I am sure there is another thread, maybe even multiple threads, with the same title. But people smoke new cigars all the time, so opinions may have changed. So....What's the best cigar you've ever smoked? Me, I can't really say just one, but I can say Opus X Petit Lancero, my first Montecristo #4, and my first RASS....

My first CC was a '06 PLPC that another BOTL gifted to me. Man, I was in heaven. It was a pure caramel flavor :-)

I wish I had another one just like that one.

I'd have to say that CC's Cohiba Robusto, HdM Hoyo du Dieux, as well as more recently, the NC Siglo I from Altadis.

No change for me. Habanos 1994. Period.
[Reply]

Now that I think of it, PLPC 2007 should be in there too...

The best cigar I ever had was a Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva (I posted a review here: http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showpo...70&postcount=1).

I am sure that I had other good cigars (CC and NC) but this one dwarfed them all.

:-)

I can def. say one of the best I've ever had was the VR Famoso that you sent me in return for the Opus. I still have one left and I can't wait to torch it. Thanks again Tom!

I enjoy a good cigar but don't really remember them. I may remember the 1946 White Owl and the 1980 Monte that was gifted to me in a going away herf, but it wasn't really the cigars that are memorable. It was the last herf with a bunch of friends over good food and drink that makes those amoung the best cigars I have ever had in my life.

To me good or bad really doesn't matter if I have some friends to enjoy it with. At a herf hand me a Guantanamera or hand me a 94 Cohiba it doesn't matter, as long as we are all there having a good time.








And it keeps me from remembering that HTF stick that was oh so great. My wallet likes that too.

Is this "the best cigar (we) ever smoked", or" the best 4 cigars (we) ever smoked"? :-)
[Reply]

There are too many great ones to narrow it down to one... some of the best are Cohiba Seleccion Reserva gifted by Shawn (silverfox), or the Esplendido I smoked the night my niece was born...or some of the amazing cigars i tried at Shack...

the most memorable was one I smoked with Joey (ir13), it tasted like I was smoking a bowl of cocoa puffs... to bad we had so much port, and so many cigars that night that we cant remember what it was :-) (I believe it was a VR Maestro)

Nice review.

Best ever?

So many I have had the privilege of smoking, but BEST ever usually means some sort of sentimental aspect was part of the experience, so....

93 Bolivar Royal Corona gifted to me at an early SoCal by Gordon who is no longer with us. RIP Gordon

I can think of three cigars that stuck out the most.

00 Party Lonsdale. For some reason I can never replicate that enjoyment and taste of that first one.

Festival Mareva - Tasted just like peanut butter :-)

Vegas Robania Jubilaums - My gawd it was sweet and smooth, I'm not crazy for Robusto Extra sized cigars because they don't always keep me interested but WOW...
[Reply]

I would have to say my favorite cigar would still be a Liga Privada No. 9.

For CCs it would be a VR Classico I had from '07.
[Reply]

what are VR Jubilams, never heard of those?
[Reply]

I wouldn't bother looking...it'll save you $$

Hoenstly they also may have great cigars but became even better cigars because they were given to me by some awesome BOTLs
[Reply]

For me its a toss up between the 04 Cohiba Sublime and the first Padron 80th ann I smoked :-)
[Reply]

EXACTLY the two I was gonna mention as well.

This one however surprises the hell outta me, you don't work for Altadis do you?! :-)
[Reply]

Best cigar? Gorilla finger, hands down. :-)

I don't really have a definitive answer for this one, as there are many cigars that I've smoked that have been great, and not one of them shines brighter than the others.

I guess if I had to say one at this moment in time, it would be '07 RASS.
[Reply]

Best ever - easy King Edward from the 30's or 40's IIRC that Hal (hk3) shared with us at a herf in Richmond. Each puff was like smoking a new cigar. The flavors and complexity were unreal. And smooooooooooooooooth.
