Padron Delicias Maduro. I couldn't believe how much more I enjoyed this size than the 3000's I normally smoke.

I smoked a fresh Opus X Power Ranger last friday, then a Rocky Patel Decade saturday. I liked the Rocky better than the Opus.:sh

Reserva Miraflor for me as well. I smoked a Lancero a couple weeks ago and was not impressed. Reached for a robusto and it was really great!

Reposado '96 Habano - I thought to myself, "why the hell havent I tried these before"

I bought a 5 pack of Viaje Oro Gran Fuerza without knowing much about them. Just love them, bought 3 more 5-packs since.

Just smoked a Verocu Tubo and I am shocked at how much it has changed in a year. I don't think I have ever seen a cigars profile change so drastically in a year.

Berger and Argenti Entubar Robusto (linky)... Quite a surprise and a very tasty smoke!

Pepin / Cigar King Exclusive: Havana Soul. The best stick I have had in a long while.

La vieja Habana, cheap stick but it was actually pretty decent.

I had a Boli Gold Label that I really enjoyed. I was shocked as to how good it was. More that the flavor profile was totally different than I'd imagined, but in a good way for a change. :)

I have never been a HUGE Patel fan, but I really liked the last few Edge Torps.

Gurkha Legend... The blast of black cherry right at the start got me all excited.

Re: What cigar recently surprised you?
 

JdN Fuerte Corona Gorda. I smoked one back in May and thought it was OK. I smoked one the other day while fishing and it was great!

Graycliff Château Grand Cru.

I purchased a box many years ago, smoked just one and never touched it again until this morning when I randomly pulled a Graycliff from my humidor. I quickly put the cigar back remembering how disappointed I was when I first tried it. For some reason, I picked the cigar up again, lit it, took a few puffs and then told my husband to try it, this time with a huge grin on my face. It wasn't like the first one I tried. The second one was a hundred thousand times better.

I never thought it would make a great tasting cigar after just a few years in my humidor. I definitely would like another one later this evening.

Punch (NC) Gran Puro. I didn't know what to expect from a Honduran puro, but this really impressed me. It had a deep core flavor of soil/earth that I loved. Draw was unfortunately tight though. I've got a couple singles in the mail to do more testing.

Avo Heritage. These are are damn tasty. Nothing like the regular Avo line.

Re: What cigar recently surprised you?
 

And a great pice!! I love the short robusto that goes for less than $7 at my shop!


I had a 262 Paradigm the other night.... WOW. It was as good, if not better that the Viaje Satori I had that night. I will deffinately be getting more of these!!!

Re: What cigar recently surprised you?
 

Had a Monte #4 the other day. I've never had a CC Monte that I loved--liked yes, loved no. But this #4 was fantastic! It was a gift, so no idea on age.
