cigar of the year 2011

[BSBONO]

well its that time of year again. What an amazing year of releases. We are so fortunate to be able to living in a golden era for cigars. The passion that todays cigar makers have is amazing and every year seems to get better. I suggest you pick one cigar from limited releases and one from regular production.

My choice for best limited and in my opinion the best overall cigar this year by a wide margin is Quesada Espana corona. I have had nothing but unforgettable experiences with this bold and flavorful cigar. No cigar in recent memory has reminded me as much as one of my all time favs the Tatuaje black original. Praying that Quesada releases more of these and in the US market. If you ever have opportunity to score some of these do so quickly and without hesitation.

for regular production I will go with a dead heat between Sam Lotano Oval and Tatuaje Fausto.

best cigar for me was a CoLa... although that isn't a new release

other honorable mentions are Stanford's 90th and Wolfman

[Tnt Cigarguy]

Have to go with the Wolfman.....and a close second being 85th Padron.

[usmcpurcell]

Yeah I'm digging the fausto!

[alfbacca]

This is a tough one. For regular production sticks I usually go for the Tatauje Black Petite Lancero or the Avion (if I have more time). For limited release, I can't get over the My Father El Hijo's; I've blown through about 2 boxes, looking to pick up another.

Ah the eternal debate....

Hands down the best LE I smoked this year was the Tatuaje Federal 90th. Didn't get a chance to try the Reserva, but the Rosado was freakin' delicious. There are several I haven't tried though so that may change in the next month or so, but I doubt it.

As for regular production...well, I'll have to say the Quesada Espana. Some would probably argue that it's a LE, but I don't see it that way. It's regular production, just for the over seas market and not so much here in the states.

That's my picks .

La Verite 2009 was my favorite. But there were a lot of good releases. The 6 x 60 SI Padron is close to top, as well as the my father El Hijo.

[FragmagnetEOD]

Tat TAA for me. Torano Master comes in a close second.

[Okcsmoker]

Regular production is hard because of all the new releases this year like the Tatuaje Black PL, Fausto, Avion, Padron Anne, and others. However I am stuck in a 3 way tie with EP Carrillo Maduro, Illusione Maduro and Tatuaje La Riqueza.

My EL choice has got to be Wolfman, TAA and EP Carrillo Dark Rituals.

[SecretSanta]

I like them all.

[jjon90]

San Lotano Habano for me

[smokinbodybuilder]

Santa, did you forget to log off and re log in? LOL

Regular release for me would be LFD Colorado or EPC maduro

LE would be LP UF4

[andysc83]

Tat TAA or the MK Ultra for me.
