What was YOUR Cigar of the Year for 2025?

[mjolnir01]

The Tatuaje Monster Series Mummy Redux 5 blew me away. Sadly, I missed out on the boxes, but did manage to get some singles.

And all of the Tatuaje Corojo offerings this year really hit well... the T110 Corojo, the Avion 13 Corojo. All good. My note on 2025 is that it's the year I finally really started enjoying Tatuajes.

Mine was my 20 year old opus lancero. Most amazing opus I have ever smoked.

....one..? ONE....?? Ugh....so many wonderful smokes. Well....If I had to pick one and only one....it'd probably be the Tatuaje Pork Tenderloin. Flavors and complexity off the map. Strong, then not so strong, then strong....wonderful progression. Construction is always damn near perfect. Just a lovely smoke. Got a bundle chilling in the cabinet for this summer....and brother, I'm looking forward to every one of them.

Maybe not the 'best', but a very honorable mention to the Fabrica5 Queen Corona. So very cuban-esque and a nice point in the smoke rotation. Seems off the radar for many folks, but dang it's a good one. Decent prices, too.....

The comments about smoking with friends really hits. You know it, when you get to smoke with a buddy or three.....that's the best smoke of the year.

Hmmm. I think the best cigar I had this past year, was the 20 yr old Padron 3000 that I smoked with my son, before he left for boot camp. Thanks Rob @rbbrock for that one!

Still have the ones you sent Tom @BlindedByScience and plan to enjoy those with him as well, this year!
