What cigar has impressed in the last year?

[asmith]

Which cigars have impressed you in the last 12 months? There are two categories here;

1). New cigar that you haven't tried before. Could be a Monte 520, Behike or even just the first RASS you ever had and it impressed you.

OR

2). Cigar that has come back to impress you. Perhaps you have felt the JLS2 had been off for a while and are now back to greatness.

Easy decision for me: HU Royal Robusto. If you guys would get them... I would buy them

[Joker]

For me it was a Juan Lopez Sel. No.1

It was the last stick from a Corona Gorda sampler I got over a year ago

Had no expectations - it was smooth & nutty, pure bliss

Think I need to order a box!!

+1.. I totally agree with Rob on that. I have gone through a box so far and setting on another.. If you guys would get them I'd be all over them

JL no 2 was/is great too

What's the profile of the Royal Robusto Rob?

[Colt45]

From category 1: '09 Rafael Gonzalez Corona Extra.

[Cohiba007]

I'm picking two from each category. 520 and royal robusto remind me every time I smoke one why I love cigars.

Category two, PSD 4 have made a serious comeback IMHO. Seriously good smokes right now. And JL 1 have been outstanding.

520 was great. Even better than the 1966 for me.

[LeafLover]

PSD4

+1! Nov. '09

Upmann Royal Robusto

PSD4

[Perla]

1: ERdM Lonsdale & Elegantes. For me the discovery of the last month.

2: Juan Lopez Petit Corona. I really forgot about how lovely they are.

[Charltonc]

[DougB]

Upmann Half Coronas

[sw15825]

New try = QDO Coronas

Back to glory = Epicure #2.

After reading this I think I need to order a box of D4s and Royal Robustos. I have not smoked a decent D4 since 2008. The last I had from 2009 were not very good.

[bacalao]

Gifted a couple SCDLH La Puntas from a fellow foh member. Loved every second of it will be my next box purchase.

[Overproof]

PL Encantos

[Paneotto]

R&J Short Churchill. Every one I have smoked has been glorious.

[David67]

Sorry, had to just deleat my last post, as I misunderstod the question.

Okay the new cigar that has most impressed me was the Montecristo 520 Good God that was a cigar!

As for regular production that has impressed me the most: Bolivar Royal Coronas - but that is hardly a surprise.
