I like Tripps list, then Coop.
February 3, 2025 @ 3:38 pm
I like Bear the best, but it was a tough decision between the three! I feel I have tried more from that list, and the ones I tried from that list are exceptional.

Coop’s lineup
February 3, 2025 @ 5:27 pm
This was tough pickings. Some bangers to choose from!
I say Coop this time but Tripp is my second choice.
February 3, 2025 @ 5:30 pm
I am going with Tripp on this one. I was leaning towards Coop at first, but then I noticed the Byron, along with 2 Dunbartons- and that was just something I would jump on! JRE and HVC are also brands that I am fan of.
February 3, 2025 @ 5:37 pm
Coop! Love the Espinosa
February 3, 2025 @ 6:25 pm
My choice is Bear. I have enjoyed a larger number of cigars on Bear’s list than on the other two.
February 3, 2025 @ 7:20 pm
Coop got it correct.
February 3, 2025 @ 7:27 pm
Oo this is a thought one. But I am going with bear
February 3, 2025 @ 10:08 pm
I vote…. Bear Duplisea. The Cinco Décadas with the MI Querida was a powerful 1-2 punch!
This is a great contrst!
February 4, 2025 @ 7:10 am
All 3 of these lists were heavy hitters back in 2018. Bear and Coop, I would have to step aside and let Tripp take the win on this one. I have smoked 90 % of these and to me Trip has the most refined pallet. Or at the least the closest to mine. Thanks for the opportunity to compete. Looking forward to the announcements, as all of your comments and reviews.

February 5, 2025 @ 1:37 pm
It came down to Coop & Tripp, with the Byron 21st Century pushing Tripp ahead as the best draft class.
February 5, 2025 @ 9:58 pm
