With so many different makers and styles out there if you had to pick only one to give as the very best there is what would it be? And is this from your first hand knowledge or by reputation? :-)

Kristoff by first hand knowledge, I haven't had a bad one yet, but I am a noob so I look forward to reading this thread.

Being that this is the NC side I'll have to go with the:
Anejo Shark

I couldn't tell you "the best", but I can certainly tell you that my very most favoritest cigar in the whooooooooooole entire world is the Punch Double Corona. :-)

padron 64 natural

Which Kristoff? I haven't tried the Sumatra yet and can't say I remember the one I have tried off the top of my head.
[Reply]

I'm still such a noob so my experience is limited, but I'd say an Opus X.
[Reply]

The Kristoff Maduro is a great smoke...but then again I do consider myself a maduro whore.
[Reply]

Which Opus? The Super Beli. and Perfexion #4 are staples in my humi.

Best cigar I ever had was a H.Up Mag 48 on Jan 10th 2011.... I have had a few since & though very good, they didn't have the same magic of that one.

early 1960s H. Upmann Corona gifted to me by my good friend Allan.

Today, it would probably be the Tatuaje Cojonu 2003. Next week, who knows?:-)
[Reply]

Tie for me...Viaje Holiday Blend (2009) and the 601 Blue Maduro. :-) :-) :-) :-)
[Reply]

Everytime I think I have a #1, I smoke something I like better. Impossible to say. For the price point, tho, the 601 Blue stands up to anything, I would never let my humidor be without one.
[Reply]

Cohiba Lancero. These always deliver. The lowest I've scored a CoLa is probably 91-92.
[Reply]

Opus #2 for me
[Reply]

The Kristiana for me. Not a full flavor more of a mild to medium but just a fantastic smoke
[Reply]

Anejo or San Cristobal for me.
[Reply]

I don't have an absolute favorite. But the top 2 are the 2004 hoyo de Monterrey double corona, and 2004 cohiba sig vi. 05 plpc follows very closely behind. As does the skull and bones "?" release.

The 2010 "?" release? I didn't think this years held a candle to last years ROTT. Might have more potential if it sits for a while IMO.
