Your Best Cigar Experience of May 2025? 

 

That cigar that just stood head and shoulders above the rest. That cigar that you can still taste when you close your eyes. Your best cigar of the last 30 days

Either RG Panatelas Extra or Partagas Short, both were great

For me it’s definitely a Bolivar Belicosos Finos from June of 2007. 

[Chucko8]

This for sure

[Ford2112]

E2 continues to shine for me. Had one recently that was up with the best of them.

[Li Bai]

Definitely this Short Hoyo Piramides.

JL2. Not even 2 years old and the surprise SOTM.

Monte Especial No.2, sunny evening, no phone, perfection.

Great month had some amazing cigars. Great catch up with Clive and Tony, '14 Esplendidos. A stunning Bolivar Petit Coronas, Serie E ...very mild but simply gorgeous...best cigar and becoming a favourite with age I think they age beautifully. R&J 2014 Churchill.

A Trinidad Robustos Extra 2020 - Robusto Extra Travel Humidor (from circa 2020 gifted by @Chucko8). It reminded of those glorious regular production Trinidad Robustos Extra when they were around between 2004 to 2012.

There were some real good ones I smoked this month. (funny how a vacation without kids lets you do that!) 

HUPC and HU2 from 14, Sig 3 from 20 were phenomenal. But the one that keeps drawing my attention back is this 898 from 2012. Much more refined, yet still with that savory kick, than the 2016s I have.

This one, Padron Family Reserve 45th maduro. Fantastic from the first puff to the nub.

[Lucas Buck]

2000 Partagas Piramides EL - these must be one of the cigars they’re smoking in heaven. 

[mbflash80]

It was too close to call between these two...both in the 94 range

[cigaraholic]

I’m a little spoiled, it takes an unbelievably fantastic cigar for me to remember it. This Trinidad Robusto Extra checked that box. OUS MAR10

[Bri Fi]

Media Luna with my son’s birth month/year for box code. MAY 2021

What is not to like when smoking a 20 year old Monte?

This Connie B really stood out.

[BG318]

2008 Lusitania.

Lou's sounds really good! State Street? 

[loose_axle]

These two for me. 

[SUP8333]

This El Rey was pretty nice, no hard draw was a super plus, I almost couldn't believe it.

[Tunkat92]

2017 PLMC. Caramel sweetness, building savoriness, complex with excellent smoke output and construction. It was just an all around excellent cigar.
