Top Smokes of 2018

[K444HEP]

Curious to know what everyone has enjoyed smoking this year? Five have stood out to me for various reasons:

5: RyJ Petit Churchill: prefer this ever so slightly over the Short, the flavour seems more intense in this little smoke.
4: Julius Caesar Robusto: excellent flavours, perfect construction, amazing aroma.
3: HU Anejados: very 'realistic' flavours here for me as opposed to the usual impressionistic flavours. I got lots of cream and freshly-ground coffee.
2: Davidoff The Late Hour Robusto: so nearly No.1, a truly excellent cigar, lots of depth and flavour, very refined.
1: Trinidad Topes: truly decadent, velvety-smooth draw, everything that a good Cuban should be.

Funny how tastes are different, I really like the Davi Late Hour Rb, but the Topes beats it still by over a mile

It does for me too!

EDIT: just realised my order may be confusing! The Topes is my No.1, RyJ No.5

PLPC AME JUN 13
H Upmann Connie A LUB NOV 13
San Cristobal Mercaderes EMA OCT 07
Montecristo Edmundo MUL MAY 14 (amazing huh, let's hope that the rest of the box will be as good)
La Gloria Cubana MdO No.4 ETP SEP 15

Of note, BHK 52 from 2013 but I don't consider BHKs regular production.
