Your nomination for Cigar of October?

Party 898 and the Tampa custom

[Rogers72]

Best: VR Unicos. I think my box is from early 08. Rich cocoa and spice.

Worst: H. Upmann Mag 50. I think from early 08. Bland, no smoke, 80% either way too light to draw or way too hard.

On Halloween evening, I revisited and HQ ERDM CS that was bought back in Feb. This cigars was outstanding!! A sign of good things to come in future months and a sign that even a few months of age can do a cigar a world of good!!

Bolivar PC from 08

[Habanos2000]

My last '08 Party 898 from a 10 ct box that was simply outstanding. Rich, full body, wonderful aroma starting at cold and even the wife commented that it smelled good when I was finished.

Diplo 2- July 08

These are stone fruits (I have never seen it spelled the way you spell it and can't find a "stonefruit" anywhere in google):

jujube, mango, olive, most palms (including date, coconut and oil palms), and all members of the genus Prunus: apricot, cherry, damson, nectarine, peach, and plum.

I have smoked more than 200 Magnum 50's. I get a little fruitiness, I guess, now that you mention it. But, I get mostly the trademark Upmann rich, toasted tobacco. Straightforward tobacco.

I think the "stonefruit" spelling is just a common combination.

I get the stonefruit aspects in leaps and bounds in my Magnum 46's. And, when I think of stonefruit (a term that we don't actually really use in Canada), and what I believe Ken and Rob and others are referring to, I believe its the nectarines/peaches/plums/apricots aspects. Olive is not a "fruity" taste, IMO, even if it's termed a technical "stone fruit". My thoughts, anyways.

1) Second Charltonc's nomination for Boli PC 08's.

2) Boli CE

[jfire]

I would easily say the PL Asia Re (07s). It was gifted to me and half way thru I was already ordering a box. Absolutely fantastic cigar that is already aging well and shows even more potential. Taking every thing I have to keep out of the new box right now.

I've been captivated by a box of HQ Bolivar Corona Juniors from TEB JUN '08. Little flavor bombs, I've had one most mornings with coffee in October.

[hoseboss]

08 bolivar CG, very smooth and flavorful and close second is 08 party 898

[imark]

09 Monte # 2

[russell1755]

Mag 50 and the Punch RS 11 both from 08

[redlir]

Definitely the MPE OCT 09 HQ Monte 4's I grabbed. These things are just tastey business all around. Absolutely what I remember a great monte 4 to be!

[thechenman]

The best cigar I smoked in October was a Punch Churchill from 1998. More receent prodcution would be a toss up between a 2008 PLPC and a 2009 Monte 2.

[habanohal]

gONNA HALFN TOO go with the 06 EL Monty Robusto,. Finally they taste great. Been crap for the past year and now have evolved

[soltino]

LGC Tainos 05. Just fantastic. Opened up with a bang, smoothed out into grassy lemon zest, ended with some more robust chocolately notes. Wish I'd bought more
