Your Best Cigar of 2013?

[paulF]

SLR Regios was beautiful!

[Cohiba007]

05 Sig VI from a box of ten. 9 have been fantastic. One left.

[Ophidion]

ERDM Anniversario followed closely by a hamlet robusto.

[LGC]

Diplo 7 with a darker wrapper. It really surprised me because the last one I had with a lighter Colorado wrapper was already spent.

'08 Cohiba Robusto. Smoked on July 28 and it was full of sweet coffee and chocolate. Very very memorable..

[finecigar]

ERdM anniversary tied with 03 Siglo VI (which has been a reoccurring "year favorite" of mine for many years). Just keep getting more refined in profile. The ERdM was stunning. A true winner for Asia pacific regional... Probably one of best regionals globally that I have sampled.

Hmm sorry Rob I have a couple. First is my one and only Monte 520 sitting around a campfire in the woods with the family. Great scene and it was a great cigar. Loads of cream and coffee with just the right amount of punch and spice I love in a cigar, its how I wish my Monte 2's to be and sadly the 2's rarely hit this stride. Honorable mention to the 5 Upmann RR's I;ve smoked so far every one I always notice that I just keep looking back at the cigar thinking how can you wow me now and they've been awesome, went many boxes deep on those. 3rd honorable mention to a Sir Winnie from 10' gifted and man it was a true journey, I've never had a cigar evolve so much from just great toasted tobacco up front to a med full with spice and cream then back to gingerbread in the back half, glad I got a box.

Another vote for the HU RR!

[Bolismoker]

I need to select two. Both have 2013 box codes and both are the best example of their respective vitola that I have ever come across

1. RyJ exhibition 4. This cigar has been off for years, the box I got this year is beautiful. Floral, woody, with a distinctly cherry note.

2. VR Unico. - every time I pull one out of the box I think to myself "now this is what a Habanos is all about". A true classic

Always been a fav since I was turned onto them a few years back in Grand Cayman, but the stock of late has only gotten better. Dollar for pleasure, these have to be at the top. I've smoked a ton. For me,cigar-wise, 2013 is the year of the humble JL2.

[Larsy]

This was mine. Summer night, sitting with my family. Can ya really beat those experiences?

[fookite]

The first RASS out of a particularly homely-looking MAR 13 box was exquisite.

[ironchefscott]

08 Cohiba Robusto, It opened my mind to the marca, and it was everything I could ever hope for in a cigar, Perfect in everyway

[BradNC]

BTO DIC 12 Siglo VI from Czars. Had to use some pliers to nub it.

[Surucipe]

A tie between the Ramon Allones Especiales E.R. Suiza 2011 and the H. Upmann Robusto from the Travel Humidor 2007.

[BigE514]

It's a tie between a partagas c3 I had a few weeks back and the Siglo 1(year unknown/5pack) that I smoked tonight which was just amazing started off a bit bitter but nice and moved on to a creamy coffee then finished off with hints of cocoa, I can still taste it.

[Perla]

From all good cigars I had smoke in 2013, my stellar was a 1997 ERdM Tainos.

[alloy]

Por Larranaga 2007 Asia Pacifico robusto. Just a Fantastic smoke. Have two left out of a tenner I bought.

[lexvero]

Monte 520

[hdryder]

08 Party 898 that I bought a short time ago from Prez. Brilliant!!

[Faire]

well so it seems RASS cigars are smoking well young? I have a Dec 2012 box which I hope to start smoking this weekend then

[Spartan]

I'm surprised that there aren't any votes for the Behike. I've have a couple 52's and a 56 that were just downright amazing. My vote however goes to a well aged Padron 80th maduro that I had this summer which was a truly epic cigar...all the planets were aligned with this one, I don't think the experience could be replicated. The Behike on the other hand has been super enjoyable on each occasion. It's a photo finish with the 80th by a nose.

[Mr.T]

Another vote for the H Upmann RR. Everyone of them has been fantastic.

[kwsaw63]

Got a 5er of 1998 Troya Universales in a box split. Have smoked 4 of them and they have all been fabulous smokes.

[NMJoe]

Monte 520 I had on New Years day while in Cabo. So good that I bought multiple boxes.
