Only 3 from the last couple years come to mind:

My first LP T-52 --- That afternoon I said that it would be OK if I never smoke another cigar because nothing would ever come close....but, I chose to keep looking anyway :smile:

LFD Chiselito DL Maduro -- I liked LFD's OK before, but this one is in its own league -- Wow

J Fuego Origen Originals -- I'd heard some praise, but was (and am still) in awe of its awesomeness -- I don't think there is a better 'price per degree of awesome' cigar anywhere

The cigar that got me into smoking cigars seriously was my first WOW:
Fonseca Delicious. It was perfect for my newb palete, and I couldn't get the stick out of my head.
Others:
RASS
Monte Petite Edmundo
The first T-52 toro I ever tried.
My first high-dollar purchase- Ashton VSG Torpedo...good lord that was intoxicating back then.

The first "WOWZERS HOLY CANOLIES" cigar I ever had was a Tat noellas reserva. At that time, i knew i liked tats, but really didnt know anything about reservas. When i tried to order some noellas on the internet, I recieved an email back from Tex Cigars saying that they are sorry but are out of stock and to call them ASAP. When I called, the guy said "unfortunately we are out of noellas, but I do have some Noellas Reserva here that I'll sell to you for the same price....?". Me being all new to this I said: "Uh yeah, those are still tatuaje smokes right? Yeah! Thanks! I'll definately take those".

Smoked the first one.... wowzers holy canolies... and here i am today.

Sorry for embellishing. :grinFU:

The CAO Brazilia Corcovado really caught me by surprise. i liked the brazilia before, but the corcovado 4.25 x 60 size really kinda makes the flavors jump out at you. Incredibly smooth.

The Tat 7th Reserva, was a surprisingly good stick to me. I don't usually like smaller vitolas but this is probably one I'll pick up more often than not, price depending.

Tamboril white labels circa 2001. These have aged into something wonderful. Still mild-medium but with great complexity. Sadly nowhere to be found now. Down to my last couple of sticks.

Every time I smoke a Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles....I think its my dream cigar. Bought a box and a five pack today. This was the cigar that caused it all....

for some reason when I have an x000 series Padron, I always ask myself why I don't have these more often....
