Your last 95+ Point Cigar?

[El Presidente]

What is a 95 + point cigar for a cigar lover?

• It is an exceptional smoking experience. 
• Close your eyes and you can still taste it now. 
• You will remember the experience for years to come. 

I rarely experience a 95 + point cigar.  The last one was the Saint Luis Rey Double Corona from 07 reviewed a couple of weeks back with Ken.  I have never experienced a 95+ point Non Cuban Cigar. That is not a criticism.  I hope to do so one day. I hope to blend one, one day.

Now you may have a different scoring system but let's not play semantics. You know what sublime/exceptional is. Go look at the three points again. 

What was your last 95 + point cigar experience? Cuban or Non Cuban.  

List it below and do the poll 

Make sure to list your last 95 point cigars as a reference point for others

Cohiba Siglo VI MAR ENE '20 - I've only ever smoked a few of these (prior experiences were good, not great)  - this one shocked me...poor timing given the price increases 🤣, but very glad I got to finally see the light on one of these!

Doesn’t happen often.  This goes back a while.

I don't have the experience that some here have... 

But MDO 4 from 2012 is it for me.

[Goodfortune]

Davidoff Escurio Robusto 

I smoke Davidoff on occasion, one of the few non Cuban brands that I still enjoy. When I do, I usually smoke one of their white label lines but this was given to me by a friend to try over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I was extremely surprised by it and can’t stop thinking about it. I have 2 boxes en route.

MEG DIC 15 HU Noellas. I’ve had two from this jar and both were 95 points. 

[Tradesman]

HdM DC from my birthday a month ago

never had a cigar with such prominent honey biscuit note before, until now I am still chasing it.

closest I got was from an Epicure Especial I had a couple weeks ago, vanilla and cream bomb 

[Thirdcoastwatch]

SAT MAR 16 Cohiba Esplendido.    Every one from the two boxes I have is a banger.

La Trova.  Best cigar of the year. About a week ago.

[SmokyFontaine]

Padron 1926. Prior to that was a 2 yr old Lusi.

The last Cuban I smoked 95 points. R&J Wide Churchill TUA box code just gorgeous. 

Smoked a Rocky Patel that managed 90 points. It was actually okay.

[Hollywood Ninja]

A gifted Punch DC. No date or code but was assumed to be 2000ish. That smoke had me totally lost in it and disconnected from the folks around me.

A 6yo Fuente Between the Lines I had earlier in the year was wonderful. Less aged ones have not been quite as great.
