Re: It's a Special Occasion
This past weekend I went up to Chicago for the 85th birthday of my Wife's Great Aunt.
There were over 100 people at the event, I knew maybe 30% of them. It seemed like it was going to be a special occasion; so I packed and smoked a Havana Soul Hirsch Y Garcia special edition blend. It was rolled by Pepin at an event for Cigar King in 2006. (as I recall I believe the wrapper used was different than the regular Havana Soul, the blend was not significantly changed). It was quite an enjoyable cigar; but what made the experience better was having guys slowly migrate to the fire pit to join me. I had brought along a mix of aged cigars in my 15 count Otter box; it was full at around 10 and by Midnight was empty. :ss |

I have some ESGs, Opus, and some CCs but will grab an Anejo 55 when I finally get my weight under 200lbs.

Re: It's a Special Occasion
A friend gave the wife and I a box of cuban Partagas for celebration of us both finishing our Master's degrees.
Sdly, I don't have any ideas for an upcoming celebration: bout to break an annual goal at work, given to me essentially to make me fail. I'm gonna finish a few months early, which means time to overachieve and stick it to the man :) |
Re: It's a Special Occasion
Well I'm right there with Slavac, but uh if the situation were different (ie in a career or married) I'd be grabbing the Forbidden X Toro I have stashed. But there's a strong likely hood it'll be burned when I graduate from CSUC next winter

On my one year wedding anniversary:
I plan to smoke the custom rolled CC that joshpip gave me as a gift for my wedding. |

I have a Monte Especiale that was gifted to me a many Herfs back. I'm saving it for that special day/moment/event. But I agree 100% with Dave just waking up is worth any stick in my Humi :tu That Monte is going to Burn Burn Burn :ss |
Re: It's a Special Occasion
Davidoff 3000's. I have a couple Mojitos and other less amazing stuff in my "special" humidor (not much, mind you... it's not overflowing by any stretch), but if it's truly a special occasion, I'm going for a Davi 3k. :tu
(I'd better only ever have 2 special occasions, though...) |

Re: It's a Special Occasion
I usually break out a Partagas Churchill Deluxe on the average "special occasion". I have a few other individual sticks reserved for individual occasions. If any of that makes any sense to anyone.
:D |
Re: It's a Special Occasion
I was gifted a Partagas 150...which, after a little research, turned out to be a 'special' stick. Pretty rough looking stick!
Can anyone give me some info on it? I tried to search the forum and the term '150' was too short to be included so I got a bunch of Partagas CC threads. Help! M |

Re: It's a Special Occasion
For my recent 40th Birthday I had a Porterhouse and an Upmann Mag 50. It was divine.

Everyday is a special occasion to me. Life's too short to smoke cigars that are just "ok". |
Re: It's a Special Occasion
When I buy my first house, I have a late '80's Davidoff 5000 waiting for me in the humi.

Re: It's a Special Occasion
I have a couple Punch Punch's from 1994 , the year I got married , that I'm saving for quarter and half century anniversaries . And I also have a RyJ Cazadores from the year I started working to smoke the day I retire . Monte A's also fit special occasion billing . :tu

Re: It's a Special Occasion
I had a 98 Punch corona from a brother here. I wanted to save it but was thinking customs wouldn't have liked it coming back from Iraq so I smoked it. I will have another someday because it was freakin' awesome.

Re: It's a Special Occasion
WOW! CC's seem to dominate the Special Occasion smokes. One of my all time favorites is the AVO 80th. It was the first cigar I smoked on a Special Occasion. I try and keep it that way as I have a box but don't know how long I will be able to keep getting them.
