Your Best Cigar Experience of June  2023?

 

That cigar that just stood head and shoulders above the rest. That cigar that you can still taste when you close your eyes. Your best cigar of the last 30 days  

[NSXCIGAR]

La Gloria Glorias. Glorious. 95 points.

[gustavehenne]

Ramon Allones 898. I was a bit worried about the draw as the cigar was packed but it drew perfectly, perfectly mature and just shone. 98 pointer.

Followed very closely by the Oliva Series O Natural which just blew me away (I'm not a big fan of Oliva cigars and this floored me with how good it was).

the last of the box. 

[Belltownhound]

Still the monte #2 for me. My perfect flavor profile and not a single inconsistent stick!

I had heard some mixed things and some comments about youth but I found none of that. Beautiful cigar. I'm not one to pay $40-50 a stick but if I did I wouldn't have felt ripped off. Exactly how a high quality LGC should be. 

I've had about a dozen JLSE and to me the LGC is a step above that one. Better looking box too!

Punch Mantua - Smooth, well balanced, dark coffee richness and dark caramel in the background with a tiny bit of Punch nutiness.  Smoke 'em nice and slow which is tough because of how tasty they are.  If a little more time can develop some musty funk, this could be an all time great.

Yep. It was bloody good. Very light in body but very sweet. I read the post and this cigar came to mind first up. ,🤕. Particularly good with Matso's ginger beer.

Favoritos

I agree, I rather pay the money for a quality smoke then pay $15-20 for trash. I just been skeptical of the recent Habanos strategy of more bands more money.  I excited to pick up a box of these now!

Had one a few weeks back and very good. Think have legs for another 10+, I will wait another yr to sample again

New World Dorado.  My cigar of the month.  Adding in consistency, my cigar of the year.  Everything Cuban Cohiba wishes it could be.  CONSISTENT heavy amount of honey and citrus.  Some vanilla and coffee.  8 dollars  a pop and averages 1:45 smoke time.  Heck of a deal.  I have gone deep on these.  Mostly out of fear that the honey/citrus will disappear in the following years batch.  New world's were always an average cigar for me, they knocked this one out of the park.  At 8 dollars a piece (in fairness, I keep buying during holiday sales).  Cigar even has a citrus glow to it.

Totally agree. Extremely rich and full. Great leaf in these. They can handle 10 years no problem. I wouldn't necessarily peg it as a Punch at this point but right now 92-93 points with tremendous potential. Second best cigar I had in June.

Patina Anniversary from a few weeks ago.

[GavLew79]

Someone gave me a 2022 RASS in a trade. Smoked it not expecting much...

...97 pointer. Blew me away. Sweet, fruity, creamy, nubbed it. Amazing. Best cigar for a long, long time.

Nice, make sure it is the Robusto size.  Haven't had the others, but I thought I remember hearing the other sizes were a little different.  They date the box, the ones I'm going thru is late 2022.

GEM SEP 20 Montecristo 1935 Linea Leyenda in mid June. Really good example of that cigar.
