Whats you 100 point cigar? - Page 6

pektel · 10-01-2010, 09:26 AM

Whatever I happen to be smoking at the time.

I refuse to give any cigar 100 points ... to fuel the ongoing quest.

99.9 - Cubatobacco 1492
99.9 - Habanos 1994

Correction - gave 100 points to the smoking experience of a HDM Excaliber I smoked in the parking lot after Janes emergency C section birth of our first daughter Kait. No smoking experience will ever replace that memory.

I guess my opinion is more the smoking experience/cigar/environment than just the cigar itself. They are consumed by smokers who have all this muddled stuff between our ears. We also smoke them in "an environment". The combination of cigar, between the ears issues and environment all combine to define the smoking experience.

So if you are smoking the worst cigar you've ever had, it is a 100 point cigar because you're smoking it at the time?

In full strength I would have to go with My Father Le Bijou, in a milder smoke Ashton Heritage Pur Sol (amazing with the morning coffee).

The worst cigar gets tossed. I don't smoke "bad" cigars. They get tossed during the tasting stage. The actual "smoking" is only for cigars I enjoy.

I haven't found it yet.

I do enjoy Partagas CC line very much. So much I can taste it now

Not to belabor the point, but what is the difference between the "tasting stage" and "smoking"?

Just a little process of mine. I'm probably the only one that does it. The first few minutes are a "trial period" where I REALLY concentrate on the smoke, trying to place flavor profile, judging draw, smoke density, etc. If I don't like it, it gets tossed. No harm, no foul. The rest of the cigar is the "smoking" stage, where I relax more, settle in, and enjoy the experience.

Again, ymmv. Just a stupid thing I made up. I'm still a noob to cigars, so I definitely don't have a refined process. Or refined palette, for that matter.

I really like the Presidente and PSD4. Also have a box of PdP No. 1 and Lusi's. All top notch choices. I find the PdP No. 2 to have quite a Jeckyll and Hyde performance any time I light one up.

No such animal - unless you meant the PSP2.

Thanks for the insight Peter, and I agree life is too short to smoke a cigar you're not enjoying.

pektel · 10-02-2010, 12:45 PM

Very good point. Maybe I should adjust my approach. I guess there have only been a few that I have tossed completely, but that's because I came here shortly after starting smoking cigars, and got excellent info to begin with!

DoctaJ · 10-04-2010, 11:41 AM

I don't think I have found that perfect cigar yet...but some of the highest rankings in my experience are:

Padron 80th Anny Maduro
Camacho Pre-Embargo
Ashton VSG
