The Best 3 Cigars You've Ever Smoked.

A Opus X Robusto with about 4 years of age on it. Had that with some friends in San Clemente, CA overlooking the ocean sitting around a fire. Not bad company and great cigar!

DPG JJ with a friends at a cigar lounge

Illusione 68 while watching the Lakers in the finals last year at one of my favorite bars.

I usually smoke alone and I notice that I don't enjoy my cigars as much as when I'm talking with a good friend while smoking. Such an amazing thing.

One if the nice things about getting older is the time frame you can remember things shortens up. Best 3 might only span a month or so back now for me.

As folks have mentioned "best" can be a varied thing. PUre cigar flavors vs smoking experience.

I had a great conversation with an old friend while we smoked Gurkha regent toro's back in 2002 that really stands out today as one of my favorite smoking experiences. The cigar component of it is minor.. I remember us giggling about the pure white perfect ash that hung on forever.

Best cigars for cigars sake?

1492 - because it is so unique in bouquet and rich in flavor
1994 - pure tobacco goodness
Cohiba 30th - Just hits all the things I look for in a cigar

I'm with you, Dave. It is hard to remember all the great cigars I have smoked, but a couple stand out.

Last summer I had a Padron 26 Maddy out on the deck while playing cards with the grandkids. This cigar had been in my humi since 06 and tasted great.

Last year in March on my birthday I smoked a 99 parti Lusi with a friend(out on my deck) Great moment! Great cigar!

A year ago, last October I had a Boli BBF on the patio of our hotel in Puerto Vallarta-great cigar-great view-great memory.

I'm jealous of Dave, a freaking 1492! I just read my MRN book from the Fox and now I know what the 1492 is.

Sounds deliciously delightful.

I'd say my best # 3 sticks are

#1 Siglo II-this baby got me hooked the dark side

#2 Partagas 898V -man this stick was so good it left me wanting more

#3 Onyx Reserve Belicoso - first stick I ever tried and liked
