enough bickering! best cigar you've had recently?

[mmblz]

somewhat lame topic, but anything to get back on subject...


what was the best cigar you had recently?

[Danimal]

Jl#2

[germantown rob]

Trinidad extra robusto

[ComicBookFreak]

PSD4 and CoRo both fantastic smokes.

CBF :w

[dannyboy]

I had my first ever RP 1990 last night...it was pretty tasty, but I had high expectations going into it, and they were not met. I might have to give this one another try, as I think part of the problem was that I was not in the mood for this flavor profile. It always amazes me how much mood can influence the taste of a cigar.

The last one I had that really blew me away was a Paddie 2000. I hadn't had one in a few months (when I first started smoking) and forgot just how good they are. That and the fact that I think my pallate has become a bit more refined and able to tolerate the heavier smokes. :w

Hoyo Petit from the same box. Holy crap it was awesome! :D

[Da Klugs]

VR Famosa last night watching boston Legal. What a great smoke. Never fails to give me the MMMMM's.

[D. Generate]

Yesterday I had a 2000 Bolivar CE. The best one I've had from that box. It really hit the spot and I hope the rest live up to this one's standards.

[RcktS4]

ERDM Choix Supreme

[knuckles]

[Lumpold]

Sancho Panza Non Plus

[DrStrangelove]

BBF, thanks Croatan!

[calistogey]

Jibaro robusto a puro rolled in Nicaragua from the makers of Tatuaje cigars. Dark wrapper with a nice sheen and unfinished foot. Intense and full-bodied with great balance and produced lots of thick smoke.

[CrazyFool]

Royal Jamacian Gold Robusto

tastes like the old Gold again, with there 'secret fermentation process'
whatever it is it is truley unique and the perfact amount of sweet

[PaulMac]

Opus X petit Lancero that showed everything great about a good Opus!
Thanks to a great BOTL

[tecnorobo]

well recently i had a really good fonseca cedar grown,
and a pretty dang good avo le 05.

[mmblz]

I haven't had time for many cigars recently, but I was impressed with a Flor de Oliva Corojo that SeanGAR sent me. When I smoked it, I didn't even know it was a bundle cigar - just thought the flavor was quite nice but the burn was really funky (it was even worse than uneven - started burning in a spiral at first). Might have time for something better tonight...

[kansashat]

I smoked that '84 ERDM that Dave (Klugsie) sent me. :) Thanks Dave, it sure hit the spot! I reviewed it & saved it to Word.....will transfer soon.

Smoked a Bahia Gold #4 last nite that sure opened up for me.

Am smoking a AF 8-5-8 nattie right now that ain't no slouch.

[kansashat]

Royal Jamacian Gold Robusto

It's called "bethune."

[Mutant]

My palate is very naive but... I just tried the ERDM Robusto Oscura from a new sampler and outstanding! The night is still young, time to pick out another. Anyone else go a bit nuts when a shipment arrives?

I agree except that I'm not a fan of the Corojo. I'd rather have the maduro's, but the FDO's are one of, if not the best bundled cigar I've found.

[AAlmeter]

Anejo thats been sitting around for a couple years getting this weird powdery crap on it. Figured I should kill it before it's completely ruined. :cool:

Actually, first cigar I've had in a while...not a bad way to get back into the swing of things.

[theromulus]

03 Boli PC yummy

YES! One of the best NC's I've had in a long time.
Loved it so much I bought a box.

[jgros001]

03 Boli PC yummy
:tpd:

[vic_c]

Just had another RASS and they never fail to satisfy!

[PadronMe]

I had a Padron Delicias almost 2 weeks ago while shooting guns with my dad and brother. Great time and an excellent cigar. That was my first cigar in almost 2 weeks and the first Delicia in a couple of months. They are getting good with age.

[Charles]

H. Upmann No. 2 piramide. Hands down the best smoke I have ever had, also my first ISOM. I only have one left that I am saving for a special occaision. Hope to buy an entire box of these babies soon.

[JezterVA]

HdM Du Prince. Very nice.

[knuckles]

As I write this I am sitting here on a cool night in central Florida, laptop (where else) on my lap, and i'm smoking a Gurkha Regent Toro. It sure is nice that the weather is starting to cool off in Florida. Cigars taste so much better when you don't have sweat dripping off your brow causing a flame-out every few minutes!

[Mutant]

Just finished a La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 5 maduro. First for me, and a GREAT SMOKE! I got the recommendation SOMEWHERE in the forums, thanks! Looked to have lots of plume on the wrapper (if I'm seeing that right) TASTY! :p Was a bit of a hard draw about half way down and burn unevenly near the start after a good beginning. Just got them in yesterday and prolly could have spent a few weeks resting. Oh well, got another 4 and looking forward to them.

Opus X petit Lancero that showed everything great about a good Opus!

Best cigar I've had recently is probably an aged ligero wrapped Tatuaje Cojonu... that or a LFD Double Ligero Lancero.

[uscgme02]

'03 San Cristobal de la Habana La Punta (vintage)

Last night in a newly opened Cigar Lounge with good friends and a good Crown Royal!!

