I finally did it.

I smoked my last Aristoff Black, from the original blends. It was a cameroon wrapped corona.

Even more delicious than I remembered, but I'm sure the additional years of aging helped.

I know these aren't available anymore, and I hated to smoke it, but couldn't resist any longer.

How long does it take you guys to finally smoke the very last cigar of a now-defunct brand?

don't know yet......as a newbie, I'm still trying to sock away some of what's left of my now defunct favorite brand......

I'm just sittin' here staring at my last "Bad Frog" right now ...

I have a Hemi Classic SG that I can't bring myself to smoke. Once it's gone all that will be left is a memory.

Don't worry Wolf, I'll send you a Big Butt.

Snif, snif, cough, hack, gag, gurgle, burp, fart, boo-hoo some more...

You hang in there too, Gater.

Cigars are expendable and labels may be fleeting, but the memories that they give you last a lifetime...

Oh, I can't continue... whimper, whimper, gulp.

..you got me rollin....oh, too much....

Still sitting on my last Costa Rican Bucanero Classico Maduro. I've had this one last CR stick for about 2 1/2 years. Now Buc has come oout with a new CR made Buc, the "Treasure of Costa Rica". Want to try it and see if it's close to the old blend. I still really enjoy all the Nic Bucs I've smoked, one of hte best made cigars out there IMHO.

Also sitting on some older isoms, Punch Punch from '98, that I'm trying my hardest to wait on,....but it's so hard....lol.

I've got about 4 dozen one or two of a kind cigars that are either defunct brands, hard to get, unusually good, what-have-you that I tell myself I'm saving for a "special occasion" ... Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, birthday, 4th of July, anniversary, all have passed multiple times without the "right" special occasion having arrived ...

This past Saturday as I neared the end of a special vacation in what is to me, the most special place on earth, I said what the *&^% and lit the last of my 2000 La Escepcions ...

Still, at the rate I'm burning them, I currently have more than a 100 year supply of "specials" and seem to add 3 or 4 for each one I finally decide to part with ...
