Some stinky old cigar Klugs gave me some time ago (thanks Dave).

I think he said it was a Dum-Hill-Kab-A-Net-Uhh or something.

I'm pretty sure that means it was a Gurhka .... damned good Gurhka I'll tell you.

My top 2 would be the CC RyJ Churchill that must have been 10 years old my dad's friend gave me for my birthday, and the 1995-ish era Cohiba Lancero. I bought it in Belize, In 1995 buti have no clue what year it was made.

Best cigar ever, not taking into account any other factor, was a Partagas Dunhill 777 smoked with Allan in KC. Sad part is I will never smoke another one again, but I will never forget the one I had.

LG Cubano

1970 Cohiba Lancero
1994 Habanos
70s Upmann Dunhill # (cant remember the number, it was a lonsdale)
1991 Cohiba Robusto
1997 PCC Churchill

The list could go on and on...but the best cigar, without a doubt was a Dunhill Tubo that was gifted to me by Bruce at Shack last year early Sat morning.....damn it was good!

At the top of my list is the Padron 1926 No.9.

[RevSmoke]

Smoked two on the same night, a Monte #2 (1983) & Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure #2 (1990) with my uncle after graduating from the Seminary.

Although, it may have been as much the festivities and company as much as the cigars.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

A 1992 H. Upmann Preciosas (MM 32 x 100(3.9))

I believe this cigar was an extra on a trade I did with SeanGar some years back, since then I was able to find 2 boxes, now I guard these little buggers like there F@@@ Gold. Only 1 Full box left and I am afraid to smoke them as I know I will never find them again.

Not a ton of experience with CC's yet. But my top 3 would have to be a Tat Cohete, Tat black CG, and the first PSD4 I smoked.

Think my best so far was the Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Maduro Toro.

Close 2nd, or maybe tied, is the Padron Family Reserve No. 45 Maduro Toro.

I'll put the Olde World ahead cause it's like 1/3 the cost. Both Box press and very similar on flavor (to my newbie tastes anyway).

I think for me anyway the people and the time of the cigar has alot to do with it. Not in any real order.
1998 Punch Corna- Was a gift when I was in Iraq. Didn't think I could get it back through customs cuz I wanted to save it. I smoked it about a week before we left. I sat on the steps of chu and on a nice evening loved that cigar. ( I didn't want to smoke cuz 98 is my sons birth year.)
Padron 2 or 3000 Maddie- It was the first cigar I smoked with JK5. He is an awesome BOTL.
195? Reddot- Thanks again Ben for the chance to be part of that PPP.

See what I mean all the greats have had a great timing with them. Was it the cigars themselves or the timing? I like to think a bit of both.

[CigarNut]

Reading all of these posts reminds me how few cigars I have really experienced -- and I have been smoking for around 11 years...

I look forward to trying many new cigars

Not really sure I can answer this... not because I smoke so much balla sh!t, but because I have smoked so many great cigars with good friends I can't just pick one...

[rtparso]

H. Upmann No 4 It was at least 10 years old.

[RHNewfie]

For NC it is tough to nail down as there have been so many awesome ones. The most memorable was a lowly Sancho Panze Extra Fuerte, it was the first one to make me buy a box.

For CC it was an 01 Punch Black Prince for now...

Sort of a loaded question , Having smoked some bad cigars with the company with me making it a great cigar. and vice versa , smoking a great cigar alone making it just a good cigar...

For me, the best cigar I ever smoked was my first Ashton VSG. I have no idea what the size was, but I do remember the rich creamy smoke that coated my palate, a strength that literally pinned me to my chair, and flavors of chocolate and sweet tobacco that made me fall in love with cigars. It is also the cigar by which I unscientifically rate all others: how rich and creamy is the smoke? how strong is it? and what does it taste like? I enjoyed that first one so much that I am now hesitant to smoke any more VSGs for fear that they will fall flat compared that first one.
