This. I might answer this question different every month.

However, as to OP, I'd never suggest that my number one cigar was one which I'd never tried. More often than not, I'm 'disappointed' by a cigar that I've built up in my mind. Guess that is good -- while there are always cigars out there that I think I'd like to try, I don't salivate or get overly excited about anything new to me.

My ultimate fav is the 1926 Padron, second was the Partagas black label.

That's my problem, too.

The two that really stick out for me today are the Padron Family Reserve 45th in maduro, and the Don Pepin My Father Le Bijou 1922 in box press. Big, complex, wonderful sticks that always play nicely and are a real treat.

...tune in next month for the next installment of "..What's the best ever?..."....

Tie for me...Viaje Holiday Blend (2009) and the 601 Blue Maduro.

Everytime I think I have a #1, I smoke something I like better. Impossible to say. For the price point, tho, the 601 Blue stands up to anything, I would never let my humidor be without one.

Bill86 · 11-22-2011, 03:12 PM

Cohiba Lancero. These always deliver. The lowest I've scored a CoLa is probably 91-92.

bigswol2 · 11-22-2011, 03:13 PM

Opus #2 for me

Dunkel · 11-22-2011, 03:44 PM

Anejo or San Cristobal for me.

pektel · 11-22-2011, 04:21 PM

I don't have an absolute favorite. But the top 2 are the 2004 hoyo de Monterrey double corona, and 2004 cohiba sig vi. 05 plpc follows very closely behind. As does the skull and bones "?" release.

The 2010 "?" release? I didn't think this years held a candle to last years ROTT. Might have more potential if it sits for a while IMO.

Bax · 11-22-2011, 04:29 PM

The best I've had was a '90's Cohiba Lancero. It was simply amazing.

I did not like them rott. But after a year of rest they are a whole different cigar. I'm thinking the entire s&b line will be similar, as far as my tastes are concerned. And I have no problems resting them for a year.

Taki · 11-22-2011, 05:52 PM

Not really sure but I would have to put the LP#9 up in the top two right now for me

MurphysLaw · 11-22-2011, 05:56 PM

Cohiba Lancero for me as well
