Illusione 88, Room 101 Namakubi Papi Chulo, and the Undercrown Corona Viva all smoked incredibly well so far this year. My biggest surprises so far this year are the Viaje Candy Cane (wasn't a big fan of the Holiday Blend last year so my expectations were low) and PDR's FyR, amazing smoke especially at the price its at.

The best one for me was the EloGio Habano Corona Extra gifted to me. After I smoked one, I immediately was inquiring about ordering several boxes.

Was reminded of a few others after reading the through the posts. Need to add the 2012 Tatuaje TAA as well; tasty, strong but tasty.

Another was the Little Boris, damn fine smoke(thanks JDog). Loved that big leather belt aroma they stuffed in there.

And then there's the Tatuaje Cojonu 'wet pack', only had one so far but it was an excellent one. On par or maybe better with the first one's I'd had years back. Gonna be hard to go through the remainder slowly.

Finally, the Ratzilla; definitely worth the $$ to me. Just Ligalicious.

CyB Lonsdale
Oliva Melanio Petite Corona
Frank Jr.
La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Reserva
EPC NWC Short Run 2012 Robusto
Flores y Rodriguez Maduro (Best Price Point Stick of the Year By Far)
