Cigar of the month

[CgarDan]

First off can’t believe that July is over. Crazy how fast the summer goes by. And also weirdly enough not that many cigars that really stood out in July either. I think I will have to step up my game in August

This was an enjoyable one for July

A. Fuente Reserva Don Carlos - for July.

Mine was the Carrillo Pledge Prequel, one of the few that’s lived up to the high CA rating. Immediately grabbed a box, if the 2nd one I smoke is that good, I’ll buy a couple more.

This rp edge w >10 yrs in the box was phenomenal.

I def need to reload. Only 3 left from that stash.

‘01 Esplendidos - my all time favorite cigar, my once or twice a year celebration or special occasion smoke. Perfection.

Puro Desnudo N2 Piramide for August. I can't wait to see what some time does for these.

Haven't been paying enough attention but will go with the Surrogates Closing Time from @Eqwhipped smoked at the Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival Airbnb. The stick was very good and the experience/comaraderie was excellent!

Thanks Joe, I try to save my best sticks just for you!

I’d have to say this one, Unnamed Reserve 2021

 

[dawgie]

October winner is a 2007 Untold Story Maduro

 

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

La Gloria Cubana Esteli.

 

[lucasbuck]

2016 Le Hoyo San Juan - my first and instant favorite. So many complex ever changing flavors I lost count. An absolute dream smoke and not yet 10 years old. Big stick like this would usually take me 2 hours to smoke. Sucked this one down in just over an hour.

I think I'll have to go with the Stolen Throne Argos. I suppose that technically speaking that aged FFOX DC was a better cigar, but I knew going in that it should be great. The Argos I'd never had before and didn't know what I'd find, and it really impressed me. It's always fun to find a new "keeper." Thanks for putting it in the pass, @CBoukal!

Now I just have to figure out when these are going to be released next so I can put some in the stash!

September's winner was Illusione Maduro Lancero from August PowerBall contest. Great cigar! Thanks, Mike! @cohibasurfer

I was going to post a review of it, but all I am going to say is this master blender has another hit on his hands. Highly recommend to try it especially for any Pepin fan
