Gary, I don't disagree, but then again, I don't fully understand.
The '08 V Maduro (NOT S.A.) is one of my favorite cigars; and I am still disappointed they switched wrappers in '09.
However, the V Maduro isn't even on the lists that I saw.
The Melanio is the CA top cigar of 2014...
.....BUT....as an aside and nearly unrelated note, I don't think the Melanio should have been called an Oliva V - anything....regardless of the year...since it is so much different than the core V line.
Good comparison point, delta...the LG SB's are 'named' differently....I just wish the bands were distinct.
And, while we're at it, how about the Viaje Holiday Blends???? One year they got it right (2010), but just try and figure out what year the one in your hand is from....the variance is 1-4 pts of RG.....and/or 1/4" or less in length....maddening
