Best new cigar: Warped Futuro - may need to smoke more to verify this opinion, but so far it's the one that stands out to me among new releases
Cigar I should have already known about but almost didn't: AF Anejo - I knew about it, but didn't "know it" until I smoked one
Most purchased: NC Punch and Hoyo, followed closely by JLP (a guy's gotta have a good reliable go-to cheapie, or several...)
Old friend, back again: AB Maxx - didn't smoke a lot, but really surprised that my stash has aged so well
Cigar of the year: a Johnny O custom - possibly the best cigar I've ever smoked, easily on par with the BHK that I smoked this year. Bought a bundle after trying that first one, but they need rest. I'm not a deeply religious person, but I'm practically praying that the rest of my bundle ages as well as that first one did...
