Best Smoke of 2017

[Simon Bolivar]

For me a few standouts

Best ncs would be the oliva master blends and the diamond crown julius caesars. Had plenty of other good ones but those two stand out in the past 12 months.

For cubans ive really enjoyed my box of upmann half coronas and my first dip 2 was very good.

But unless you keep a journal its very difficult. So many cigars they blur in the memory, and i have a brain like a sieve as well.

Absolutely, Keep a cigar diary, you can't underestimate how much information you will glean from it, & this multiplies over the years. The reason I haven't listed my fav's this year is that I want to consult my diary. I have listed every cigar I have smoked since 2004 & (a few important ones back to 2000). I have reached the stage where I can barely remember individual cigars before Nov.).

I also have a attached sheet & consequently I can check on how many I have smoked of each vitola, the score I gave each cigar, the age of each cigar & where it came from (swapped, bought, auction ect) how much I smoked. I have another spreadsheet, listing all my current stock, price paid & in which humi they are stored in.

Apologies for my late reply but had to catch up on my diary to get the info needed to answer this thread. Thought some might be interested to see my smokes above the magic 90point mark, indeed the BBF is a great smoke & the 2006 cabs are lush right now.

Does the second column from the right denote how many of each cigar you have Simon?

[Simon Bolivar]

LOL! no, I haven't smoke that many! It is the order that I smoked them in, which has been now in a different order as I sorted by the rating. Might have been clearer if I deleted that column I guess.

Cheers Sham, I had some other interesting smokes & a few more '60's & 70's smokes but most of those were in the 85-90 bracket.

Damn! I was hoping to borrow a few Cohiba Lanceros off you!
