We're most of the way through the year, so I thought it would be in interesting exercise to look back and see what your best smokes of 2015 have been so far.
As the year progresses, you can edit your response if other better cigars come along, but so far what have been your best non-Cuban cigars in 2015? Doesn't have to be a current year release, just looking for your top three smoked this year.
For it has been:
1. Warped La Hacienda Superiors - this one took me by surprise; I was expecting good, and it blew me away! Without a doubt the best NC I smoked this year so far.
2. Las Calaveras 2015 - which was also a stellar smoke, and had topped the list until La Hacienda came along
3. Bashert Flying Pig - I stopped chasing Ligas a while ago, but this was an unexpected gift from an old friend last year, smoked on my 10th anniversary. It could have just been the moment, or I could have just bought the hype, but it was one of the best sticks smoked this year.
Runners up are:
4. El Gueguense - frankly with some rest, this will likely become my #2 of the year behind the La Hacienda. The one I had had just arrived that afternoon, and I smoked it during a herf so it was a bit rushed.
5. Warped La Colmena / Caldwell Long Live the King - I can't decide between these two for the second runner up. Both were excellent.
So, what are your top 3 so far this year?
