Multi-wrap plus two half-hitches?
Or tie the upper portion of a hangman's noose around the cylinder? ...Jim Thompson

Is anyone an expert on knots? Especially name(s) of those that have superior grabbing capability
*around* a smooth cylindrical surface?
I think it depends on what you need it for. Do you just need to hold on to the cylinder? Or are you going to be turning the cylinder, or be turned on to the cylinder?
I think the standard is you take the standing end and it goes first under and then over and then under the turns around the cylinder...

Hello,
what is the direction of force to the knot? Axial direction of the cylinder or tangential? For axial direction, a Prusik knot might work. But the friction coefficent between the used rope and the cylinders surface should be not too small.
The knot may be modified using more than two turns on each side around the cylinder.
Here you see the application on a cylinder with axial force direction:

Not such an expert, but it sounds like you want a bottle knot (so-called because it's fine for dangling longneck beer bottles in the cool water).
Complete Book of Knots, Geoffrey Budworth, calls it a jug sling.
Look up clove hitch.
You should find something applicable here.
Or here.

Here you are:
The gripping capability will depend on the surface of the cylinder, type of rope and direction of the pull relative to the cylinder's axis.

Someone referred to "old rope", which I presumed was for gripping reasons ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
I like the 2nd option; thanks.
Just hold. Thanks.
OOOh! Like the animated!! Thanks.
How about the US Army Rigging handbook?

That sounds like a large bra. :)

Prussik knots are the standard for gripping round a rope, whether they will work on a smooth surface dunno.
You might want to look at the Prusik knot.
You can hitch it around as many times as necessary. It will slide when loose and is tight when there is a pulling force. Good for climbing up or down.

Then you might try a clove hitch and a taut line hitch.

Ooooh. The icicle hitch looks like it is to the point.
