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.

had a full box of punch DCs from 2000. the most bland, non-entities imaginable. ageing did nothing for them. so disappointing. was always told that there were good ones around.

I told you they were fakes when you purchased them in Cuba. You just never listen.

EPM November 2018 Cohiba Medio Siglo I smoked a few months ago...Magic. I smoked it till it was a tiny pinch of tobacco hanging off the PerfecDraw.  

I feel like I get a handful of 95-pointers per year most years.  Like cigars that I remember years later. And I've had a few that I'd rank above that.

 The absolute best NC cigars I've ever smoked were very memorable as well.  There's two in particular I'd feel comfortable giving a 95 to - 

2013 Tatuaje Black Label Corona Gorda (released and smoked mid 2014) & an Opus X Perfecxion no 5 I smoked fresh off the shelf in early 2015.  The 2013 black label had an outstanding flavor to which I can't even articulate an appropriate comparison, and that particular Opus tasted like a mix of Graham crackers, cinnamon, and red pepper.  I've yet to smoke another Opus that had a sweetness like that one did.

A 2022 Siglo V.  I can still daydream quite easily about the chocolate aroma coming from the smoke of that cigar...

Mine was a Cohiba Sig 2 the earlier part of 2022. Smoked when I  got conned into a weekend girls trip in the mountains of Virginia.  It was in the teens, froze my arse off nubbing it, but well worth it.
