I had one of those this year after the Packers won the Super Bowl, great cigar.

I have one cigar that I'm hanging onto, a CC Davi 5000. I have a good reason to smoke it once I get back from Afghanistan, so when the wife and I take my son to Disney, I'm gonna bring it and have it there.

I Have Special Cigars For Remembering My Parents, My Anniversary, & Birthday. Special Events Require Remembering With Special Cigars!:tu Great Thread, Rev.!:)

Re: Do you hang onto...
 

I typically save the more rare / expensive ones for special events - however, there is no time like the present!!

Re: Do you hang onto...
 

I used to save them for special occasions until my health problems last fall when I was convinced that I would not leave the hospital alive. When I got home I decided that you can't take it with you so I have smoked several of the special cigars since any day that I am on top of the grass is a cause for celebration.:D

This...as life can take a turn rather quickly, but mind you I'll take the time to fully enjoy it.

Re: Do you hang onto...
 

In the past I have bought special cigars specifically for special occasions. For instance, I bought some super old cigars once for a camping trip in the Spring, then the guys I planned to smoke them with didn't come, so I smoked them with sofaman at the next camping deal in the Fall. That was a few years ago.
I am fortunate to be blessed with an awful mess of really nice cigars that would fit in the "special occasion cigar" range. I'm not saving any of them. When someone comes by who appreciates a good cigar, or I go where someone appreciates a good cigar, I take a bunch along. Any of my cigars are your cigars, I've got nothing that I won't share at any moment. That makes it real fun, cause I make someone else pick when they come over. Their excitement adds another level, ya know?

Re: Do you hang onto...
 

I don't really save any of them intentionally. There's one that's been with me for a while, though.

Back in the early/mid nineties, a good friend of mine had parents who used to go to Spain a few times a year. On each trip, they would always pick up a box of Esplendidos in the duty free shop for him (they had $$$ ;)). We'd get together for cocktails and a cigar a couple of times a month back then, and I ended up with one sitting in my desktop humidor. For a period from the late nineties until '06 I didn't smoke many cigars, and that humidor became something of a time capsule. Now, that lone Esplendido is all that remains of my stash from the boom times.

It's been sitting there for somewhere between fifteen and twenty years now. At this point I look at it as more of a good luck talisman than as a cigar. :lr
