I've been smoking cigars for about 4 years now so I'm not a noob but I'm certainly no veteran either. Full Bodied smokes are my preference so I've been racking my brain about what I should smoke the day my son is born. I can't think of a better way to decide than to put it out there to my fellow BOTL!!! As of today I'm thinking one of the following:

Small Batch 4 (should be out by the time he's born in 2/2012)

Opus X obviously!

Padron...which one???

Help a brother out!

Any of those sound good. Maybe consider AF Anejo, Ashton VSG? All good celebratory smokes.

Monte #2. The first born deserves it.

Whew!!! Thought you were gonna ask for ideas on how to ......😕

If the Padron is a PAM - that's the one I would recommend!👍

Congrats!=d>

Monte #2 is too much of a crapshoot.

PAM 64 Torp is reliable as it gets.

Smoke a Gurkha, after that anything the kid does won't seem so bad.

Smoke a petite corona and get back to the hospotal room and take care or your wife and kid.

Smoke all of your churchills now. Saveyour short smokes. Be prepared to shower a lot if u want to hold ur baby and still smoke cigars. Get sleep now.

Forget the cigar when the baby is born. Pass some out to your friends. Your job is to be a good dad-husband.

I've never enjoyed life as much as I am right now with my 3 and 6 year olds. Best of luck to ya.

Our girl is 16 months old. When I come home from work, she hears me come in the door and she does a little squeal/giggle and comes running to give me hugs. Best part of my day, every day! Makes the tantrums later in the evening somewhat more tolerable.

For the first couple months you'll want nothing bigger than a robusto. Our started sleeping 6-7 hours at a time when she was about 8 weeks, so it was no problem to smoke a bigger vitola after we put her down at night. You just have to prioritize: cigars or sleep? LOL

I like the My Father suggestion. If you want to go more elitist a Padron Anni or good ISOM if you have any. Maybe if you have a God of Fire, smoke that before the kid is old enough to raid your humi and smoke it for you.

This is all great feedback. Thanks to all of you and keep them coming. The overall advice outside what to smoke is great. God knows I need it. I'm actually smoking a churchill now...while I can, Sencillo Black. Great stick!

I smoked a Diamond Crown Maximus late on the night my son was born, while he and my wife slept at the hospital. A good stick among many other good choices.

I was thinking about the 85th since they're new. How do they compare to 44,45,46? Maduro or Natural?
