El Presidente Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 We are coming up to the final straight as far as the year goes. From what you have smoked/tried, what would put up as your contenders for the cigar of the year. Note the only qualification will be that the cigar will be from 2018 -2019 * Give it some thought. Put up no more than three contenders from what has really impressed you. Consider this the preliminary round to the 2019 cigar of the Year *For those who are about to post that they only smoke cigars 5 years or older.....no need....we are really happy for you 1
Wailbait Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 I only smoke cigars that are Fi- .... Doh!!! Had a great quai 50 and a great Upmann Connie 1. I think both were from December 2018.
Notsocleaver Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 The ESL Mag 50 run has been my hands down cigar of the year. Probably my cigar of the past 3 years even. And for the ones I got before the price hike are probably my value buy of the year too. But I love Upmann and fruity Upmann is my favorite Upmann.
joshhooper7 Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Thank God for saving all of my reviews on an app that I can sort by box code! Ive reviewed two cigars from 18 and beyond, a Montecristo Especial No 2 and a Cohiba Corona Especial. Oddly they’re the same vitola. I’ve also smoked a Romeo Y Julieta Tacos that I received from the FOHnies but didn’t score it. I wish I had because I believe that would’ve been my top contender. Absolute DYNAMITE cigar. Thankful to have a box resting. Of the other two, I scored the Monte a 89 and the Cohiba a 93. Without my review template in front of me I’d guess the RYJ was around a 95, the construction and burn were perfect and the flavors a true delight.

Guest Nekhyludov Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 For me, the three best cigars that I've had - that were rolled in 2018 or 2019 - are: 1. Trinidad La Trova MUP OCT 18 - I've smoked half a box of these, and every one has been unbelievably rich and refined. More so than any cigar this young has any right to be. 2. La Gloria Cubana Orgullosos RE Suiza MSU OCT 18 - after a quarter of a box, I'm satisfied that these are exemplars of LGC DNA, and convinced that they will age beautifully. 3. Partagas Serie E No. 2 MSU MAR 18 - all three fivers I've smoked have been consistently fantastic, no aging required.
NSXCIGAR Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 The three that have consistently scored highest for me in 18/19 are: SC La Fuerza Monte DE Party Lusi Special mention goes to the Connie A as it's always up there. 1
Islandboy Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 They’re all monsters for me, but what can I say? They've all tasted outstanding fresh: La Trova Parti E2 Boli Libertadores I even managed to score a 2016 box of Libertadores recently, but don’t find them to be bursting with flavor like the 2018’s.
Raskol Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Would have to agree on the Partagas Serie E No. 2. Only smoked 2 fivers. Consistent & very good. 1. Partagas Serie E No. 2 MSU MAR 18 2. Quai d'Orsay No. 54 MSU JUL 18 3. H. Upmann Connoisseur A REG MAR 18
Chef Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 As preliminary choices, I’m going to have to go with... 1. H. Upmann No.2 2. JL Seleccion No.1 3. PL Montecarlo
JohnS Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 1. ARS Mar 2018 Trinidad La Trova LCDH 2. SMA Jul 2018 Quai d’Orsay No.50 3. LGR Jun 2018 San Cristobal de La Habana La Fuerza 1
SansSin Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 trinidad vigia, JLS2, and monte 4 have been my favorites so far. i have some lusi and a box of maduro no.1 i just got today i haven't tried yet though, they both look like they could replace one or two of my favorites.?
SigmundChurchill Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 #1 UAO ENE 18 Cohiba Talisman #2 MOL JUN 18 Cohiba Siglo VI #3 QdO Capitolio (I forget the box code)

Gamehawker Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 I usually do not smoke young cigars but I smoked an H. Upmann Connie B "UBM ENE 19" and it was very good for being so young. So I vote an H. Upmann Connie B.
TTP21 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 BBF - UER NOV 18 Connie A - BRE NOV 18 ERDM Choix - BRO NOV 18 Cohiba Siglo II - UBM FEB 19
Cayman17 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 ‘18-‘19 PSD4 have been my favorites of the recent production. I think the Mag 46s and Mag 50s need more time. 1
Meklown Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 La Trova and a box of PSP RASS I bought a few months ago
captain Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I had the best siglio vi of my life this year... partagas Maduro no 1

DaBoot Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Partagas Serie E No. 2. Just WOW every time!!!!! Connie A.... Pure class only 2 worth being the top contender that I’ve smoked 2
havanaclub Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 La Trova RAG FEB 18 LGC Swiss regional MSU SEP 18 BRC MSU FEB 18 (Didn’t want to put all double banders as I tend to lean towards avoiding them and prefer the value in regular production, but the Dip Ammunition LGR OCT 18 have been phenomenal) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