I read somewhere (probably here ...) that smoking Cigars is all about the 3 C's ... company, circumstances and cigar.

Last night proved that to me ... the first two are as important as the last one!!!

I'm sliding down the slope fast and hard, so I'm sure I'll have comments on many of the other 300 cigars I recently purchased (DAMN that Devil site!!!).

80's Upmann Natural was the last cigar I smoked.

mmmmm nummy!!

[Harpo]

Diplomaticos No.1 from 2000, my review on it is somewhere... :tu

[yayson]

I had a Perdomo Lot 23 that I was expecting to be a quick smoke in the cold shed but wow. My perceptions had nothing to do with the enjoyment of this cigar ;) it was so good it made me hunker down to smoke and enjoy.

These kinds of suprises are nice.

[reggiebuckeye]

Partagas Decade No. 1. It was recomended to me by a B&M owner. I will listen more intently when he speaks. It was delicious.

[68TriShield]

a RAG gifted to me by the Dreamslayer.It was simply amazing :ss

[DonJefe]

'06 Partagas Corona after getting my new tattoo yesterday.

[Benjy]

La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel in the Natural wrapper - spicy, then sweet and smooth. Just got a fiver of the maduro chiselitos from Cbid yesterday and I cannot wait to fire one up.

[jkorp]

Diplomaticos #1 from 2000. Incredible smoke.

[ritan]

2005 PSD4 and 1999 RAG yesterday.
2006 RASS and SCDLH La Fuerza today. All is good. :tu

[BamBam]

AF Don Carlos #4. Delicious. It is second in line for a box purchase. Behind Padron 64 Anni. Exclusivo Maduro (like smokin a Snicker's Bar).

[vstrommark]

Yesterday's Tatuaje RC184 was incredible. The best since some very nice gifted gars at the Stumptown herf the day before.

With very few exceptions, the best cigar is the one I'm smoking, because that usually means that I'm either herfing with friends or skyping with them. :tu

[BigVito]

[uhhhson]

i had a vigilante the other day, not sure who makes it im still a noob, but it was a very good smoke

[Twill413]

Cohibs Siglo II Tubo. Simply delicious, and from JUN 07. Need to buy a bunch more packs of these soon.

[Fishbeadtwo]

06 Bolivar PC.........still got that flavor in my head!

[LasciviousXXX]

80's Montecristo Especial. LOVE love LOVE these things. Makes me wish I had more. If I could smoke these everyday, I would :D

[rwhit37]

a Winston Churchill given to me by RGD. These are Davidoff made,too expensive and oh so good :dr

Good smoke, supposedly same filler or almost the same as Davidoff? Not sure.:confused: Wouldn't surprise me either way.

[Munkey]

a Winston Churchill given to me by RGD. These are Davidoff made,too expensive and oh so good :dr

Based on the theory that I should smoke the good stuff rather than collect it, I think I'm gonna light one of these up tonight.

[zemekone]

how did i miss this?

Ramon Allones Estupendo Asia Pacific Regional release

[cquon]

A '98 Punch Churchill just a couple of days ago. It was just freakin' oustanding!

Monte #4

[mmblz]

i can hardly remember any cigar i had recently.
what seems like ages ago, Partagas Series C #1, 98 ERdM PC, RyJ Ex 4 were all extra tasty!

[croatan]

I smoked a '75 Monte 3 last week that was divine.

[Andyman]

I had an 04 BBF that was very good.. Wish I had more.

[smitdavi]

Oliva V Figurado...Aaamazing!

[bonggoy]

RG Corona Extra. Not sure what year but light (nicotine wise) but very tasty. Very long finish. One of those where the taste lingers in your mouth forever.

[Bobb]

About a month ago, I had a '98 Charlotte that was AMAZING!!

[LasciviousXXX]

Had a Cohiba Sig IV yesterday that was "the Poo"!

[bruceolee]

I just had one of my Montecristo Robustos Millenium last night (special occasion) and it was practically orgasmic :ss The rest shall unsmoked until such wonderful occasions arrive. Great GREAT smoke and there was still room for improvement as far as aging goes.

[Major Captain Silly]

ITC 10th Anniversary was super good! Much better than the Rocky Patel Decade.

MCS

[jbudlives]

I had a CAO America when i was out camping recently...Really good...a lot better than i expected

[gvarsity]

CC: ERDM Choix Supreme gifted to me by Novasurf. Thanks again!

NC: Padilla Miami 8 & 11 http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=156004

Both were very enjoyable experiences.... mmmmm cigars **drool**

[Don Fernando]

recently, that must be the Don Pepin Garcia black (cuban classic 1979) robusto, lovely cigar, unfortunately not available in Europe :(

I like those alot and smoke a couple a week. They usually burn ok for me, I usually get the 5x50, they are one of my favorite cigars, especially after they sit around for a month or two.

[Will_S]

HDM dark sumatra ebano. I tried one of this line that was a larger ring guage and it was good, but didnt seem to have alot of flavor. The ebano however was really good, tasty wrapper. My first experience, I believe, with a sumatra wrapper.
