El Presidente Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 The more responses the better. Rob, I hope you and the team are doing well! Just reaching out to ask "what are the cigars of 2021 that have really surprised you in a positive way?" That might be too difficult so maybe "what is the last cigar that you smoked that really surprised you in a positive way?". Your last "wow, I wasn't expecting that" cigar.
treberty Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 My last LFdC Elegidos. Not very complex, but really good. 3
Bigpink Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 RyJ Mille Fleurs. They might be my favorite RyJ. 2
Popular Post Kaptain Karl Posted October 21, 2021 Popular Post Posted October 21, 2021 Epicure no 1. I've had some epic ones half way though the box! 5
Popular Post dobbs Posted October 21, 2021 Popular Post Posted October 21, 2021 h upmann half corona. was smoking something else that just turned bad. after i pitched it, i grabbed the half corona because i wanted a shorter smoke. maybe it was because my palate was abused, but that huhc was fantastic by comparison. they're really good when i smoke them as a first choice too. -dobbs 6

Best of the short fillers by a long way, but the price is way too high in my view. For me it has to be the resurgence of Punch Punch. 2

westg Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Every time I fire up a R&J Wide Churchill from the last 12 months still can't believe it 4
Meklown Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 can think of two .. both were actually "within expectation" in terms of flavour but stood out in terms of quality and performance BBF. I don't actually own any and been a while since i had one but was given one recently and the flavours were simply brilliant. Monte Maltes. From a box that I stashed away to ensure that I don't smoke through them too quickly, pulled one out recently and got hit with some fancy chocolate milk. I was thinking the prices were starting to go crazy but if they all smoke like that, these flavours are right up my alley and it's still cheaper than a Cohiba! 3

karp Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Bolivar Coronas Junior. MSU 19 so not strictly speaking 2021… just an amazing Bolivar with elements of dried fruit. Surprising and awesome. 3
Dynamo320 Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 21 ERDM Choix, given its youth, way surpassed my expectations. 2
IanMcLean68 Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 '18 PSP Trinidad Vigia. Just a couple of years has done wonders for this cigar. Found them a little to strong for my liking fresh, but the second from the box I had only a week ago and it was fantastic. 3

JohnS Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 I could give numerous examples but the last cigar that 'wowed' me was a PCC aged Cohiba Secretos, sourced from Altidis in Spain (and acquired from our host). I wasn't expecting it to smoke as well as it did at that stage of its development. 3
yossie Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Monte #4 Coffee , toasty and creme. I now understand why they produce so many. 2

Chibearsv Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Current production - Hoyo Escogidos. Did not expect the caramel, chocolate, marshmallow combination. Delicious cigars The wow cigar of the year without regard to production date - 2019 Talisman. I've had 2 this year and one of them was spectacular. Behike-like in its flavors. Didn't see it coming at all. 3

gustavehenne Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Punch Punch 48 LCDH. Was expecting a fairly average-to-good smoke and it just blew me away... Absolutely delicious. 2
