Your Cigar Of The Year ? (and the worst)

[yossie]

Let me write down a noob's comment.

Best: Cohiba Lancero or Monte #2 (It was dramatically changed after the summer).

Disappoint: Hamlet's very big cigar. not bad at all. I just expected too much.

Best cigar this year?

Opus X 'A'. This was the cigar I smoked to celebrate my divorce. Brilliant pre light draw. Like Swiss chocolate. The occasion probably amped up how good the cigar was, but, I have been yet to top it. Mind you, I havent smoked any really good cigars this year.

Worst? Macanudo Gold series. B L A N D .

Was a gift, and I have one more. Smoked well, good burn and all, but nothing there.

Best: montecristo sublimes

Honourable mentions: partagas lusitanias (2005)

cohiba robustos

Worst: H.upman: petit coronas

[strayvector]

Best for me was a Yolanda custom roll, with honorable mentions to '03 Sir Winston and '05 Partagas SD4. Worst was another SDLH La Fuerza.

I smoked some killer cigars this year. Smoke of the year and maybe my lifetime was a Partagas 150th Coronas Grandes. Worst Cigar was a rancid 00' Sancho Panza Corona. It's hard to even think about that one it hurt so bad.

Current production shocker was 08' USE MAR Upmann Conny 1. Amazing cigar.

[kjellfrick]

The best by far was a RA Grandes RE Espana. Pure bliss!

My worst stick was probably Monte Open Junior or possibly Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2 -07. Sold off the cab...

Best of the Year:

Bolivar Especiales No.2 ER Alemania 2009

closely followed by the Diplomaticos No.3

Worst (in terms of greatest dissappointment):

a box of Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.2 from ´98 (had to toss away about 3/4 with bad draw)

closely followed by Bolivar Coronas Gigantes (single one, no draw at all)

Best: Old Lusitania. I have never before experienced an evolution of flavors like that.

Worst: (Tie) 05 Mag 46, tight, bland and flavorless. Can't believe its an Upmann., 08 Cuaba Divinos and I have like 22 of those little turds left to smoke. Ugh.

Surprise: Fonseca No. 1. Not bad.

Best NC: Oliva Serie V Robusto. I like these, and I don't smoke many NC's.

Worst NC:

Best cigar I've had recently probably a bolivar CE. worst was a dip 2 which doesnt it wouldnt even produce smoke or flavour wise a magnum 50, total mutt satellite (thats poor by me lol).

[Leopolis Semper Fidelis]

[Cubanface]

Best CC: Punch Royal Seleccion No. 12 from 07. Couldn't believe the full bodied flavors this thing delivered. Intense and rich yet balanced.

Worst CC: Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill from 08. Sometimes you just get a bad one. It tasted like potpourri the entire way through.

Best NC: Padilla 1932 Churchill. Complex, Balanced, and satisfying.

Worst NC: Casa Magna Robusto. I think they've ramped up production to match the demand. Tasted like cow manure.

Honorable Mentions: DC: Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic. Probably my favorite cigar outside of Cuba.
