar Aficionado has found a perfect cigar -- a 15-year-old Ramon Allones Gigantes. This exquisite double corona embodies everything that a cigar should have: beauty, impeccable performance and, most importantly, unforgettable flavor. Cigar perfection has been attained by two Dunhills, a Davidoff, two limited-edition releases and one size that's no longer produced, but the Ramon Allones is the only cigar still in production to score a perfect 100. (All have been Cuban.)

AND

Cigar Aficionado:

The Davidoff Château d'Yquem scored a perfect 100 points

the list that i can find is as follows:
Dunhill Cabinetta Robustos
Davidoff Château d'Yquem
Grisel Bolivar Chatele
Ramon Allones Gigantes (1991)
Cohiba Gran Reserva


seems that even CA doesnt have a list of the 7 perfect cigars they have in the Connoisseur's Corner over the years.
not only that, but their website is annoying and the search function REQUIRES you to sign up as a member to use.
if anyone can tell me the last two for sure (one is a Cuban Dunhill and i suspect the other is a Cuban Hoyo de Monterrey) i would love to know

Mperconte

Thanks, I stand corrected... 110 rating to Ccom w/ my apologies.

When are you guys going to feature Black & Milds or Swishers on the cover of the catalog? I smell collector's edition!

In an Issue dated August 2007, there were two cigars that were listed with a 100 rating
The first was a Dunhill Don Candido Seleccion no. 506 (1966) and the second was a Grisel Bolivar Chatelet (1969). Both enjoyed by the nobel James Suckling.

kaspera79

Looking a little further ...August 2005 issue. 30th Anniversary Cohiba (1996) 50 ring x9 inch, .....Dunhill Estupendo (1989) Churchill,.... and Romeo Y Julieta Torpedo (1964) and you can guess the country they all came from. All 100.

kaspera79

Damm it !! One more I never heard of in the June 2002 edition. Produced by H Upman( Jose Marti )1492 ( 1995) 5 2/3 inchx46 ring gauge each cigar has a numbered band 0-25,050 out of numbered humidors 1-501. Another cigar I will never smoke. Looks like more than 7 scored a perfect 100. I'm not looking anymore.

im searching now...

Tried searching their archives on the site (logged in) by score, only 95 and above. Highest score I can find is a 99, to a HdM DC from 1992.

yeah.. i got the same results when i did the same searches.
i think that is a search for ciars that are reviewed as "new"

the "Connoisseur's Corner" section is the only place where a rating of 100 has ever been given. that is usually cigars with significant age on them.

all don carlos and hemingways back in stock guys
