I had SO many cigars in '08 that I really enjoyed it's hard to name just one. Just to name a few though . . .

El Centurion robusto
'06 Opus X Perfection X
Monte #2 (aged but I can't remember what year)

2008 was a fun year for me and cigars. Last January, after smoking a couple of cigars at a work function, I was surfing around on the internet and came across Club Stogie. A couple of humidors, a few hundred cigars and another cigar board later, I can say that I've had a fun year. The two cigars that stand out the most to me this year were:

2007 Bolivar Petit Corona - This was a gift from a generous brother on this board, and this was the first cuban cigar that blew me away. I just remember sitting outside on my back patio saying WOW!

Tatuaje Black - I enjoyed this cigar with a group of friends around a camp fire one evening last summer. The setting and company were perfect, and this cigar was the perfect accompaniment to that setting. This cigar lived up to the hype that I had for it and blew me away.

Smoked more cigars in 2008 then probably all the years prior combined. Not really into the CC's yet, still working through all the NC's available. My list (in no particular order) of top cigars smoked in 2008:

Padron 1964 Principe Maduro
Don Diego Aniversario #2
Pepin Delicias
Trinidad Library
Pepin Magnates
Trinidad Robusto Maduro
Olivia Serie G Maduro Belicoso
La Gloria Cubana Serie R #5 Maduro
Olivia Serie V Chruchill Extra
Alec Bradley Tempus Centuria
Ashton VSG Corona Gorda

2008 was a great year for smoking, not so great on everything else!
