Your best cigar experience of August 2021?

A PSP Lusi from a 10 count ABO SEP 18 box.  After experiencing a cab of mostly plugged and unsmokable Lusis, this one reminded me of how good this vitola can potentially be.  It was one of those cigars that I wished never ended.

I had three SLR Regios from two different boxes. Just great cigars. Been missing out on getting more, but given the press that they are best in the first few years, I’ll enjoy what I have as I have what I’ll smoke in a year or two.

Have to say a delicious D4

Believe it or not, for me it was a 2020 R&J Romeo No. 2. I had a 3 pack of tubos tossed in to a purchase from last spring and I was pleasantly surprised.
See, my experience with affordable R&Js haven't been great up until then but holy Toledo did it impress me! A bit if pepper to start that transformed in to that iconic R&J spice with notes of exotic wood and rose water throughout.
I definitely smoked pricier cigars last month but that was the one that left the biggest impression on me.

Very interesting that the RyJ No.2 is your pick since they are such inexpensive cigars.
I like them too though and smoke a fair number of the No.2's and No.1's

This gorgeous and seriously strong RyJ Churchill from 2018, which then kept me up until 3am.

2008 Sir Winston - hands down

I forgot about this box and was thinking nothing of it. Close to a 100 point cigar as I can imagine. What was thrilling, was not only the Kaleidescape of flavors, but the cigar had balls.

 

 

I had one of my 08s last year and felt same way. So rich and complex. Top 5 cigars of all time for me.

In spite of how popular and well regarded the RyJ Churchills are, I personally just wasn't particularly impressed for the price.

It was a good smoke, don't get me wrong, but didn't feel it was that much better than other, cheaper RyJ's

GLE ABR 20 Trinidad Coloniales

This is the memory that keeps coming up for me.  I smoked it slowly one evening this summer and it was just perfect.  I felt so relaxed.  Strong dark chocolate but no bitterness.  Smoked for 2 hours. Don't have a picture of the one I smoked but here's the box.

Smoked an RA Phoenicio up north on August 30. I only managed to grab a fiver when they were released and I smoked them sparingly. This is my second last one and it was fantastic.  It was basically a Christmas cake.  Sweet, tart, rich, savoury, etc.  I envy anyone with multiple boxes.
