It’s bracketology meets the cigar industry. Tonight on Special Edition 91, it’s one of our most popular annual shows we do as we preview what to expect on the Cigar Aficionado Top 25 this year.
This year the show moves to the Special Edition side of the house and we welcome Hector Alfonso as our guest to help us with the analysis.
Whether you love or hate this list, it’s our most polarizing one and we will break it down – Prime Time style.
Born on a live stream four years ago before there was a Prime Time Show, this has now evolved into an annual tradition. On this show, we bring to you a comprehensive preview on what to expect on the CA Top 25. We will not only be making predictions, but we will look at dark horses, who is on the bubble, and who could miss the list.
