The Month of May. Your best cigar

[Redgoldband]

I believe they were available via 24:24 purchases, and in the old FoH store (perhaps) in the past. I wouldn't know if they're available now. You can see how old mine is, in that image above, from the patina that had developed on the stand over years of use.

Gotcha. It would be a great idea if more merch were available. Hopefully there are plans for more sometime soon.

If you still have these on-hand, then I recommend that you smoke one as these 2016 Trinidad Topes LEs just keep getting better as they age. I was 'under-the weather' during May, and so I didn't smoke anywhere near as much as I normally would, but this cigar was by far the standout.

I have 2 of these which will get burned this fall after a day of steelhead fishing but great to hear!

07' Cohiba Secretos so rich and sweet!

02' Partagas Culebras old world Partagas flavor!

A P2 from ‘15 - best cigar I have had this yr (maybe even last yr too!).  Shitty pic but beautiful cigar.

Excellent. Looking forward to my first box of P2s. I plan to stock up on them over the next few months. What are you drinking on in the picture?

Since it was a little warmer - mojito.

I smoked a lot in May because it rained in the U.K. for about 11 months straight beforehand. 

My top cigar was a Fonseca Cosacos which I smoked in the morning with my brother. We both agreed it was a straight 95. Fonseca is possibly the most underrated marca. It is a specialist in lighter smooth smokes but if it hits right especially in the morning it can be heaven. To me the toasted tobacco, tea notes and light marshmallow sweetness are like the essence of good cigar tobacco. Fonseca has achieved the notion of a morning cigar in platonic form. It’s a thing of glory.

I have been very pleasantly surprised recently as well with Fonseca and starting to respect this marca more and more, each time I smoke them! The older No. 1's are smoking amazingly well right now.

For me, it was an amazing stick from a 2013 QdO Cornas box ABR 13 (MUR, I believe). Just beginning to end, an amazing burn with that creamy, citrusy sweetness that was almost orange-julius like if you know what that is. This was after a few hours at black jack table in Vegas where I didn't fare too well, so the cigar had an uphill battle of my irritated mood. I'm happy to say it definitely delighted!

Hard one to judge. A monte 1 and a Sig 4 from @Nevrknow is in the running along with a 2019 Fundadores and a 2020 MAR MAR E2. Smoked several good cigars in May.

It’s been easy 6 months since I had a lusi from ‘15 cab and it was fantastic. It was so good that the next day I lit another one from the same cab but it wasn’t anywhere as good as the first one.

A divine Siglo V (REG ABR 18) was just exactly perfect 🤤

My best smoke from May was this 2014 Connie A. Was absolutely phenomenal.

[Lamboinee]

First time with the Inmenso...this 2014 version was outstanding!
