Best cigar in 2010?

[whisky77]

Smoked the Cohiba Sublime LE 2004 last night (cheers to Stevieboy). This was the first time I have tried one of these and I found it to be an outstanding smoke from start to finish.

From the offset there were hints of Vanilla, roasted nuts and dried fruit. The smoke was silky smooth and the smell of this cigar while burning is fantastic.

I paired the Sublime up with a couple of glasses of Johnnie Walker Blue, which complimented the cigar perfectly without overpowering the taste of the cigar and is "Smoother than a hot-buttered, freshly-shaven diplomat in velvet trousers".

I reckon this must be the best cigar I have smoked in 2010 so far and I only wish I had a box lying around in my humidor.

I realise we have a couple of months left in 2010, but I would be interested in seeing what your favourite cigar of 2010 has been thus far.

Absolutely excellent pairing . The Blue is a brilliant example of what a blended's all about, taken with a medium cigar, but now you've tried it I suggest you send all remaining bottles to me immediately!

Do you have a wheeze on getting Blue cheap? Always wanted a bottle but when I go to spend that sort of money on a blended scotch I end up getting distracted by a single malt. Different beasts I know but if it was to be had cheap I could be convinced.

Hi Big T, not trying to hi-jack this thread but I used to be a "dyed in the wool" single malt fanatic! It was JW Blue that convinced me there are some marvellous blends to be had, don't let the price stop you from being convinced, just put another shelf up on the bar .

Oh god, I'd love to smoke a Cohiba Sublime. Monte Sublimes are one of my favourite cigars.

thought I scored a box last year!! sister came back from Cuba with a box of 2006 the only limited release that year were pyramides !

I'll tell you in 2011. LOL.

To get back on thread, not having had access to a great selection this year, IMHO so far I'd say the RYJ LE Robusto has been my favourite, good strong cocoa & choccy all the way

Great news!! I've got a big fat Behike 56 waiting for me to celebrate the birthday in a couple of weeks. You've got me more excited now.

Monte Sublimes are one of my favourite cigars.

Totally aggree...i think the grand edmundo might be interesting given a couple of years! And I say that as someone who isn't the biggest edmundo fan (certinly don't dislike them though).

For new cigars in 2010 so far, I would say

1. La Gloria Cubana Deliciosos
2. Behike 54
3. Ramon Allones Belicoso for Germany (I have heard good things about the Gladiator from Peru)

The best cigars I smoked this year was Dunhill Atados, 99 Juan Lopez No. 1, and a fabulous 03 mag 46.

I still keep going back to my Boli RCs...

Although the LGC Deli I smoked was one of my favorite cigars of the year, it isnt really a '10 cigar. I did really enjoy the Monte GE, but my favorite new HSA cigar is the R&J WC. once I got past the girth issue, I found the cigar to be utterly delicious, complex and fun.
The Cohiba BHK should be in this category as well, but its still in such limited production, it doesnt seem fair to bring up in the same conversation.
