Your best cigar experience of July 2024?

[El Presidente]

What was your best cigar experience of July 2024? 

The cigar over the past 30 days that really stood out for you.....the one that when you close your eyes, you can recall third by third as bliss 

[Greenhorn2]

I would have to say it was a 2020 Cohiba Sig V.

[PartagasIV]

GES ENE23 Partagas E#2 was stellar.

[chasy]

UBL Apr 22 Partagas Serie P 2

[Jerryvonkramer]

The Connie A I had on 12th July here.

[Ford2112]

Punch Double Corona. I burned my fingers nubbing it!

[Li Bai]

A VR Famosos, my very first one btw.

[X-Man]

Most memorable: TriniDAD Esmeralda, as it was the first cigar I smoked after birth of Baby Sal.

The best tasting cigar in July was this PArtagas Reserva D4.

Punch Double Corona from a 2019 box (can't remember the code). Absolutely delicious and a very welcome surprise, as I haven't enjoyed much from the Punch marca, but these redeem them ye gods.

The RyJ Belicoso GRM 21 I had to kick off the month was a real banger..

[gormag38]

This 2014 QDOCC was probably my best of the month. Orange/citrus cream flavors in spades. Everything about it was excellent. 

Close second would have to be this BRE JUL 18 Connie B. Very subtle to begin with but had some great complexity throughout the thirds. The only reason it wasn't my top smoke was cause of the crappy burn due to a banged up wrapper at the beginning.

Siglo III PUR SEP 15

I wish I knew then what I know now.

[Shakey]

Juan Lopez Seleccion #2. The first box of (hopefully) many to come. 

[SMELTZ]

OER JUN 20 Punch Double Corona, beating out my Cohib Sig V 

[Groucho.]

Got no photo but was in Sint Maarten from 6/18 to 7/13 and purchased a single Montie #2, hadn't smoke one in a while and I rarely have good luck with those. I wrote down the box code in an effort to return and buy a box if the single was good, my usual "try and buy". They had two unopened boxes and the one I purchased my single from, 2023. My single was spectacular right out of the box.I went back the next day and they were sold out. Someone came in and did what I did but returned later that day and took everything, even the opened box singles.

So it was a great July experience with a bittersweet ending.

LTO Sep 2020 Cohiba Coronas Especiales, just ahead of a REG Sep 2019 Cohiba Siglo V.

[MagicalBikeRide]

UGO ‘17 👌

[Lt4-396]

19' Punch 898 Asia RE, easy 96pointer

A close second and #1 NC was actually a Spada Gorda purchased when first released.

[hrs1]

MAR OCT 20 CoLa & MAR JUN 20 Siglo VI were exceptional last month

[Fireball]

VR Famoso BSM JUN 20. One of those times when I’m smoking and I look at the cigar and think ‘I can’t believe how good this is’. It had it all, start to finish.

I'm headed down to St. Maarten in November and was planning on visiting Carole in Marigot. Did you go there, or to the new LCDH in Phillipsburg,  or both? Any insight would be appreciated.

Punch 8-9-8 from REG OCT 19 box. It was not only one of the best CCs I ever had but also a special CC since dat Punch 8-9-8 was a comeback of the Kimfessions Series. I wish that I have moar boxes of them

Has Punch made a bad cigar in the last 3 years?

I have enjoyed every punch I've smoked since 2020.
