That time of the year to list my favorite stuff.
Here are the best cigars I smoked this year:
Habanos 1994 (gifted from Matt) - smoked at SoCal IV - this one was close to perfection - simply an amazing cigar that put a big wide grin on my face from start to nub!
Cohiba Reserva Seleccion Robusto & Esplendido - smoked 4 of them and all were wonderful, true flavor/taste of early Cohibas.
Cuaba Salomones (gifted from mcgoospot) - knockout flavor/taste profiles for a big cigar.
My fave '03 everyday cigar is a Monte #4 - one heck of a cigar for the money and I've smoked at least 4 boxes of them so far this year.
Best Cuban 'Special Edition'
Easy - Cohiba Reserva Seleccion Humidor - each cigar had a different flavor/taste profile and would love to have a couple boxes of these 'stashed' away for a few years!

Ok I listed mine, how about yours.

Yeah Brian,

Merry X-mas.

1. No doubt about it... Cubatabacco 25th Anniversary.. waayy back in January.
2. Davidoff Dom Perignon a couple of weeks ago.
3. Several 1991 Cohiba Esplendidos
4. Davidoff 5000 out at SoCal
5. All the Cohiba SR Medias Coronas I had this year

As far as everyday smokes.... since I don't smoke everyday, I'd have to say the most commonly reached for cigar of the year was a Cohiba Siglo I.

[hogg]

I have such a short memory but the cigars fighting for the number one spot are either the trini 02 or the farm rolled robaina (blew my mind- Thanks SS!)

otherwise I really liked the LFD double ligeros and the Cuesta Rey sungrown pyramid, oh and the cabinet Boli PC's from Mo : )

 

[poker]

Everything I smoked at the Land of Lincoln Herf & at the SoCal herf was great!

Other than that, a few Davidoffs & Dunhills were great

 

[MoTheMan]

Hey MADURO_MAS_DURO

I like your taste in cigars.
Gotta meet again at the next upcoming SoCal herf.
BTW, Happy B-Day again.

Hogg, that Boli PC cabinet sure was a good batch wasn't it! We lucked out. Almost forgot about that one!

 

[drill]

I have no idea were to start.
i have smoked alot of incredible cigars this last year

k

 

[Brandon]

For me, it was a Jose L Piedra... hands down :w

 

[okie2]

Most memorable.

03 Boli CJ.. good flavor and beat me like a drum!

00 Punch Punch Cab..lots of flavor and body and took me for a wild ride on the Havana Express!

00 VR Famoso..a real classic cigar in terms of flavor and medium body, not overpowering.. just a delightful relaxing smoke.

 

[Lamar]

A couple come to mind...loved the D3's and the Cohiba Reserva Robusto. The Cuaba Salamon was nice to me as was my stand by the 01 Cab Short.
