I may not be able to say what the best cigar I've ever had is, but I know what my best cigar moment was... In Madrid on my honeymoon... sitting out our private balcony (with hot tub)... over looking the festivities at some sort of festival (Noche Blanco... not sure what it was all about but there was live music and whatnot)... my new wife and I were sitting there, relaxing and I lit up a PSD#4... it was one of my favorite nights of the trip and of my life... so there you go... that was the best Smoke i've ever had
Ramon Allones Allones Superiores, a limited ISOM release this year. It is the first cigar that I could really taste what people write about. It was a journey in 3 phases.
I have a few Padron 64, Opus perfection x, for the money AB tempus, diesel, I've had may good cigars and need to try more but the 64 blew me away and the opus was perfection.
So far my best smoke was a Camacho PE on New Year's Day of this year at my friend's wedding reception. The smoke was good, but it was a combination of the event and timing that made it stand out.
This will undoubtedly change several times within the next year at least, but for me, currently, the best cigar smoking experience I have had was my first Opus X, on the patio at our rental home this past summer on Cape Cod. The weather was PERFECT. 70 degrees, sunny, slight breeze, no humidity. Good bottle of wine. Great company. Fantastic cigar. First time I had ever gotten several flavors which have since become favorites of mine (dried fruit/raisins, clove, honey, etc.) that I look for in any and every cigar, in hopes of finding them in something more readily available, and smaller than the Reserva D' Chateau...
The absolute hands down best cigar I ever smoked was a real Cuban Romeo y Julieta Natural Wrapper Churchill size bought in Switzerland by a friend who owned Black Boar Custom Ques. It was the first "real" cigar I had ever smoked and I smoked it until my fingers burned. I have only had one cigar that came close since then and I can't afford them.
Its a toss up between any cigar I have at my family's lake House and probably an Anejo 50 I had while on vacation in Mexico with the family. Everything was perfect. The Company, The Setting, The drink and the smoke! I would have smoked another if I had had one.
1). a REO at the gentleman's club. It really let me know how good a cigar can taste.
2). My first ISOM, a Monticristo #2. If you had to provide one cigar to define the Cuban cigarexperiencec that stick would be it.
3). The first Ava Maria Conquista I had. Neve could imagine describing smoke as chewy but this stick had that essence. All of the other AVA Marias I havorderedrd have not been as good.
Perdomo Edicion de Silvio maduro torpedo. Lost a bet to a friend. We watched the UofM/State game at the shop. I was feeling confident (read drunk) an decide to put the most expensive stick on the line--he won and went with the Silvio. One bet I most certainly DO NOT regret. I has become my celebration stick. I plan on grabbing a box (or what's left) in October to commemorate my wedding.
