2018 Xmas Sampler. From left to right (with El Pres' original listing descriptions)...

1. Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona

The queen of mocha clove cream has been at the top of her game in 2018. Elegant to the last draw they have been smoking brilliantly all year and that is young cigars.

2. Trinidad Fundadores

The comeback king of 2018 has been all class. It has been well rolled using quality tobacco resulting in a cigar that is decadently rich.  It is the way it should be. It is everything Trinidad should aspire to be.

3. Partagas Presidentes

If you had told me two years ago that the president would one day feature as one of my top cigars (of any year) I would be in tears laughing.  What a turn around it has been. From crack whore to beauty queen, the transformation is now complete.

4. Punch Punch

It pushed the JLS2 to the wire as the best cigar $ for $ in 2018.  When people come in and say that they don’t like Punch I give them a Punch Punch from 2014-18. I can’t recall anyone who hasn’t been blown away. God knows I still am.

5. San Cristobal de La Habana La Fuerza

It wouldn’t be Christmas without San Cristóbal la Fuerza. Until last week I thought it would miss out as I couldn’t find the right quality. Then I found these. Thank God. Fuerza tastes like Christmas. Brioche, pancake, dried fruits. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Hallelujahiah!

6. Partagas Serie E No.2

The E2 is to Partagas what the Connie A is to Upmann. Sweet spiced cream, Italian trifle. I was tossing up between the Lusi and the E2. I went for the E2 because it has been the premier Partagas of 2018 in terms of flavour complexity and consistency.

7. H.Upmann Connossieur A

When you give marks for consistency, there have been a half dozen stand out cigars  in 2018. The Connie A is at the top of the list. Remarkable complexity delivering the best of Upmann. It rivals the Sir Winston as the best Upmann of all.

8. Partagas EL Series No.1

I wasn’t going to include any LE’s but this one forced it’s way in. The quality is extreme/PSP and the cigar itself has nailed it. The past 4 I have had have all been in the 94+ range. I couldn’t leave it out.

9. H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1

They have been so bloody consistent all year. They just scream shortbread….shortbread and slivers of almonds. If you don’t enjoy that profile…I weep for you!

10. Ramon Allones Specially Selected

For some reason quality RASS in 2018 (cabs and dress boxes) take me back to the superb batches of 2006. It is a raisins and light coffee. It is firmly back in my personal rotation.

11. Juan Lopez Seleccion No.2

I am travelling with one cigar to smoke on my way to Havana. That is the Juan Lopez Seleccion Number 2. That should day it all. My value for money cigar of the year.

12. Cohiba Robustos

It’s been a great year for Cohiba Robusto. Without it’s pesky brothers (Siglo VI  and Behike) around, it has been the beneficiary of all the love. Honey, Citrus, coffee and flowers abound.

I had one ROTT the other day as did@Ritch when I shunted a few in his direction. We agreed that they're good with plenty of potential but definitely need a couple of months to settle. So, you're wise to hang on til the new year and then see what you think.

I saw the first picture and thought “Who did you kill to get THAT!”

The PC’s are nice too though.

Returned from Havana tonight and bunged my haul into the garage to freeze (-4°C here in Minnesota is a shock) and am consoling myself with this absolute cracker of a box from our host. Upmann Connoisseur No.1 - BRE OCT 17. What an aroma! I haven’t smelled anything as exciting since dating in high school...

I purchased a box at the end of August of H Upmann Connie 1's that I split with a friend.   It is also BRE OCT 17.  Smoked one ROTT and it was a decent cigar.  Smoked another after 60 days an it was amazing.   Lived up to the reputation definitely got a lot of Shortbread, Coffee and Almonds.

Amazing stash!!  I had a 2010 898 at a wedding a few weeks ago and was blown away.  I'm now on the hunt for a box.  Congrats!
