Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?

Those Graycliff Double Espressos were SO good, but only for about a year, then they got real mild. I'd grab a bunch and sit them back for 6 months then start trying them every week to see if they were ready, then I'd smoke them all in a week's time. I made the mistake once of hanging onto some for a year or two, and they became worthless. No flavor or power at all. I thought it was odd then, but have found that happens with lots of nc's.
Thanks for reminding me of them, Ben. Man, I loved those cigars.
