Best Cigars of '08

My list. Keep in mind I'm a bit of a newb:

Tat Noella ( The one that got me into cigars)
Monte 2 ( My first CC)
CoRo ('08) Just a great smoke.
Oliva V Maduro
VR Unico (unsure of year)

I have to agree with Souldog the best smokes are the ones with good friends and family. It's the experience that makes it so much better.
 
No particular order:

Padron Familia - only had one and it was phenomenal
Co Mad 5 Genios - 07s are smoking wonderfully
Illusione/Cruzado
Oliva V Maduro (need about 6 mo - 1 yr)
Tatuaje Frank - wasn't a huge fan of the black (tie)
Tat Guapos (tie)


Edit: Was disappointed with the Monte EDC109.
Edit: Pepin My Father has promise, but didn't floor me.
 
As I was reading this forum there were cigars I forgot how good they we're. Top 5 is a tough question, so here goes my Top 5 of 2008:

1.)Cohiba Siglo VI (08)
2.)Bolivar Belicoso Finos (07)
3.)Padron 40th (N)
4.)Fuente Forbidden X Lancero
5.)Tatuaje Havana Cazadore

edit:Spelling.
 
For me this year:

Don Carlose Edicion de Anniversario (smoked at the "after hours" of the Outlaw Padron event)
PSD4 (smoked on my birthday with Fatman1267)
Tatuaje Reserva J21 (in a quiet moment of reflection)
Anejo Shark X2 (The first after my daughter was born, and the other with 42 and Josh in memory of Infinity)

and (I'm going to cheat here)

Padron Reserva Familia No 44 (I haven't smoked it yet, but it's on tap before the year ends....I got a feeling it will top the list)
 
Trinidad Robusto Extra!
Tat lancero
Cohiba Robusto
PLPC
AF Anjeo 48

I find it extremely difficult to find a favorite. Todays cigars are absolutely the best quality and variety I've ever experienced.
A tribute to the blenders, and the smokers, who always demand the best.
 
Perhaps I'm spoiled or perhaps I'm missing a huge segment of the cigar world.
