Desert Island Cigar
 

Alright, as per my introduction, I'm new to this obsession, so in an effort to make a list of "Must try someday," I propose the following scenario:

You find yourself shipwrecked on a desert island. The good news is, a higher power has agreed to supply all the food and drink you may need, and, being a nice higher power, he/she allows you delivery of ONE cigar (as many as you need of course)...what would it be? Note this higher power also has purchasing limits, so if you choose a limited run as your favorite(Opus X, Oliva V, etc), you must also choose a backup when the yearly limit is reached.

What is your desert island stick? Also, note this is an NC smoke as the higher power lives in the U.S.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Partagas Lusitania or Punch Double Corona- can't decide. Surprise me, higher power! :ss

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

For me its an easy choice - Padron Belicoso.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

1997 Bolivar Coronas Gigantes

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Not sure I've ever had a '97, but, otherwise, that's my #3 choice. :banger

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Tough choice to make. For NC, I would probably either go with DPG blue or Tat brown.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

That would be tough, I'd go with Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970. Grande Robusto or Belicoso, either is crazy good.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Perdomo Patriarch for sure!

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Original Master Blends, either robusto or torpedo!

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Right now I'd say

NC: Tat Cojonu 2003
CC: Cohiba Sig III

ask me again in an hour and who knows...

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Party Short. The most consistent excellent smoke I've had. Too short to always satisfy, but hell, the Higher Power is gonna give me all the cabs I want, right? :ss

EDIT: oops, didn't notice the "NC only" part. Well, I'd just kill myself, so I need no more stogies :D

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

I'm still as noob as it can get but I would have to say Anejo #49 with a back up of Boli PC's

Those are the two smokes I have had that have left a great lasting impression. :tu

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Cremosa. And since I wouldn't be tempted to smoke them I could save them and build a raft out of them.

In light of your 'NC only' update, I'll adjust:

It's the old buddy in my BTT Mystery Review #2 thread. By no means the best NC stick I've ever had, but pretty much the only one I'm always in the mood for. Maybe that means that, for me, it is the best. I don't know.

Come on over and take a guess!

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

I'd have to go with:

Oliva V Torpedo

And since the OP requires a back-up:

Tatuaje Miami Torpedo

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Tatuaje Especiales or Camacho Corojo Diploma 11/18

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Tatuaje Reserva J21 or Illusione ~MK12~.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Pam 64

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

El Triunfador or original Padilla Obsidian

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

PAN 64 with an Anejo chaser.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Just saw the NC only clause... So I'll change mine to Anejo #49 with a Padron #5000 as backup.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Also missed NC only...

Tat Cojonu 2003

Oliva V Lancero as backup.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

PSD4 :dr

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

I've said it before and I'll say it again Cohiba Lancero!!! But since this is NC only... I'll go Ashton VSG!

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

JdN Antano 1970 Consul...mmmmmmmmmmmmm tasty.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

hm whats the best NC I've ever had? I'm guessing it was probably a Tat but I can't remember at the moment.

oh wait, I used to think the Bobalu '91 Dominicans were the best NC smokes ever. and this was during a time when I was smoking almost nothing but CCs, so it must have been pretty damn good for a Dominican cigar. As far as I know these are still available so I guess that would be my choice.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Padron 64 or Ashton VSG or Anejo (all in Robusto size).

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Tatuaje Havana Cazadores

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

:r :r

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Litto Gomez Chisel with LFD Especial Oscuro or Camacho select as backup.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Point of order, sir - is this greater power gonna supply me with a source of fire too? As any ancient Attic can tell you, the gods love to torture mere mortals - just ask Tantalus. If that's the case, I'll take Phillies Blunt banana - then there'd be no temptation.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

for NC, either cubao, 601 blue, or..... RP sungrown

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

:r:r

I actually thought of that a while after I wrote the scenario.

Yes, plenty of fire for all the standing rib roasts dropped from the sky ;)

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Tatuaje T110, and when those 200 boxes run out I guess it would be BBMF Maduro

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

VSG Torpedo for me

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

This statement deserves some Esencia attire! Please PM me your mailing address and t-shirt size :D

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

CAO MX2 Robusto

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

La Riqueza, Any Size.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

NC only!!!!




Marlboro lights 100's

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

I think I'd have to go with Illusione CG:4's.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Hmmmm.

I think if he wants to strand me on a desert island he needs to supply me with unending Cohiba Lanceros. I'd take 08s I suppose, but 98s would be a damn sight better. If he's a higher power he will understand that I have principals I need to stick to.

If he then decided to run 10k volts of lightning thru me to make me get right with the man I suppose I'd pick either the El Truinfador or the La Riqueza. But I'd be smoking a damn site less often.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

:tpd:

I finally had one of these last weekend and I would like to amend my former post. I'll probably get a second one for comparison in the next few days but I'm pretty sure I like the Riquezas better than the Tats.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

:tpd: Me too.

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

For me it would be a tie between the Illusione CG4 and the Tatuaje Havana IV Hermoso. If I had a never ending supply of either of those I would be happy till the day I died. :ss

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

If it is NC only guess I will stay off the island;s

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Oliva V Double Toro

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

La Aurora 100 Años

Re: Desert Island Cigar
 

Diamond Crown #4 or Cuban R&J Short Churchill.
