Best cigar(s) you've ever smoked?

It could be because of the taste or flavor profile. Or perhaps it's because of the people you smoked it with. Or maybe it has to do with why you were smoking it in the first place, like to comemorate a special event or as a tribute to a fallen brother. Whatever the reason; [b]What is the best cigar(s) you've ever smoked?[/b]
For me it's the following in no particular order;
[b]1)1996 Monte Especiale[/b] - Just a phenominal flavor profile. Only had 2 and both were stellar. The first of these I smoked by myself during a quiet time very early in the morning on the day I was wed. Very special indeed.
[b]2)1980's Dunhill Cabinetta[/b] - A "holy grail" cigar for me for sure. Very expensive at least for my budget and probably not worth the price of admission, but still very special , again at least to me. The first 1/3 was actually a little on the boring side with mild flavors. But the 2/3 & 3/3 more then made up for this. Very complex, balanced, and very, very unique. I'll never forget it
[b]3)1998 Punch Super Select #2[/b] - I smoked this cigar in 2006. And while I had smoked a number of these prior, in '06 these really seemed to come into their own and smoking one catapulted them onto my "faves" list. I've not been without a nice supply in my humi ever since.
So, how 'bout you???
