Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
My most valued cigar is any one that is gifted to me by a good friend. I usually smoke them right there or within a few days. I always feel like every day is a gift and reason to celebrate a good cigar. I dont save cigars for a special occasion because everyday is a special occasion. Just my .02 :)

Cigars I have that are irreplaceable to me, there are several...
My last remaining machine-made Partagas Culebras is pretty special.
I have an original release Fundadore that Dave K gave me one day long time ago.
I have a Slenderella that Seth gave me.
I have a few Montecristo Double Coronas from the first numbered year of the EL program.
Until a few weeks ago I had the last cigar out of the first online box I ever ordered, a 2001 Partagas Lusitania...Chingas got that smoke, lol.

My collection is nothing but meaningful cigars I'd hate to let go. And one at at time, they all get away, haha.

That thing looks like a cat turd that fell out of the litter box. Hope it tastes better than that when smoked :r

None of my cigars are rare or valued enough to escape me putting fire to them :)

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
No real "Rare" ones, but I do have a Triple Maddy that I've had sitting around for over a year. Everytime I want to light it something comes up and it just sits in the humi.

WittyUserName 06-18-2012 11:12 AM

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
I have a few Opus X that I have been sitting on for a while. I think the oldest is about 8 years now, none younger than 5. I am just to chicken **** to light it up.

Bill86 06-18-2012 11:18 AM

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
I don't keep singles or rare cigars for more than a few months, after that it's time to fire them up. If only to see if I want to get some while the getting is good.

Mine are probably mostly sentimental value:

First release rolled by Perdomo for Drew Estate - La Vieja Habana (99?)
Drew Estate first release Chateau Real
Drew Estate first release Liga Privada #9
{these were all given to me from Jonathan when I worked for Drew Estate}

La Flor Dominicana Mysterioso
2 Padron Anniversario 1964 (2006) A size - given to me when my son was born

I have a couple cigars that Bruce sent me, Cuesta Rey's from Operation Enduring Freedom. They mean the world to me, I'll have them forever.
There's a bazillion rare, blah, blah cigars down there in the basement, none of which I'd miss. I do have lots of gifted cigars in my winador by my desk, those I look after very closely and enjoy having them as much as I do smoking them.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
I've got a Monte Cristo 2001 tubo and a Romeo Y Julieta Museum Edition gifted me from Huy! Can't wait to light this one up, just waiting for a special occasion that's special enough.
Makes me wonder, what would that be? I mean what occasion would qualify smoking something so special?

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
I have a few King of Spain Lanceros and Padrinos from VR farm that are both rare and hard to come by. All in all, my collection is nothing on the rare or valuable side.

A couple of cabs of Punch Super Selection, older Punch Coronas, maybe a cool thing here and there, but nothing like many of people on this forum.

Some of you guys laugh at that Glass-top box, I know people who would pay decent bucks for that box,
me being one of em. I have always wanted a Cohibo GTB but THAT ONE, man I have never SEEN that
one in particular. What a great looking style. I know it is sloppy, but the detail in the box is fantastic
with the picture-frame lid...WAY cool.

Rarest? Probably a Rafael Gonzales Vitola C.

Casa Fuente Double Corona for the same reason. It was the first cigar he bought me, just a week after he found out I smoked cigars. Mind you he's 100% anti so it means a lot to me

I have nothing rare.

My wife gave me an Opus X that I held on to, but she seemed to be offended that I wouldn't smoke it. I didn't want to smoke it because it was from her...

Tom gave me a '99 Partagas Lusitanias when I was just getting into smoking and it still sits in the humidor. I also have some '98 Bolivar PCs from Beagleone as well. Those hold some value to me.

I have Pigs, Rats, LP#9's, T52's and various Viajes, etc., but the sticks that I tend to husband are my Triunfadors and Eperneys.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
Honestly, I have some HTF cigars that I've bought that have little real value to me, what they're worth $10-18? whatever...The truly valuable are the gifts I've received from friends that mean the most to me. I will NEVER smoke a cigar that I bought with the same feeling and appreciation as a gifted cigar, as sappy as it sounds I cannot put a value on these cigars.

Just got a variety 9-pack of Davidoffs...pricey, but worth it!

TJtorpedo 06-22-2012 07:47 PM

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
At the moment, mine is probably the Viaje Roman Candle I just picked up at my local. Don't know if I'm ever going to find time to smoke it though!

weak_link 06-22-2012 10:59 PM

Either my 50's Kind Edward or a 2007 Opus Chilli Pepper. Or something.

Too long of a smoke for you?:confused:

Malakai 06-30-2012 03:21 AM

Until a couple days ago when I smoked my last one it was a 2001 Edicion Limitada Cohiba Piramide

PA_Rob 07-03-2012 04:13 PM

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
From a monetary perspective, I'd have to say its the Opus 22 collection that I've been staring at in my humi for a couple of years now.

Not really a single stick, though. That would probably have to be the remaining 4 Don Arturo Gran AnniverXarios I'm keeping for a special day with my herfin buddies. It used to be 5 but I was weak and smoked one a year ago - what a fine stick it was...-(P

pennjones 07-04-2012 02:55 PM

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
I'd have to say my most valued cigar is my BBMF Maduro that I will one day smoke when I have my first child. I also have a couple Barclay rex's, T110's(first release), Opus X TAA's, Skull and Bones ?s, and some Viaje Holiday Blends from 2010 that I save for special occasions though. I have to say though, that my most special cigars are the ones I smoke when my dad and brother come to visit though.

hammondc 07-04-2012 04:34 PM

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
nothing really. I suppose a Davidoff from the very early 90s that a dear friend gave me when I moved from SC to TX. When I finally move back close to home, we'll spark them together.

big a 07-04-2012 06:40 PM

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
Probably a padron or tat black from the jar. But I have some cigars I got on my honeymoon that are very special to me.

DaBear 07-04-2012 06:52 PM

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 
As of now, it'd probably be the Padron 80th or Viaje DES I picked up today. The Padron will not make it home tonight though. :D

But the last skull n bones mystery, and the current purchase of some daisy cutters rates up there. Along with my last 05 PLPC.

Didn't Fundy's come out in 98?


Upmann # 2 from 92 for me.
