beamer Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 You know, when that cigar is just "on". Maybe an old favourite that blows you away in a surprising way, or a cigar you didn't think you liked that surprised you? I had a Cohiba Robusto last night that blew my doors off. I like a good CoRo as much as the next guy, but I've never understood the people who rave about them. Well, if they were all as great as the one last night I'd buy them like crazy. What's the last cigar that was really "on" for you?
Ophidion Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 RASS from the first box of ccs I bought two summers ago. It's a jul 09 box (i think) and these few years have done amazing things. I just wish I hadn't plowed through all but 4 cigars in a short time. It was a perfect cigar.
mk05 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 ERDM CS. Unfortunately only a handful out of an entire box will have that profile. Just how it is with that stick.
Rushman Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 has to be an Epi 2 from a box I'm currently smoking. IMHO, these are generally consistently good - this box has been no exception. Call it kismet, call it the environment, whatever, this one was ON. it was a few weeks ago, and it just reminded me how good a cuban cigar can be. It was a very enjoyable experience.
Habanos2000 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 I received a small sampler of HU Sir Winnies not too long ago. The first one I had was absolute heaven on earth. The rest, while still darn good, just didn't hit that previous mark. I wonder if first time experiences with certain cigars leave anyone else always trying to find, with somewhat disappointing results, the same nirvana when smoking others? My most consistent "ON" cigar has been the Mag 46's. Some are great, all have been really good.
Ophidion Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Had a NOV 11 Upmann 2 last night that was incredible. I was shocked it was this enjoyable so young. I've had two from a box from JUL 11 (I think, id have to check the month) that have been nothing short of perfect.
Jason55555 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 PSD4 2011 from the Czar, everything it was supposed to be and more considering its a young cigar / add some age and
cottierm Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 A HdM Epicure no. 1 that I received from Rob last month. So good and so relaxing that I immediately ordered a box from him which, coincidence, arrived this morning! Best, Michel
Michel1968 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Bolivar Lonsdale 2001 back in March... thinking of it still makes me zooming...
gersonmorelli Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 A HdM Piramide EL 2003 a couple of months ago. Last weekend I had another one that was very good as well, but the second third was a little "lost".
ramon_cojones Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 For me it's been my buddy's erdm cs from 09, all consistently good though not one of my favorites. Also, 08 cce from EL always hit the mark and they're just getting better.
Lotusguy Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Recently I had a fantastic SCDLH Mercaderes that was head and shoulders above the previous ones from that same 2007 box. My first ever Upmann Royal Robusto was a contender for the best smoke of the year to date.
winelover Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 BBF I smoked at 11pm on a stag do in March. It was from Feb11. Thoroughly satisfying.
mazolaman Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Monte no 1.....proper good monte flavours.....excellent...from May 10.
coug28 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Monte Petit Edmundos from an 08 box. Smoked 3 in the past couple weeks, and all were excellent. Wood, cocoa & cream. Haven't had a dud from the box yet and I'm over halfway through. Can only hope the 06 10 cts boxes will be as good. Upmann 2s are also contenders. Haven't had any from my 2011 box yet, but my 09s have been stellar. 2010 RASS also should get honorable mention. Very nice smokes that inspired a cab purchase.
dvickery Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 out of my open boxes...3 stand out as exceptional boxes jlo patricias erdm petit coronas erdm grandes de espana of every 5(or so)cigars i smoke...3 will be from one of the above boxes. derrek
BMWFan Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 The Cohiba 1966 are smoking excellent right now. I have smoked one from the same box each month this year. They have improved every time.
sharks Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Partagas P1 from the jar I have, they have constantly been extremely good. I hope the trend continues Sharks
ramon_cojones Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 ^this is encouraging as I have a jar in storage that has yet to be cracked
Paneotto Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Party series p no. 2. I had one 2 days ago that was pure cigar nirvana. I only have one left.
