I've had this one a couple times in the past and really enjoyed them

I paired the last one with a citrusy coffee, Peet's Big Bang, and it was a stellar combo.

My cigar of the month was an early 70’s Monty #1… Tasted nothing for the first inch, which made me nervous … but then, BAM!! What a cigar… pure bread and butter…

Haha!! I’ve had these about 20 years, can’t imagine what they would be going for now…

August is off to a solid start with the new one from BWS, the Poison Dart ... great smoke!

$36 is a lot…though for an Anniversary/Limited Edition stick from Davidoff, it’s on the cheaper side.

If you’ve smoked the Nicaragua Toro as well as the Box Press (which has a different wrapper that is more robust) it’s seems to fit right smack dab in the middle of those two cigars.

It was incredibly smooth with lovely layers of flavor. The barrel aged tobacco added a depth to it the usual blend does not have.

I really enjoyed it. If they dropped the Anniversary tag and added it to the Nicaragua series for a little less money it would be a welcome addition to the line.

Well, August is almost done. For new arrivals and over-all flavors, the BWS Poison Dart gets my nod. However, for consistency and just being a dependable smoke I'm giving it to Henry Clay's War Hawk.

 

[BurnBerry]

August. I guess it'd be lame to say it's a tie but.... It's a tie for me. I could smoke either of these and not have any remorse that I didn't pick the other.

Edit: H99 edged out the Alma Fuerte

100% agree. This stick really is worthy of that title will definitely pick it up again

 

[wrussell46]

August is coming to an end…let’s see, let’s see.

I have a tie as well. For a new release as well as an overall fantastic cigar, the Smoking Jacket LE II.
The HDM Epi De Luxe shocked me. It immediately entered into the Top 3 of my CC list. Superb cigar!

What’s nice also is both of these are readily available.

My favorite stick for August and for the year so far was the Partagas Culebras @CigarStone shared with @Eqwhipped and I a couple weeks ago in Ohio. Great smoke with awesome brothers!
