MahDooRow Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Bolivar Corona Gigante from a box I purchased in 2010. 1
LLC Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 The one that stands out for me is a Connie A. When I was going to open a new box I picked this box because it was a lighter wrapper and the youngest of the boxes i have. I figured I'd open up this one and let the others with darker wrapper and a little more age continue to rest as I smoke through this box. Much to my surprise that first cigar with the lighter wrapper that I though wasn't going to be as good as the others ones was outstanding. Don't judge a book by its cover or a cigar by its wrapper shade. 1
PointFivePast Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 That SLR Series A from the Blind Tasting. Maybe it was the mystery of not knowing what it was but that was a damned fine smoke. I got a lot of sweetness in it which is something I love in my cigars. It just kept growing on me.

MrGTO Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 11 Punch Sabroso I had to go break into the kids fruit snacks after. I don't know if I was drunk or the nicotine got me but I was getting the head swims.
El Guero Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 BBF from a sampler pack i got last year. It's going on the hit list.
jmg Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 mag 46. smoked a mag 50 from 08' at the end of march, which got me to smoke a 46 this month. I've now bought 1 50 cab and 2 25 SLBs of them.
RijkdeGooier Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Not a whole lot of special stuff. Just good solid regular aged production. One white whale got caught by this Ahab though and that would have been the Montecristo Salones II. 2
Zombini Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Best Cuban cigar was this Picadores paired with 20 year old Tawny port at the Lanesborough Hotel in London. Best Non Cuban, and winner of best cigar in April is the Saints and Sinners exclusive 2013 Pork Tenderloin redux. Just unbelievable how good it was. 1
el.barbudo Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 DEC13 LFdC Grandioso Wow! Selectos are not very good, but the Grandioso was stellar. Maybe just slightly underfilled, but truly the best I've had in many months.
Duffer Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I smoked many different NCs throughout the month and only 2 CCs. Easily the best for me was a RyJ Churchill. I don't have the box code as it was given to me by a friend. It was so enjoyable smoking it at dusk on the porch of one of the most historic clubhouses in all of golf. Just a terrific cigar and setting.
Mattygukas Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Hard to remember but the young Cohiba robusto performed beyond my expectations right out of the box! (Paired with a nice cognac) Honey, hay and grassy notes, orange peel, light spice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
foursite12 Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 This would have been my answer had the question been "best box smoked in April". Haven't had one yet (through 3 boxes now) that hasn't been superior in every sense. I'm sure I'll hit a less stellar cigar, or even box eventually, but these are one of three cigars I'm stocking in deep. Just curious what the other two are, if you don't mind sharing...thx
Brickhouse Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Trinidad Fundadores a few weeks ago. The best lancero I may have ever had.....nah, that's a bold statement. But it was damn good.
habanolover Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Believe it or not I have been blown away by the mid '14 Partagas Aristocrat! 1
ErikB Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I discovered how good the Upmann Majestic is Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk 2

dougincanada Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 The best cigar you smoked in April?....ok last 30 days. for myself: Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure Number 2 from NOV 15 I didn't expect too much. Just one I picked up to check on how they were travelling. In my mind I can still taste it. Super sweet, creamy, mid bodied, coffee/Amaretto. If all HDM Epi 2 were like this.... there would be a stampede. I also had a great HDM epicure #2. I picked them up at the airport in Camaguay Cuba on my return flight. Dated Oct 15. The one I thought was superb had dense velvety smoke, with sweetness and caramel notes, mild sweet spice and a little bit of pepper on the retrohale. The only flavour I didn't get was coffee, which I haven't yet experienced on an epicure 2. That said the constancy of flavor on this box has been all over the place. Most are good, some are exceptional, some are average, and a couple were sub par. All from the same box. I would have liked more consistency on the better end of the flavor spectrum. The construction on all of them seemed good. I would like to see some more recent video reviews of the epicure line as your previous ones are from approx 8 years ago.Sent from my Lenovo K50-t5 using Tapatalk
Colt45 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Two for me: Vegas Robaina Clasico LPM ABR08 Bolivar PC POS JUL06 Both outstanding.
