Your Best Cigar Experience of August 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

This one.

‘01 Cohiba Esplendidos - my once or twice a year special occasion or celebration smoke.

Dip 2 '23. Amazing.

Esplendidos - MEL JUN 16 - gorgeous.

AME Nov 2012 San Cristóbal de la Habana El Príncipe gifted by @loose_axle. It was that good!

[Redgoldband]

Handful of good ones had this past month. Tie between a Petit Monte #2 tubo, SUL ENE 24, and PSD4 SPM OCT 23 that I just had an hour ago.

Dipped into my CLE AGO 01 box of Coronas Especiales for a very rare treat. Damn near magical.

Would have to be the Sovereign Sun. It's now a daily I grab in the morning over a Cuban. That zesty tangy flavor is the bomb. Just wish could have that exact flavor in larger cigar.

Wow, look at both of us breaking out the ‘01s!

It would probably be the VR Famosos I had last night. 

[ElLoboLoco]

That would be the Fabrica5 Ninfa from the sampler. Completely floored.

I am smoking thru as many NC’s I have to make room for more Fabrica5.

GR Sir Winston was perfection

[Montezüma]

Highly recommended!

My first Queen Corona tied with my first Punch 48, both smoked at night in the Portuguese countryside under the stars.

 

[Çnote]

Just wow

A humble PLPC, LEP NOV 16. It was the first cigar I smoked with a good friend on the deck of his new house. He's not much of a cigar guy but about half way through the cigar he looked at me and said, "This is amazing." 

[Havanaaddict]

I smoked a 16' CORO last not that was extra good sweet, rich, strong!

Sorry for the lousy picture!

This was a very nice Punch Short de Punch (BRM October 2022) I had on a hot day.

[loose_axle]

All of these were superb. The aged Esplendido, provided by the generous @JohnS was a standout though. 

[MC4]

Nothing fancy, Punch Coronations A/T 2024

I knew they'll be good, but not this good

2020 coloniales slightly beat out a 2019 SW for me.

I second this. In the last 30 Days this one truly stands out above all others. I had to buy a few boxes immediately.

Is that the Petit 109 or the recent release?

[Ford2112]

Mine was a Petit 109.
