As we explained last year, here at The Cohiba Club, we do our COTY at little differently. We make our selection from the cigars jointly enjoyed at our herfs, held during the past calendar year.
So again we’ve gone back and looked at the results from Herfs 31 through 40.
We weren't able to hold one April or July because of too many members being out-of-town for Spring Break and the July Fourth holiday weekend.
The cigars considered for 2010 were as follows (with our ratings for each):
HC Habano Colorado Belicoso (80) – herf 31
Illusione Epernay La Ferme (90) – herf 32
Ambos Mundos No.2 robusto (89) – herf 33
Padilla Series ’68 Lancero (87) – herf 34
Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970 Gran Perfecto (86) – herf 35
Nub Maduro 460 (89) – herf 36
A.Fuente Rosado SG Magnum R54 (87) – herf 37
Tatuaje Havana VI Hermosos (87) – herf 38
Camacho Corojo Maduro Cetros (85) – herf 39
Tatuaje El Triunfador SODO Corona Especial (92) – herf 40
The scores pretty much tell the story for this past year. The 92, 90, and and a pair of 89’s stand out above the rest.
There’s no denying that Pete Johnson’s Tatuaje El Triunfador (SODO edition) reigned supreme for us in 2010. 
This choice comes with the caveat that we recognize it’s limited availability will make it unattainable for so many lovers of the leaf out there. This was a one-time run of only 200 boxes – limited to say the least. In the end, you can’t argue with success and this cigar was just too good for us not to award it our pick for the year.
Congrats to Pete Johnson and John Ohm for producing and inspiring our Herf Cigar of the Year!
Second place goes to the Illusione Epernay La Ferme which we enjoyed very much at herf 32 at The Vertigo Club.
Third place goes to the Ambos Mundos No.2, also by Pete Johnson, that we enjoyed at herf 33.
Honorable Mention goes to:
Nub Maduro 460
Tatuaje Havana VI Hermosos
All great cigars, deserving of our praise and your examination. What great cigars 2010 brought!
Here’s to future herfs!
