Your Best Cigar Experience of October 2024 / last 30 days?

That cigar that stood out above all others......that cigar that you can still taste when you close your eyes

It's a tie between a Maduro N°3 and an N2

2018 conn B. Start to finish perfection. What a blend, hope my 2019 cabs are as good. Close behind was the 2020 hoyo dc I smoked last night, one of the oddball cabs with the regular hoyo band.

CoRo two weeks ago in Naples FL. It was like smoking from a magical honey pipe. Honestly it’s the reason we spend thousands of dollars chasing Cohiba, when they’re on they are unbeatable.

(The other 2 CoRos were duds as was a Genios, so Cohiba did not win the consistency award).

SW 2019 or 2020. Can’t remember the year, but the cigar was perfection.

A 1997 Partagás Lonsdale from @cigarnv shared with two other close friends with whom he’d given the same cigar. Resonant, rich, constantly changing, remarkable in minerality and savoriness; retros were as easy as breathing in the first 3rd yet became so powerful by the 3rd/3rd, you had to plan them out — from a 27-year old cigar(?!). A testament to its keeper.

A house roll from La China at the Partagas LCDH in Havana, enjoyed on the terrace at Hotel Nacional with a couple of cocktails.

This one was running on all cylinders.

A 2009 BGM was exquisite. Nubbed it.

I had my first CoRo, (2022) and it was, possibly the best cigar I have ever smoked. I didn't expect to be blown away, even with all the love it gets, but my goodness gracious, paired with a Casa Migos tequila on a beautiful day, my god did I wish I could get more of those. Still have 2 left. How does the CoRo compare to the Medio Siglo?

I’m assuming this is a rhetorical question, but in case it’s not I’ll guess to make space 😃

Sadly no. @Puros Y Vino will have to correct me but I think it was 2012 or 2013 and I didn't feel they were smoking very well. About 18 months later I lit one up from a partial box I still had left and immediately Picard face palmed.

In fairness to you I think QC on this was a bit erratic. I have a few boxes and have had very different experiences from cigar to cigar, nevermind box to box. 

[LOMTL]

Clearly that Glorias I smoked for Halloween. Looking at my boxes differently now, ahah!

Original release GEM Nov 2019 Trinidad Esmeralda. These are coming along gloriously!

I had a great, rich Regios from GOB DIC 19, but no photo. This Monte 1 is from 21 and was also excellent. Few things compare to the pleasure of a really good, well-rolled M1. And smoking it in Yosemite after a day in the mountains didn’t hurt.

With the birth of my son early last month I didn't have a whole lotta time to indulge. When I finally did I broke out a MOL MAR 19 CoLa. Best draw I've had out of the box so far and the flavors are starting to sing.

SLR Regio LAT DIC 18 HQ from 24:24. Perhaps the best thing that has matured in my storage.

I also like to read Rob's saved annotations, which he prepared for each lot:
