What was your favorite cigar in July?

[Cardinal]

I was just looking through my Photobucket and saw a couple good ones -

- La Aurora 107 lancero (my first 107 lancero, and I thought it was head and shoulders above the other vitolas in the line)
- San Cristobal from '07 original release (smoked a pair with my dad)
- Tat Verocu

[garublador]

Ashton VSG Robusto followed closely by the Casa Fuente Belicoso.

[Lynn]

LFD Double Ligero Firecracker

[sweaterman]

Lost and Found Stout Corona
Oliva V Torpedo
Murcielago Robusto (original release)

[TreySC]

In no particular order my favorites for the month would have to be the Brickhouse Maduro, Casa Cuba Flor Fina, and the CAO Maduro L'anniversaire with the dark yellow cello

[Hardheaded]

Given my extremely limited smoking time in July of only about 6 Cigars total, I have to go with the Nica Rustica. I never even got around to the special birthday smokes I originally picked up.

Viaje Skull & Bones Ten Ton Tess

Tatuaje Jackal

Gotta be the Paul Stulac Angel. I was really floored by this one. First Paul Stulac, now I want more.

Honorable mention: Kristoff Maduro. Also my first Kristoff, crazy smooth and delicious.

One of the most disappointing had to be Honey & Hand Grenades. What a dud.

No Laughing! Several years ago I picked up a PDR at the store while shopping. By the time I nubbed that thing I was hooked, still the best cigar I ever smoked.

[Old Smokey]

Mine would be an Opus Angels Share.

Fallen Angel Box Pressed Torpedo..... scrum didli umptious!

[Merovius]

Hard to recall but looking back through my bucket-

La Escepcion Exclusivo Italia EEM Nov '11
GoF Serie B GT 2011
Viaje Zombie Black
Padron 1926 80yrs Natural
OpusX No. 2 2012

Were all excellent smokes but I think the winner goes to

Montecristo EL 520 AME SEP '12

Which is interesting because when I smoked my first one a year ago, which I bought at a LCDH, I wasnt impressed. Muddy, flat and boring are words that I recall using. The first one had a much darker wrapper and the profile was completely different from this lighter wrapper. Some FoGs will tell you that wrapper does not affect the flavor of CCs, well I can attest that is utter bs. Moreover some vendors charge a premium for these darker wrappers, not always best imo.

The M80 then the 2015 Liberty

[Cameradude]

Kings Arapiraca. Never heard of Kings Cigars, but a new B&M opened up and they carry this line. Having never tried it, I bought just one. The following weekend I bought a handful more.

No laughing from me. I love PDR.

[Brazil Stogie]

I agree! I prefer my CCs with lighter wrappers!

[Herf N Turf]

I'm also in the lighter, slightly milder camp. If I'm outside, especially, the last thing I want to do is do battle with an instrument of fire, heat and power.

Whats a PDR?

I'm not laughing. Mine was a PDR 1878 Capa Oscura. I wanted to eat the damn thing...

[Yarddog]

I'll day Joya de Nicaragua Consul...that was absolutely my cigar of the month for July...for August, it's gonna be Man o' War Ruinations...(notice: no silly abbreviations...just sayin')

[DrBob]

I had a Liga Undercrown Gran Toro that had been resting 11 months in my humidor and it was superlative, maybe the best cigar in a few months, not just July.

Paul Stulac cigars were the first to equal in all respects the best of the My Fathers cigars for me from the time I first started smoking them.
Since you like the Angel,you're sure to like any of the others in the Stulac Classic Blend line, one of the biggest surprises is how consistent the varied sizes are.
You've got to try the White Blinding Light cigars...they definitely have the same WOW factor as the Stulac Classic's do.

Padron Londres Maduro. They've been in my herfador for about every round of golf i've played this summer. Tasty little things.

Yup sure is nice to be able to see a cigar mentioned without have to translate,puzzle out what that cigar could've been.
May, just may be why the makers chose certain names, words, numbers to identify them, even going so far as have the names on boxes,and even on the cigar bands.
Wonder if this sort of thing might someday catch on with makers of drinks,timepieces, perhaps even Automobiles, may sound far fetched, bu wjho knows.


Oh, by the way THANKS for the post Yarddog.
