The fifth, and best cigar I've smoked in years is a vendors private line that has not hit the streets yet.
When it doe become available, and if the production is as good as the samples, this cigar will become an instant hit.
I am sworn to secrecy, but It is a true giant killer. I can't wait to get my hands on some. :cool:
 
I have no idea earlier in the year, but lately these are what I've been enjoying the most...

J Fuego Gran Reserva
Sudeste Cubano
LG Lusitano 08

These aren't all new but the ones that so far have blown me away, in no particular order;

- Illusione "Holy Lance" Blew me away; very surprising in a great way.
- Don Pepin "My Father" 1922 Churchill. Big, bold, and spicy. Flawless construction and burn. Awesome...
- AVO Domaine 50. What a wonderful, mild, underrated smoke. Every time I smoke one, I wonder why I don't smoke them more often.
- Padron 80th natural. Expensive, sure. Awesome.....you know it.
- Tatuaje Especiales. Their fad smokes come and go, but the brown labels, the ones that earned them their name, are still the best, IMHO. I have a box of Expeciales that are smoking wonderfully.....always a treat.

As they say, one man's opinion......B.B.S.

....edited to add; I have a box of Anejo 48's that is about five years old. Those are something else, IMHO.....
