I've smoked a few really amazing cigars, but it is hard to pick them out unless I know who I was smoking with. For example, one of the very best was a Dunhill ERDM Seleccion Suprema No. 97, but it was memorable because of who all was in Mr Nee's garage at the time. I shared a 1492 with two schmucks at some shack in Ohio when the 1492 that they had could not draw even after the drill was taken to it. That was pretty memorable.

As for a dream cigar, give me a Backwoods and 10 good friends who will share it with me and it will be a dream, I guarantee it.

If I had to pick one, though, it would be the 1960s Upmann Coronas gifted to me by an amazing brother 5-6 years ago. A 1970s Partagas Coronas held the spot until that cigar mysteriously found its way into my humidor after the first Smoked Salmon Herf. Strangely enough, almost all my recent 70s Partagas Coronas came from that same brother...
