Two questions: What cigar marque has delivered the most 94 + point experiences in your Cuban cigar smoking history & ?

[wine65]

Q1 Edmundo Dantes - every vitola produced was fantastic in my book. 

Q2 Cohiba Robustos have consistently given me the most enjoyment of any single cigar.

[Islandboy]

Trinidad

Bolivar Libertadores

[Tdm_86]

Are we talking relative or absolute? Because I’ve smoked so many of certain marcas and certain vitolas that in absolute terms they will unsurprisingly have more 94+ ers. 

In absolute terms

- Montecristo (I’ve had more Montes than any other marca, by a landslide)

- Double Edmundo

In relative terms

- Montecristo (still consistently delivers highest % of 94+ cigars for me)

- Partagas E2 (I’ve not nearly had as many of these as Double Edmundos, but almost every E2 I’ve had has been stellar)

In my short experience

1. Cohiba

2. MdO No. 2

Juan Lopez

LGC Medialle D'or 2

I was going to say both of those!  What are the odds!  Juan Lopez has been the most consistent (No. 2) cigar in the last 20 years.  Never had a bad box out of many.

[SMELTZ]

Cohiba

Cohiba Piramides Extra, never less than a 95

[joeypots]

Tough question to answer because Cohiba is the most consistent highly rated Marca I have but I smoke a lot more of other brands.

Monte Cristo shows the most 5 star ratings for me on CCW.

Cohiba Siglo IV........Because I love the vitola and I’m slowly burning a very good box and most are 5 stars.

For an old fart like me all the damage was done last century....RyJ Churchill by a landslide.

I can still see my father in a cloud of smoke, staring at his cigar and smiling 🌈

Q1 - Cohiba

Q2 - Lusi

[La_Tigre]

1 LGC

2 SP Molinos. Limited numbers but every single one 90+

[KnightsAnole]

For me it’s probably Partagas, but I’ve had so many crappy examples as well that, the average is about the same as all other Marcas. I’ll take a good box of rg over a shit box of cohibas everyday. Chances of a good cigar in a box seem just about the same across all Marcas.

[El Presidente]

1. Cohiba 

2.  Siglo V 

 

I smoke less Cohiba than Upmann/Partagas/HDM/Monte etal. 

However in terms of the ability to reach 94+ point heights, it has rung that  bell more regularly than any other marque. , VI, Lancero, CORO, Esplendido, III, II, have all repeatedly hit the 94+ mark but I have had my share of mediocre as well as straight duds. 

I have never had a dud V or CPE. I don't think I have had either under 91 points. So many experiences 94 points +

Pick one.  Siglo V by a short ash.

I find it interesting that Sir Winston is not on every list.

[El Hoze]

Cohiba and SW for me.

I find them a bit overrated. 

I mean, they are fantastic. But I'd never (ever) grab a SW over an Espie. 

Now I know we don't like to talk new prices, but based on the new prices, I'd buy a box of SW's before I'd buy a box of Espies. 

[HuffnPuffff]

Partagas, with RyJ a close second.

Partagas, with Monte a close second, for  consistency. But I’m buying carefully.

Esplendido, Coro, Sig IV or Lancero for the very top. Can’t reasonably pick one.

I read relative to the number you smoke. I have smoked far more many COROs than COPEs for example.

Comes to prove a bit the level of mystique it holds in this forum. Somewhat justified but definitely hyped a lot 

I currently have a few SW boxes ageing so don’t take me wrong, still like them. Might say Espléndidos is above for me too.

Great question.  My first thought was Trinidad or Cohiba, then I thought Upmann with the Winnie and Mags….but nope it’s 

Q1 - Partagas

Q2 - Lusitania (RAG is a close close second)

Cohiba

Coro
