Cigar aficionados- What is your favorite cigar you have had. Photos would be a bonus...

[DON SVO]

Best cigar ever? Man that question can be re-answered probably every couple years. Stand outs for me in no particular order would be:

 

Bolivar Poderosos

Bolivar Belicosos Finos

Ramon Allones SS 2013

Tatuaje TAA 2014

Tatuaje Mexican Experiment (original release)

Tatuaje Boris (original release)

Fuente Opus X “Power Ranger” XXX

 

The king of them all (for me), is a regional release from Ramon Allones for Paises Bajos, it’s a short robusto and An absolute flavor bomb. I got lucky and picked up the last box of them I’ve seen intact. I smoke one every year on my daughter’s birthday.

Dug up some photos, forgot to add to the previous post. I go pretty hard on Tatuaje, fantastic cigars.

Here’s a fun one. Tatuaje Fausto FT114 (mass market T110, Mexican wrapper) from 2016. Enjoy folks.

How's the Reserva? I was considering buying a 10 pack.

 

*nevermind, just checked and they're out of stock. The 10 year anniversary is available though...

which reserva? There’s a variety. Miami 10 is a great line. If you need a hookup let me know.

This is what I always pick up when I stop in the local shop and can't make up my mind. They have a Havana seed blend also (red label) that's very good as well. After all the callouts for the Liga Privada 9 here I'll have to try them also.

Smoking a Ave Maria Reconquista right now. Great smoke I picked up on cigars international.com

Very nice cigar. Nick R Agua is a great follow of Facebook and Twitter, that’s his stuff.

Had a terrific post-win cigar after YJS closed the deal yesterday. Hope everyone had a great Easter as well!

Holy crap it’s already the 2nd week of May. Time for an update. 
 

Tatuaje T110 from R. Fields Wine in Hawaii, store only release. 

[Skaffa77]

Good topic.  My wife always tells me that I've come to appreciate some of the finer things in life because of her...her dad helped me appreciate cigars and she was a trap shooting coach which parlayed into an appreciate for firearms.  

 

As far as cigars on and off the course...CAO Flathead 660's and Oliva Serie O/G/V (especially the Serie V Melanio).  Other Oliva cigars, Fuente's, Macanudos...always good!

 

As far as holders...there is a Cigar Minder clip that I used with my ClicGear and MGI which works well to clip onto the side of the pushcart and holds the cigar nicely.  Only problem with this type of holder is size could be a concern if you enjoy cigars with a thicker diameter.

Two of my all time favorites, unfortunately I'm running low lol.

 

[jb20]

Few places around me got these back in. $40-65 depending who has it. Hands down my favorite cigar ever. Personally I’ll smoke a Padron any day of the week over any other brand Cuban or non Cuban 

[jb20]

Sinistro mr black. Good medium stick I believe for right around $8

[Colej]

Really loving these Ave Maria cigars I picked up from cigars international. It’s a AJ Fernandez smoke. Did the Make Me a Offer for $35 for 5 and got free shipping. 

[1puttTUT]

Just had my first Opus X while on vacation 

 

 

[DON SVO]

Picking up more Tatuaje stuff. They’ve released 3 blends of their T110 redux.

Kentucky fire cured MUWAT from Drew Estate. Nice smoky bbq taste to it 

[MPAndreassi]

Picked up a T52 and No. 9 a month or so ago, thanks to this thread. Fell in love with the T52 and have smoked about a box since then.

Drew Estate makes some great smokes. Some of those Acid cigars I don’t care for but there’s a lot of the others that are really good.

The local shop I get my smokes from is a Drew Estate lounge so they get everything from them. If you ever get a chance to smoke their FSG (Florida Sun Grown) line that’s a good one too.

I really enjoy the Nica Rustica from them, the Liga Privada 9 still has some great flavor as well. I was a big fan of DE's Unico stuff for quite some time (did proto testing for UF4 and UF-13), I was sad when Saka left and they sold to Swisher International. Luckily some of their higher end lines have stayed relatively constant (no. 9 for example).

 

I still have 12-15 Papas Fritas from a cab I bought in 2013 (pre-Swisher).

A nice victory smoke after winning my Ryder Cup matches on our golf trip, as well as a delicious Cuban a buddy gifted me.

 

 

[MPAndreassi]

I don’t usually put too much stock into “best of” lists, but I try most of the winners anyway. They’re usually disappointing and don’t live up to the hype. 
 

This one happened to be very good though, especially for the price point.

I've enjoyed many cigars in time, but nothing will ever compare to the cigar I enjoyed on my wedding night. My FIL is a big cigar smoker and when my wife was born, he set aside a box of Cuban Montecristo #2's. The cigar was aged like a good sherry, full bodied, sweet, and smooth. It didn't hurt that it was paired with an excellent scotch and the best party of my life.
