Very difficult question, as tastes change. But if I had to put a list together of recent regular production cigars, I would say: 1) H. Upmann No. 2 (the '01's are fantastic and this cigar is much more consistent over Monte No. 2's) 2) RASS (the 2004's I just finished were very good) 3) Sir...

First and last time I cook with the skin on. It turned out good, but it could have used the additional flavor that comes with more bark. Fantastic. I'm of the opinion that ECA box code Upmann's are some of the best cigars that were rolled in Cuba in 2002. I haven't had a bad one.

Happy belated birthday, Elliot. I hope you had a great day. :thumbs:

Classic! :laugh:
