investandprosper Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 '09 Partagas 898 Varnished hands down. Decadent cigar.
cliff Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 to be honnest, my best cigar was the new H.upmann half corona, it had quite a special taste. the worst cigar was the Montecristo gran reserva... that was a bummer. the reviews (photo's) can be seen here and here.
Omskakas Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 RyJ Duke 2009 by far. I made a quick review about it on the reviews forum.
Cohiba007 Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 PL magnifico. It was the fifth one that I have smoked and the first in the last 6 months. It was by far the best, most flavorful cigar of the month and the best one so far.
joeypots Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 '02 Partagas Lusitania Cabinet selection. It made clear the benefits of buying and aging my own cigars.
ksblazer Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I smoked a SCdlH El Principe last week that really suprised me. I've never had one that was anywhere near this good. It had some tangy fruity flavors that I've never tasted before in a cigar with some nice macadamia nut like flavor as well. The best short cigar I've smoked in some time. It's got me thinking about making a box purchase. Have the recent El Principes been smoking this well? Or did I just get a special one?
cgarner Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 A toss up between a wonderful Trinidad Robusto T and a Partagas Series D. #4. Both were excellent examples of what I hope/want the remaining sticks in the box to represent.
dicko Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 ramon allones superiores. 2nd from my box. much improved on the first i had. really looking foward to trying the remaining 8 they should be crackers...!
PigFish Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I think I smoke great cigars all the time. There has not been standouts on the good side. My normal cigars have been great, others, such as the test cigars were the low points. I recently opened a cab of '06 Party Shorts which I expected to be fantastic but are what I consider about average. I have been inhaling a box of '02 La Puntas which have been top drawer. I have killed most of the box in a couple of weeks. The best have been the: '02 La Puntas '01 RG CE's '05 Monte Esp #2
dB69 Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 This is a tough question. I can't give only one answer. - Monte A (-10) was excellent. The most unforgettable flavours were mouthful of rich honey in the end of the first third and also vanilla from start to finish. I was also amazed that the cigar didn't taste young at all. This was my first ever A, so it's easy to remember. - Smoked also always excellent Partys - Corona (-02), Lonsdale (-01), Shorts (-07 & -08) and SdC3 (-07). If I should pick only one box of these mentioned, I would take a box of Party Lonsdales and Coronas... Boxes that I wouldn't buy based on the samples I have smoked during the last 30 days are: - Saint Luis Rey Churchill - Nothing wrong, but a bit too mild and simple for my taste. - Diplomaticos #2 - Boring. Same **** as Party P2. Maybe I just can't smoke piramides. - RyJ Churchill - Well, the same explanation as with SLRCs. If I were a morning smoker, then these all could be smokable, maybe. But I'm not.
kevinfj Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Partagas Lusitania. Smoked it in Kiawah Island last week while playing Osprey Point. Wonderful smoke. By the way, played Ocean Course, site of the 2012 PGA Championship in 20-30mph winds. Almost unplayable........... FJ
Puros Y Vino Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 BHK54 in Mexico while relaxing with the wife. These babies will only get better. A close second and third. A 3YO Punch Double Corona. My first ever and boy was it grand! And a Bolivar GM. What a classic. I'd love to try an original release one.
Matt Day Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 an 08 monte 2 thoguth saying that ahd alot of good solid ciagrs this month bu tthtas the one wich sticks out in my mind

amosnaim Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Partagas P.2. Few days ago, just got the shipment from the Czar and couldn't help myslef. Was trully amazing: smooth, spicy and with waves of fruit cake flavours. outstanding.
lemmycaution Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 VR Unicos 2010, just incredible. Ironically, from the same box, it was also my worst cigar in the last thirty days.
Dbone Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Wow, lots of good cigars! Mine was a Cohiba Maduro 5 Magicos from 2007. Cedar and chocolate, absolutely spectacular.
