best i ever had was a camacho liberty 2007 believe it or not. had it late in 2009, so it had 2 years on it.

Great question Knuck!

In no particular order and just a few that come to mind:

OR Opus DC- Not only was it an amazing cigar but where and who made it more special. My great pal Paul (CigarVP) broke these out at The Masters last year while we followed our good buddy around the course as he competed in the tourney. Amazing sticks for an awesome day.

1970 Punch Punch from the Harrod's Humidor. This was gifted to me and I chose to smoke it on my 38th birthday since I was born in 1970. Killer smoke and great experience.

Maduro Opus X PL - smoked this last week the day my daughter was born to celebrate. What a great, and I mean great cigar. Balanced, flavors that never ended and one of the best finishes on a cigar that I can eve recall.

VSG ER 849 special size- gave this cigar a 99, only because I thought if I gave it a 100 then I could never have anything better to look forward too. Amazing cigar that BLEW ME AWAY!!!! Smoked this the night before the superbowl in Tampa last year with Firewiz25 while there to see the big game. He also though it was his best cigar ever. EPIC SMOKE that made me want to cry when it ended. Really that good.

1986 Monte 2- can't say much about this besides "world class classic cigar". I'd give my left nut for a box of these. For real.

Old crusty Part Privada #1 - smoked this with Harris (the Master) at his house one day while visiting. Phenominal cigar with great company. A day I'll not soon forget.

Those are just some that come to mind and remind me why I love great cigars. They truly are so much better when enjoyed with great people who equally appreciate them.

WOW!!  Excellent post!!  Sounds like you've really enjoyed some excellent cigars as well as some excellent people and situations!  And congrats on the blessed birth of your baby girl!
:bigup:

Just recently I had an 86 La Escepcion Longos that blew my mind. 

Other standouts include a 92' Punch SS#2, a 97' ERDM Tainos and a 98' Bolivar Belicoso Fino. 

Dang!  I don't know which of those to drool at first! :cool:

Dang reading your posts are going to make me cry.


And woman say we aren't sensitive enough.  If they would only ask us about our cigars. Great posts

Tough question to answer, but I'll try (with apologies to the ones I forget)

1st RASS I ever had. Smoked it in a bar in NYC in '96. At that time I didn't know about box codes or aging. That thing could have been 10 years old and I wouldn't have known. It was unbelievable.

Partagas 898V - smoked it on New Years Day 2 years ago. Believe it was from the 60's, and it was ethereal.

Cohiba Pyramid EL - Original Release. Smoked it on the way back from the beach after an epic day of Striper fishing in the surf.

Partagas Lusi - Smoked in 1999 in Boston after a great lobster dinner. Cigar was prolly 5 years old then.

I think one of the best ones I had was a '04 Opus X I smoked this year for my birthday.  Other then that it was a Padron 45th.

Agreed 100%.  I don't remember any particular cigar, rather I remember the great times I had with great friends while smoking good, and sometimes bad cigars, to me that is what makes the best cigar I ever smoked. 

For instance I vividly remember the 1946 White Owl and the 1980 Monte that was gifted to me in a going away herf.  But I don't really recall any great quality of either cigar more I remember that I was sad that I was losing contact with a great number of friends and BOTL.

Hard to remember them all and I am sure I will forget something special.  I have been blessed in my life with some great cigars.

[b]Cohiba A[/b] I won at the Hartford Herf in the raffle.  I smoked it the next year on the drive up to HOAH and I was in heaven.  Best drive up I have ever taken!

[b]Maduro Opus #2[/b]  This was a gift from Carlito for my 50th birthday.  What made it even more special than the great cigar it was, getting a phone call from Carlito and talking with me while I smoked the #2.  Nice!

[b]'86 Monte #2[/b]  I had heard a lot about these and this one did not let me down.  After a great filet by my favorite Plano cook, this cigar was the best dessert you could have.

[b]Maduro Opus Lancero[/b] I just love this size cigar and the maduro lancero was to die for.  And to think I gifted another away.  How did he get it out of my hands.  LOL

[b]Partagas Salamone rolled by Hamlet[/b] The night before HAHA herf at JG3's.  LL kept asking if I wanted anything to eat and I could not talk.  I just wanted to be left alone with my cigar!

[b]OR BBMF[/b] A gift froim Scotty at HAHA and it was great.  At one point I had to sit down and collect myself.  Nothing beats an OR!

[b]OR Siglo VI[/b]  A gift at SHIT Herf that changed my mind.  I had said I never had a Siglo VI that I was impressed with.  Maybe mine had been fakes.  Not this one and did it ever change my mind about Siglo VI's!!  Of course the other good part was the company I had while smoking it.

[b]'98 Opus PL[/b]  I opened this box to celebrate 30 years with my comppany and having my retirement locked in.  They were so yellow and sticking together in my box!!  I sent them out across the country to have friends share my special day with me with a special cigar.

I have been blessed.
