Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of rare valuable cigars some people are holding onto for a rainy day.

Mine would be a FFP and a Tat Black both given to me by Eric,

Watcha hiding in your humi?

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Tat pork tenderloin is my prize....

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Probably an Opus X Lost City or GOF Don Carlos 2005

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Trinidad fundadores. 97 IIRC.

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

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

For me I have 3 sticks that I am sitting on for a special occasion. They were all given to me by friends here.

Oliva O (Red cloth band, given to me by Nickyteen)
Ashton ESG (given to me by Mr.B)
God of Fire (given to me by Mr.B)

And with allergy season kicking my a$$ right now I won't be touching any of them soon.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Tat Barclay Rex (Gift from HollywoodQ)
2007 GOF Don Carlos
'05 Anejo 77
'08 Cohiba Siglo VI SLB

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Aside from the Franks, Tenderloins & the B-Rex's I have it probably has to be the few clear havanas I have been gifted!

Some of which are older than me! And that's pretty old if you ask some of the BOTL here! :lr

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Mine would be the Tat Barclay Rex's I have and some Oliva Cloth bands.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Most valued cigar? The one I just got done smoking. Because what's a cigar's value if you never enjoy it? :)

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

I have one FFP I'm saving from a period of much more adequate funds. I'll be smoking it soon as the wife and I get settled in good here on the mainland.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Cigars that are gifted to me from friends, no matter what they are.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Most valued? You might not believe it, but it is a Gurkha in a glass tube. Why? It is the onloy cigar my Dad ever bought for me.

Rarest? Probably a Rafael Gonzales Vitola C.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Behike 54, Opus X BBMF Maduro, Tat Frank, Viaje Zombies

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

I'd say my little stash of Cohiba 1966 LEs.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

A few Opus from 2005 when I started smoking along with some Toast Across America sticks. I also have a half box of some LE Monte Ds from 2005. Everything else is pretty run of the mill.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

H Upmann Churchill from @ '92. I think it is a Monarcas vitola and it was a tubo.

We smuggled (did I just say that), I mean snuck a box out of Bahrain, UAE. One of my best buddies was my navigator on KC-135's and we stuck it in the "Secrets" bag. Back than we still carried all the codes for the Nuclear SIOP mission and nobody, I mean nobody could get in that bag but us. King of SIAM, POTUS, I don't care who you are (especially customs :D) - you weren't getting in the secrets bag.

When we got back to the states my buddy was heading to pilot training. We went all the way to the Chief of Staff of the Air Force to get him a slot for pilot training. It took a lot of work but in the end we got him into pilot training and a year later at his graduation at the Officer's club he broke open the box. He didn't care who grabbed them but I watched many wasted by a bunch of drunk student pilots, their wives, and/or girlfriends.

He probably doesn't remembet but I saved two. Storage has been questionable over the last 20 years so I don't think they will smoke great, but that is not the point. He's a Colonel now and whenever he retires I'll be at the retirement ceremony and we'll find some time to burn them.

A lot more to the story and the friendship, but I hit the high points for brevity.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

A 1980s Davidoff CC that Poker bombed me with a while back.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

I like that Tom, some cigars transend themselves!

As for me, I do not have many cigars of monatary value yet but my wife bought me a Padron 40th Anni that has much centimental value. Only time she ever bought me a cigar related item. I have been fortunate enough to try several extremely valuable cigars however.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Bahia gold A the old Don douglas blend

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

HA same here. My fiancé bought me several Padron Annys and they are just very special to me. I have sold off or given away 98% of my NCs but those are the only ones I've held onto.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

An Opus X BBMF Maduro that was gifted to me from Bill86 last year and a box of Oliva Blue Cloth bands.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

For NCs, I'd say that is the collection of Operation Freedom tubos that various units from Iraq and Afghanistan have sent me over the years.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

A 1928 cigar rolled in Nazi Germany. It was a gift from a generous fella (who's name slips my mind) at the Peter comes to MD herf.

I also have Tat Barclay Rex's, OR Viaje Satori's and a few other HTF's.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

The era known as Nazi Germany did not occur until 1933 when Hitler made chancellor. The Nazi movement, per se, is recognized to have begun in 1929.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

opus x "A"

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

That'd be Dave (N3uka). :D

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

i'd like to see a picture of that 1928 cigar... it's gotta look crazy.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

sexy!!!!

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

It was a 1911 Betsy Ross but my father and I lit the 2 I had up a year or so ago. Neat smoking something from the WWI era :D

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

I have a HdM I Recieved in a trade here. I also have some Partagas's I brought from a trip to Central America this past year.


But what I'm really saving is about 5 Gran Habano Vintages I have left over from the two boxes I bought from when my son was born to give away. I'll be saving those to have with him in 15 or 16 years.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

I got three Oliva cloth Blue and three Red

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

BHK 52 and a '06 Opus Shark

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Most valued?

93 Boli Coronas Gigantes - birth year of my oldest son
94 Espendidos - birth year of my daughter
97 Boli Inmensas - birth year of my youngest son

I have cigars that are more expensive, but none I value more.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Opus X Lost City, Box of FFPs and a My Father Something or another that was supposedly limited...FFPs are the only thing I saw other people chase...

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

most prized: 08 montecristo sublimes (the year of my wedding), 2010 montecristo grand edmundos (birth of my son) and a 2000 Montecristo robusto from a jar (gonna smoke this when my daughter graduates from university)

most rare: that's a secret.... :)

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

They tend not to last long for me. If I get something special or particularly awesome I tend to smoke it within a few months. Never know what tomorrow's gonna bring so I find a day to smoke them.

As of right now for me since my humi is rather low(I like my mailbox, so don't get any funny ideas), it'd be between the Anejo 46 I'm saving for New Years, the Studio Tobac fresh rolled I got from our event today, and the ~4 I have left from the sticks I blended about 5 months ago. Reminds me I need to break one of those out to see how they've come along.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Box of Behike 56. Me and business partner will crack it open later this year when we open up another office.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Agree, very valid point...-(P

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

i agree. that's an awesome perspective.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

I must have the date wrong then. The box had a Nazi war eagle on it.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Mine would probably be a Pre Release Drew Estate JD4 or an Original Release "My Uzi Weights A Ton"

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Smoked one of these years ago. Interesting cigar, but musty and over the hill.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

NC: Couple boxes of Liga A's/Rats/Pigs and 10 or so Oliva Blue Bands (which are seemingly past their time). CC: A single Cohiba GR and a few Robaina farmies.

my wedding gift from my uncle

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

yeah, i wouldn't imagine it would taste very good.

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Tat Frank, Tat Boris, LP No. 9 pig from JD, Opus X lost city & forbidden X's, and some Monte "C" LE 2003 CC's

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva

Re: Your most valued/rare cigar is......?
 

I have a few:

OR El Triunfador "Ghost"
Opus X Lost City
Ashton ESG
GOF Carlito and Don Carlos

I don't get a chance to smoke too many ultra premiums,
but occasionally get one or two in samplers. Get on Eric's
email list at Jack Schwartz in Chicago. He gets me some
great deals on high end sticks. His lancero samplers are
terrific.

Chemyst :cool2:
