Your best cigar experience of November 2023/Last 30 days?

That cigar you smoked that immediately comes to mind. That cigar that if you close your eyes......you can still taste 

Name it, briefly describe it, score it.

My best cigar of the last 30 days was an AUM Jul 2014 Cohiba Coronas Especiales. This nine-year old Cohiba Coronas Especiales had delicious, yet light and subtle flavours of milk coffee, light hay, baking spice and honey and vanilla notes and stayed that way over 80 minutes of smoking time. It had very little in the way of mocha flavour, was crisp on the palate and was quite herbaceous in its hay qualities. It was quite simply brilliant.

Score it? Easily 95 points!

Once in a while I can remember a cigar, Esplendido LBT OCT09. As good as a cigar can be for me, 99-100.

Best cigar in November has to be this ERDM PCC 20th. What a beautiful smoke. Sweet floral perfume like scent, even noticeable outdoor. In fact, got two different tables coming over to compliment  the smell of this cigar. The conversation over the cigar was priceless. Close to two hours of memorable experience. 99 points😋

Last night with Clive and Tony (Miner and Joker). 2011 siglo Vl, the three of us smoked one each.

This one stands out. Fantastic cigar.

Siglo V (SOP MAR 21).  Creamy vanilla with bits of grass, citrus and chocolate - 94

Sancho Panza Eslavo that was generously gifted by a fellow FOHer.  Smoked this one while getting the smoker and its location prepared for Thanksgiving and shortly after getting the pavilion wrapped for the winter.  It was a delightful smoke and my first Sancho Panza.  Much appreciated!

Cohiba Siglo VI, RME MAR 12. I didn’t take a picture when I smoked it, here’s what remains of the tenner I bought long ago. There was a time when Siglo VI ten count SLBs could be had for 200$ USA. Vendors would put them on special and I suspect customers would add a box on to an order because, after all, it’s a Siglo VI and they do not suck. Any vendors reading this may want to take the hint.

BTW, it was a stunning cigar. 5 stars, 98 points, fantastic from the first draw right to the nub.

Bolivar CG PUR NOV15.

Absolutely fantastic - 2.5 hour smoke

One of the unfortunate discontinued /  dying brand that is no longer made.

Was fortunate to get a couple of boxes following the announcement of their demise.

LUB MAR 14 Monte DE. Usual Monte cocoa and coffee flavours but with exceptional depth and richness. Have nubbed every one from this box. Past its peak now I suspect, but to me still a great cigar. 94-95 pts. Take that number with a grain of salt, I don’t normally score cigars. Rich, delicious, great smoke and flavour output.

This ‘22 M2 and a couple stout with pals

Comment: “That IS a tasty burger.” Copious amounts of delicious mouth-filling smoke. Maybe one of the best cigars of all for blowing smoke rings due to the “estrujado” bunching and rolling technique employed.
