Your Cigar of May?

[Shrody234]

2014 RyJ Churchill. My first ever and didn't know exactly what to expect. What I got was all smooth cream and a beautiful cherry note. 

[Drguano]

RA Club Allones. Very tasty...

Trinidad Vigia that I picked up in Sweden. Just pure bliss all the way through. Can't wait for them to show up here. 

[AlohaStyle]

A lot of EL fans here eh?

 

My favorite cigar of the month was a delish ERDM Grandes de Espana... not sure on year as I got it in a MAW, but it was fantastic.

ERDM is my favorite.

Just lots of love for the 2015 class. Best year of ELs ever perhaps. Only two released, but what a pair. Always nice when I can say good job, HSA.

For batting average, 2015 is the best EL year. Even 2004 had one dud--the Hoyo Epi Especial wasn't particularly amazing IMO. Obviously, the other 3 releases were great. I'd rather have only two releases that are both excellent like 2015 than the days of five released and four duds (2003). 

My cigar of May: El Principe. Never lets me down:

Monte No. 2 ARG APR 14.

My PSP box with the same box hasn't been shining yet. I will have to revisit in few months..

 

In my experience, PSP are typically so much oilier (and often darker) and they really take longer to come around. When I received these "seconds," they looked pale, greenish and barely had any oil content.  A year later, they seem to have gotten darker and have a nice sheen to them.

Still, I'm used to HUPC taking 4 or 5 years to start showing that creaminess - this one took me by surprise. I assumed I was going to want to chuck it on account of ammonia, harshness and tannins.

Can't remember if I smoked the '03 Punch SS#1 in April or May. Assuming it was in April, my cigar of May, shockingly enough, was an OLM Jun15 RyJ Cedros de Luxe (LCDH). Hated that cigar first time I smoked it. Nine months down along with a fantastic wrapper, great roll and perfect burn led to a very enjoyable experience.

My vote was going to be for a tasty SLR Serie A 2001, but I had a PL APAC Robusto this week and it blew my socks off. Holy hell these are still getting better!

[QuaiDorkay]

BOLI RC ULA AGO 14.  Amazing and was not expecting it.  BOLI is not a go-to marca for me and I usually like to age but man it was so good. 

[dicko]

Cohiba 1966 2011 LE...cigar of the year for me so far

[Bartolomeo]

Top 5 in no particular order

MOE DIC 14 ERDM Choix

MOE AGO 14 Picadores

2015 Regios/La Fuerza

98 Punch Monarcas

 

[PatrickEwing]

Upmann PC for me as well. Only a couple years old, it had been orphaned in a dry box for months straight. It was an unnecessary late night cigar after an SLR Pacifico and it blew away one of my favorites. Perhaps I should start to listen to the humidity gospel according to PigFish..

[NicPac]

Another vote for the RACA

UPE FEB 13 VR Unicos for me

 

[Perla]

My outstanding cigars for May are:

 

The revivied Cohiba IV from 2004

LGC Tainos from 2009

And an absolutly surprisingly Montecristo Joyitas. Never smoked before, bought them out of fun. Outstanding good.

 

[HavanaSunday]

Trinidad Ingenios

[SmittyinAZ]

One that doesn't get much recognition IMO....Upmann Royal Rubusto. LUB 14. Everything you want in an Upmann. Simply perfect. 

[ayepatz]

Not including Alex and Reynaldo customs, Monte 1 in Havana.

[Orion21]

SCDLH Torreon.  I smoked two this month and they were amazing.  They are expensive, but live up to the pricing.  I have had more expensive cigars that weren't even close.

I suffered from heavy allergies last month, and with allergies come (for me) a reduction in taste and smell.  I smoked just one cigar a week hoping that my senses would recover.  Alas, they did, just yesterday, when my potential sacrifice was an PSP Upmann Magnum 50 from MUL MAR 15.  I whooped with joy, as I was once again able to taste something approaching subtleties and rich flavors.

Simply brilliant cigar for being a 2015. Though I'm a Diplo "homer" I feel this cigar has what it takes to be a high 90's cigar when mature. Buy,Buy,Buy!!!

Same, that and a Reynaldo lancero.

May be the best cigar I've had all year!
