HarleyDave also sent me 4 out of my top 5 cigars as part of the Newbie Trade he set up. But my very top dog is a Cohiba Sig VI that my daughter paid WAY TOO much for at a Habano S.A. shop in Mexico.

The balance of the top 10 cigars in my humidor just came to me from the Masters contest courtesy of deadeyedick.

scottbushey,

Just finishing my first one of those now. Excellent smoke. Mine was a gift, but from what I hear, these are very reasonably priced too.

It makes no sense for me to keep cigars that I can't smoke. I smoke many fine cigars. I have many more excellent ones! Don't get me wrong, I mean no disrespect to others who choose to keep and covet their best and brightest, but hell, you could go tomorrow on your way to work! And that beauty never got smoked (by you)... Live life, smoke the good stuff, savor it, post about it. Right now I'm having a FFOX. Not sure how old, but it's damn good!

I have a will setup for who gets my cigars...

As long as Ethan doesn't go and piss me off he will be sitting pretty good 😉

Oh poo, I forgot to put my one and only Padron Millenium, that ties for second with the Cohiba Torp. ISOM EL 2001.

The Cohiba is gonna get torched in a few days when my sis has her baby.

most coveted?

maybe the Opus X DVd set or

the Toast Across America set

or the Siglo VI 3 pack that was hand rolled by master roller Reynaldo Gonzalez Jimenez or

the pair of Hemi SG or

the pair of AF Gran Aniversario Don Arturo Destino al Siglo 13

and I agree with robby I will smoke them all.

This would definitely have to be my $250 Gurkha Torpedo Tubo. Given to me by a friend, a few weeks before it was featured in Maxim. He tried to take it back 🙂 It's been aging in my humi for over a year. It's pluming, and I just can't bring myself to smoke it...ever.

I have an 18 year old Fuente that was described by the good fellow that gifted it to me as the precursor to the Don Carlos. I am going to smoke it at just the "right time" and give it a very serious review in tribute to that good fellow.

It has chnaged many times over the last year, as I actively go out and buy what I covet. The common theme I have not been able to find is a trusted source for some ISOM monte LE dbl or regular robustos.

Until last night it was an ISOM Montecristo #2 that I had aged six years. My debate team just won some amazing awards this season so that one was converted to ash. It was wonderful!

I guess now it would be my Partagas 150 robosto or one of the two remaining Chateau Fuentes left over from my wedding 8 years ago.

Threadjack on:

Rob,

Glad one of my dogrockets was the savior in MBHHville.

Threadjack off:

A Torano Tubo worth 250? Dipped in Louis XVIII poo, or what?

I have a couple that would rate as my most prized.

Siglo VI that was hand rolled by master roller Reynaldo Gonzalez Jimenez (Thanks Bassdue).

1997 Original release original blend Ashton VSG Beli

Original band (no second serial # band) PAM Torp. I think these should be about 4 years old.

Have quite a few that are up there, a pair of 858 rosados, a pair of 858 sungrowns, a pair of sharks, an original band PAM monarca or superior, and a big glass tubed opus x dc sized gar that came in some prometheus thing. If I had to pick one it would probably be the 858 rosados.

Have some aged Isoms from back in 99, some coming from 98, but nothing that compares to the above. If I had a 10 year old cohiba esplendido or something a cuban might make the list but anything within the past 5 years is pretty easy to get ahold of.

This one is easy. I have a ISOM Cohiba still in it's box that was liberated from the humidor of Tarik Aziz in Baghdad.

My buddy gifted it to me last 4th of July. My plan is to have a picture of me taken when I smoke it and frame that along with the individual box, band and Aziz's card from the deck.

Second would be a nice Dbl Corona/Churchill sized Opus X that Carlito himself gave me last year in Vegas when I ran into him coming out of the Davidoff shop.

Letting it rest comfortably until this years Vegas Big Smoke.

Tarik's Cohiba? damn!! smoking that thing would be great. Even if it was a bad frog, knowing that you are smoking one of that dudes cigars would be great. What a good gift from your friend
