What was your best 'new' discovery of 2011?

Well, when I say new discovery it could actually be a rediscovered cigar like mine was. The Juan Lopez Selection No 2. An outstandingly consistent and stunning robusto that never failed to dazzle me - I smoked nearly a box of them last year (box date JUL '10). It was a cigar that I had not smoked for several years and certainly don't remember them being anywhere near as good as what they were out of this box. It's now my fave robusto.

So... What rocked your socks in 2011?

I found the Tatuaje brand and also the San Christobal lines ( not the Cuban version ).

The Barklay Rex 100th was the best cigar I have ever had, sadly they were a limited line made for the people at Barklay Rex in New York.

Edited for spelling mistake.

Paul Stulac Angel - A box pressed Nicaraguan robusto. Very consistent cigar created by a passionate young Canadian. Not cheap...but definitely worth it

Hi Mark,

Paul Stulac Cigars are completely hand rolled in Esteli Nicaragua using long filler Nicaraguan tobacco. They are available in Ecuadorian Habana wrapper and also Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper. 
The Ecuadorian wrapped cigars have a mild body and complex flavor and the Brazilian maduro wrapped version has a medium body with a hint of cocoa.

Now available in Australia

I love box pressed cigars, they seem to have a more pronounced depth of flavor.
