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.

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 :D

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...

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

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.
