Your Best Cigar of 2013?

[El Presidente]

We are into the final turn of 2013 and thoughts come down to the "Best Of"

You have to pick one cigar.....one cigar that this year made the stars and moon align for a magnificent experience....just pick one cigar that to this day...you can remember the sublime experience...if you close your eyes...the one cigar that you can still taste

Upmann No 2... picked up in a sampler earlier this year. Looked ugly with a cracked foot. Like a sweet spiced baked ricotta. Sounds weird. It was truly sensational. Just beat a stellar Siglo VI

Hands down a Partagas Lusitanias. I hadn't had a DC for a while before this one, it was just glorious. Reminded me how much I love everything about a good DC; the time, the clear evolution in flavour. A good Churchill or DC is as good as it gets for me.

Monte 520. Love everyone I have had.

Quite a few in reserve too (thankfully!)

I have had some absolute cracking cigars

4 weeks ago. My 5th trying of the La Flor De Cano Grandiosos. The first 4 were great. The 5th was at the end of a good day. it was dusk, and I was leaning on the railing on Czar Deck looking at the city skyline with a Cuba Libre in hand.

The LFDC was stunning. So sweet/milky, elegant, bready, calming.

I can still taste it.

A siglo V, first out of a 2012 HQ box i got from you Rob this summer. a flavor bomb for such a young cigar. i remember you saying it was the best siglo V's you had ever seen. well i beleive you were right! haha!

can't wait 4-5 years down the line to see how they mature. should be fantastic! thanks!

1999 punch SS no 2 absolutely blew me away, perfect draw, perfect construction. Went through a couple changes of chocolate and then coffee with a little spice and the final third had a great peanut butter note to it. Close second was a Dante 54.

Hmmm.. There has been a couple that come to mind but I think the one that really stands out and took me by surprise was the Punch Sabrosos 2011 RE that came with the March HQ sampler, in fact both were excellent. Bursting with flavour and with only 2 year on them. Amazing.

Funny thing is I wouldn't have even given these a thought if I hadn't picked up the sampler... Glad I did. IMO If they all taste like that I believe it must be the best tasting piramides you can buy ATM. Just need to find the money to pickup a box.

[polarbear]

If we're talking 2013 box codes it'd be a tie between The La Flor De Cano and a March 2013 RASS

[galtline]

Royal robustos are awesome

RyJ Churchill I had on the beach of Varadero this summer =)

Mine was definitely a Punch Super Robusto (2007). It was just a phenomenal smoke with a very clear evolution too. I can't get started or else I'll go on and on...
