Best stick you've ever had
 
What is it (or what are they if there's more than one)?

I really don't know what mine would be... Possibly the Drac, Padron 26 #35, or a Monti #2 :hm

Oliva Master Blends II Robusto followed by Litto Gomez Diez Small Batch #2 These were far and above anything else I have tried.

A Cohiba Selecion Reserva Coronas Especiales gifted to me by Poker.

A close second though would be an 03 Party Lons courtesy of Moglman.

Both were mind-blowingly outstanding smokes.

1995 OR Opus X Belicoso (from TanithT)... Absolutely the most refined and delicate smoke I have ever had.

There's too many to list, but the first best stick I ever had was a Padron 1926 #6 Maduro.
The last best stick I ever had was a Litto Gomez Diez 06 Oscuro Oriental.

Monte Edmundo from 06 I think it was.

Mine was a Padron 2xxx or 3xxx maddie that had some age on it. The cello was the only clue of how old it was. It was a gift from JK. I am still trying to smoke one that good.

Consistently Padron 64 Maddies, all vitolas. Pete Johnson's stuff is close, but those PAMs just do something for me! :)

Kristoff maddies. Great flavor, and excellent presentation.

Best stick so far would be a tie between a 98 PLPC and a 96 Cohiba Siglo I. Both had flavors that were off the chart!:dr

what's a PLPC

bigheadmark 11-03-2009 11:10 AM

Re: Best stick you've ever had
 
My most memorable and best smokes was one I smoked in our rental car on the way back from Cigar Aficianado's Big smoke in Chicago in May of 2000...
It was a Perdomo La tradicion torpedo which had probably one of the oiliest wrappers, richest flavor and smoke I have ever smoked..
the current La Tradicion's are nothing like the ones we smoked back then....

Right now I would have to say the two that stand out in my mind as the best I've had were my very first Boli PC and my very first Anejo #49

yourchoice 11-03-2009 01:37 PM

Re: Best stick you've ever had
 
I won't swear it was the best ever, but the Cohiba Siglo VI tubo I had while at the Phillies World Series Championship parade down Broad Street was mighty fine and quite memorable last Halloween.

Too many to list but the most recent stick has to be a Litto Gomez Small Batch #2. That cigar was so good it was shocking. I just remember thinking all along how I couldn't believe I'd never heard of it till a buddy gifted it to me.

This is kind of shocking to me, EVERYONE I have spoken with about these sticks say the 2's are horrible compared to the 1 and the 3. Glad you enjoy them :)

I never got to try them fresh. So my experience is only with them aged for quite some time and they rock!

Poronico 11-03-2009 02:51 PM

RASCC would be my morning cigar, Lunch Cigar LGC MdO #3, Dinner Trinidad Fundadores, and for the hell of it a Tatuaje T110

Tough one. I've had a number of very memorable stogies. I had several Party Ds from the same batch that really blew me away. I had an 80s vintage R&J Churchill that was simply outstanding, having had enough time to really get some character. I had several Montes that were a decade or two old that I thought were particularly tasty. I'll go with that old R&J.

Agreed, to date in my smoking career, the boris is hands down my favorite cigar.

Any cigar I smoke sitting on a lake in Northern Wisconsin becomes a great experience - overall.

I've had many fine cigars over the years, but when I come across these they always hit the spot.

Re: Best stick you've ever had
 
I've had several favorites:

1. 2001 Monte Tubo (The first CC that made me get it)
2. 1990's RYJ Churchill Tubo. (The first CC that made me understand why we age them)
3. 80's Davidoff 5000 (First of the high end CC smokes)

Yours is a 3000, not a 5000. ;)


Best I've had in a pass would be a XXXIV Feria Internacional De Barcelona Cubatabaco 1966, followed closely by a Davidoff Y'Quem (which was definitely not expired :r)

Best I've had solo would be a pretty tight tie between a Davidoff 3000 and a 70's LGC MdO #4
