Your Best Cigar Experience of October 2023?

Your best cigar experience of October  2023? 

That cigar over the past 30 days that you can still taste/remember. The cigar experience that keeps you going back for more 

[Rushman]

Hands down. The Hamlet custom roll gifted to me by him in 2014 at Partagas. Smoked it on the most recent FOH zoom. Truly transcendent smoke.

Didn’t take no pics of it but has to be a Cohiba Siglo II from MAR NOV 21. Had one out of the same box about a month ago wasn’t all that good but this last one I had last week just blew me away.

I don’t think I’ve put up N1 for cigar of the month, so I will now. The 2021 N1 is quite simply one of my all time cigars and deserves recognition. Had this beauty on a cold morning, outside in the recently tarped pavilion, while handicapping Keeneland last weekend. Hit a BIG pick 4 too. It was a very nice day 😁

It's between these 2,dates unknown.

The Coloniales may edge out the Wide Edmundo by a hair

Tough choice between a 2007 bolivar gold medal or 2020 el laguito rolled Trinidad topes. Both in contention for cigar of the year

[JohnS]

The last few times I've offered up a difficult choice between two high-performing cigars, but this time this 2021 Cohiba Siglo V, graciously gifted by our own @ATGroom, stood out for flavour, smoking performance and of course, sentimentality.

First M2 from my ‘21 box. Hadn’t tried one yet, but this blew me away and I’ve been eating into them since.

Lots of wood furniture, cozy lighting, endless pints of Guinness, and presumably the warmth of not being outside? Seems like a dream. Wish I was there!

It’s a pub called Toners in Dublin. Lovely covered beer garden - like properly enclosed and heated - the type where you forget you’re outside. Table service and decent Guinness. Always great atmosphere too.

2021 M2 for me as well.

Siglo V I smoked in Japan last week. Creamy, buttery, and smooth. Bought as a single so box date is unknown, most likely early 2023.

A few great smokes last month, but this Fundy (TLU MAY 21) was almost perfect

[Chucko8]

This Formosa was the top for me

[PuroDiario]

The 2019 RyJ Churchill I smoke yesterday, hands down. The vitola just works in general for me regardless of marca, but was that good old days feeling of puffing on it and feeling it.

[prshah25]

For me a 2020 QDC and a 2017 Monte 5.. both were exceptional.

Bolivar coronas gigantes jun16. Beautiful smoke! Why they discontinued them I'll never know.

[El Presidente]

I have been rolling through a box of 2013 CORO. 17 in a month   

Wow. 

Certainly my cigar of October 23 

[MagicalBikeRide]

That’s probably more CoRo than I’ve smoked in my lifetime 😂

I can't even fathom the amount of cigars that Rob has had access to during his career. Imagine opening mastercases of Sir Winstons, CORO, Lanceros etc and thinking hhmmm, this looks like a good box to stash for myself. I would be broke, but would have one helluva collection of smokes.

Siglo 2 from ‘21 box! 

[Uwiik]

Trinidad Reyes 2023 fresh from 2 weeks rest. Shed a drop of tear upon first draw, just too good making me forget about my Esmeralda….

Here's a twofer for October.

Best cigar was a mid 80's Hoyo DC:



Best overall cigar experience was catching up with two friends (one is a member here) to share cigars, champers and barolo.

[SMELTZ]

2001 Vegas Robaina Clasico. Wish they still made em.
