Re: What cigar recently surprised you?
I smoked a fresh Opus X Power Ranger last friday, then a Rocky Patel Decade saturday. I liked the Rocky better than the Opus.

Reserva Miraflor for me as well. I smoked a Lancero a couple weeks ago and was not impressed. Reached for a robusto and it was really great!

I bought a 5 pack of Viaje Oro Gran Fuerza without knowing much about them. Just love them, bought 3 more 5-packs since.

Re: What cigar recently surprised you?
Just smoked a Verocu Tubo and I am shocked at how much it has changed in a year. I don't think I have ever seen a cigars profile change so drastically in a year.

Berger and Argenti Entubar Robusto (linky)... Quite a surprise and a very tasty smoke!

Re: What cigar recently surprised you?
I had a Boli Gold Label that I really enjoyed. I was shocked as to how good it was. More that the flavor profile was totally different than I'd imagined, but in a good way for a change.

JdN Fuerte Corona Gorda. I smoked one back in May and thought it was OK. I smoked one the other day while fishing and it was great!

Re: What cigar recently surprised you?
Graycliff Château Grand Cru.
I purchased a box many years ago, smoked just one and never touched it again until this morning when I randomly pulled a Graycliff from my humidor. I quickly put the cigar back remembering how disappointed I was when I first tried it. For some reason, I picked the cigar up again, lit it, took a few puffs and then told my husband to try it, this time with a huge grin on my face. It wasn't like the first one I tried. The second one was a hundred thousand times better. I never thought it would make a great tasting cigar after just a few years in my humidor. I definitely would like another one later this evening. |

Punch (NC) Gran Puro. I didn't know what to expect from a Honduran puro, but this really impressed me. It had a deep core flavor of soil/earth that I loved. Draw was unfortunately tight though. I've got a couple singles in the mail to do more testing.

Had a Monte #4 the other day. I've never had a CC Monte that I loved--liked yes, loved no. But this #4 was fantastic! It was a gift, so no idea on age.
