Within the last year, the resurrection of Nat Sherman as Ferio Tego by Michael Herklots has produced some stellar cigars. Apart from special releases, the Metropolitan Habano is an outstanding cigar at a very comfortable price point.

Then there's Noel Rojas and Edgar Hoill. The OSOK/Rojas El Tejano Lancero is pretty mind blowing if you like San Andreas wrapper.

And I fondly remember the 898 from that era, but have not seen one in ages.

Just so you know, Flores y Garcia filed on Mombacho based on a 15-year-old release, so they are rebranding to Favili. The blends shouldn't change. But they're dropping the Diplomatico line.

Am late to the parade , but my first Killer Bee was an eyeopener. As an aside to the Partagas comments , some years ago we got some sealed boxes from the mid-80's including one 898 box. Smoked them , my friend asked if it was flavored, and I told him just with tobacco. That and a David off from that buy are my Goat cigars.

The Bellas Artes Maduro Robusto I smoked the other day was good enough to make my top three. I'd say that the Year of the Rat from a few weeks ago was definitely up there too. Tough call...

I'd have to say that the My Father #4 has been the best, most consistent cigar I've been smoking recently. I was surprised how quickly I went through the box I had to buy another.
