What is your best stick ever?

[Bax]

Mithshrike stared a thread about your favorite stick, but I'm curious as to your best ever? The one that you compared all others too. I know it's hard to say as your tastes change and where, when and with whom you smoked, but is there one stick that just stands out in your memory as " Now this is what it's supposed to be like!"


For me it was a Cohiba Lancero followed closely by my first Oliva V.

I have to say it was the 07 RyJ EL Escudos or a Cohiba Esplendidos. now I've only had 2 RyJs and 1 of the Cohiba but those were the two that first stuck out in my mind.

PSD4 havent had to many others that are better, but im sure you guys will let me know

04 Cohiba Sublime

Of course those Habanos Torres Ugly Sticks. Also I had an '06 Montecristo No. 2 a little while back that was excellent.

Well, as we are on this side of the fence....Camacho 11/18 Triple Maduro, Litto Gomez Diez Chisel Puro.

I've had some MC2s that have blown me away. As far as NCs go, I'd have to say a nicely aged Shark or Opus FF.

Sticking with Bob on this side of the fence it was an '05 Opus x Fuente Fuente gifted to me from Fred (macms)... it is the stick that made me believe in Opus and re-affirm my Fuente whore status...

In the top 5 was my first Casa Fuente I just smoked not too long ago... gifted to me by Dave (Opusfxd), and my first anejo 46... I still remember turning a lighter shade of white smoking it, but damn was it good!

Those are the 3 that stick out the most for the Non CCs...

i have had a few of those. the last stick i had that made me say "this is what it's supposed to be like" was a dunhill varadero i sparked up at trishields(dave) last month.

and how i wish they were all like that.......

Mine oddly enough is a stick that I loved to Mutha F all the time until I had that one. I smoked an Opus X Perfection X with roughly 3 years of age it. I honestly have to say that it was the end all be all of every smoke I have ever had in my life. So much so that I went from pretty much being an Opus hater to running out and getting a bunch just so I can lay them down to smoke a couple years from now although one of the Power Rangers may meet an untimely death just for experimental purposes. Before this every Opus I have ever had left me with a feeling like I was just robbed after smoking them.

The Opus gave me the Nic' buzz of a lifetime

Easy answer,,,Cohiba Esplendido and then Opus.

Toss up between my first Camacho Triple Maduro, probabaly cause I thought it was just a gimmick and gonna be crappy, yet amazingly good, and the Camacho Scorpion gifted by my BABOTL buddies. Man that's almost a perfect smoke.

[gettysburgfreak]

04 Cohiba Robusto

[KidRock]

Tatuaje Black or a Monte 2

Maybe it was just the setting but I would have to say a Cohiba Piramide 2006 when they first came out. Great cigar with great memories.

Man... that's a tough one. I've had a number that I thought were the best at the time, really a function of my level of experience more so than a refined sense of taste. But, I had an R&J Churchill from back in the 1980s, as I recall, that really, really knocked my socks off. A completely different stick than the ones I've had that were two or three or so years old. It was a wonderful stick and I was glad it was a Churchill.
