Best cigars of the year so far

[UpInSmoke]

So we're 2/3 of the way through 2014 already. Where the hell does the time go. Other places have a thread like this so I thought we needed one

What have been some of your best smokes of the year? Don't have to be new releases, just what you've liked most that you've smoked in 2014!

My top NC's: Cabaiguan Redux, Opus Petit lancero from 2011

CC's: Monte 4 from December 2012

Top for me is easy. La Escepcion Selectos Finos. 97.

Probably won't be topped, although the Hoyo Epi 2 I had last night was a 93 cigar easy.

 

[ChefBoyRG54]

Las calaveras and tat be reserva have been so good I bought boxes.

 

[erjaq]

For me, the top cigars released this year were the Las Calaveras and the Tat Black CG.

As far as cigars I've smoked this year, it would have to be a 2009 H Upmann No 2, a 2008 Monte No 2, and a 2011 PSP2.

Interesting, I'm gonna search one out. Smoked my last Tantrum last night and loved it, as usual.

Exactly.

Tat Black Corona Gorda for NC and H Upmann Half Coronas for CC.

 

[irie]

lump me in with the tat black crew, alas I very rarely have the pleasure of trying CC's let alone new ones. Can't say that's a bad thing either though

 

[Ducttapegonewild]

With my limited experience, throw me into the tat black group, but add the Nica Rustica. I love both of those!!!

 

[icehog3]

Most memorable ones so far include:

Bolivar Distinguidos (China RE)
'13 Partagas Presidentes

 

[BenvolioMustDie]

Tat Black CG and the Ezra Zion Tantrum for me

 

[jsnake]

Black Tat seems popular but I never found any. Kind of given up on Tats since I can never find them. I do have a knack for finding Viaje though.

For me it is the Viaje Leaded which in my opinion is the best cigar I have ever smoked. I highly recommend this cigar to anyone that can find them. It really made an impression on me and I am always looking for more and hope they are released again.

La Palina Laguito Especial Lancero is my favorite new release so far.
The Anvil was very nice, although a bit large.
