[itsaaron]

Top cigars I've tried this year for the first time have to be the Tatuaje Black CG, Las Calaveras, Jericho Hill, L'atelier Lat46 Selection Speciale and Davidoff Royal Salamones 9 (no order)

While I have a short list of great cigars I am just blow away by Crowned Head cigars....just ask my credit card that seems to be buying them by the boxes. This month alone has seen me buy 3 boxes of Las Calaveras...1 box of Jericho Hill...2 boxes of Headley Grange and one box of Four Kicks...soon to come is a box of JD Reserve. My cigar budget is blown for the rest of the year.

 

[Catawbamatt]

Mark me down for another Tat black Corona Gorda...just love the size of these guys. Also, for the price point the Tat Tattoo is incredibly hard to beat.

Angels Anvil
UF13
Cuantro Cinco

 

[Triple-T]

Two that really surprised me from Villiger, Trill Toro and another called Kreme. Great thread btw

Las Calaveras

Ezra Zion Reagan (became honor series) not new this year but new to me.

Viaje Zombie Supersport I discovered I liked this during colder nights.

Tatuaje 10th anniversary I believe that came out this year. I love this blend I think it is more refined than the standard brown label.

For me it is Las Calaveras...fanboy aside, CH puts out quality sticks.
Also Franklin cigars!!

 

[ChefBoyRG54]

Las calaveras and tat be reserva have been so good I bought boxes.

Time to add angels anvil so different than the LC, but equally awesome

Padron 1926 80th. Pricey, but one heckuva smoke.

14 HDM Epicure Especiale. Creamy and just delicious flavors.

 

[3/5King]

Any one of Tesa's cigars are at the top for me.

La Palina Mr. Sam was an awesome smoke.

I haven't had enough of the new stuff this year to say anything about "best of the year: new releases"
