Chibearsv Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 2015 Siglo V tubos. Wonderful smooth cigar with creamy smoke and flavors of hay, honey, and orange - really good A+ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokyFontaine Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 The best cigar was probably a Trinidad Vigia from 2019, but the best experience was my first Bolivar, a Soberano, at a cigar lounge in Seoul. Was also my first cigar lounge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlson Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 HU Mag 50 (ESL ABR 19). Unexpected killer, and not my RG preference at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandboy Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 This one’s easy....ERDM Kon Tiki. Went into it with high expectations. The cigar blew right past all of them before the first inch was over. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itsmikeyadig Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 QDO54 from the 12 days of Christmas sampler blew me away. So complex and extremely enjoyable. On the lookout for a box or 2 next time they pop up and I have a quick trigger fingerSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dshot Posted February 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2020 A farm rolled that I got in Cuba over the summer. I've been sampling them slowly but the one I had in January just knocked it out of the park. It's nothing special actually. It was an ugly ass corona. But man did it pack flavor and burn great. I'm just shocked how amazing it was with a little age and how much I paid for them. It makes me want to go back and just stockpile farmies. At 2 CUC a piece it was worth the price of admission 100%! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.52 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Similar to what @Chas.Alpha says above...that ARS 19 Fundadores was so unexpectedly good I said to myself "holy sh@t". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parabola66 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 My smoking slows down in the winter months.. to cold to enjoy it, so I didn't smoke much in January. The best/most memorable was a Q' DO 54 in the middle of the ocean on the largest ship in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meklown Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Mag 56 EL15 for me. Hadn't had it since I smoked it fresh way back when I first got the box, but Prez's thread on the performance of the 2015 ELs got me wanting to pull one out again. I had it on the eve of Chinese New Year and it was a fantastic smoke. Brilliantly complex, coffee, cream, bits of earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmbroads Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Saint Luis Rey Regios- unsure of box code, but man what a surprise. Resting for about 12 months and I left saying “I need to buy more” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smatthews607 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Best cigar (and only cigar) of January was a 2014 Upmann 2. Just a great cigar! Hate winter time- just too cold to enjoy anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
