Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

I know in each of your humidor you have that 1 or more cigars that you'll never touch or are saving for just the right occasion...

Show us some pics and tell us some stories.

I'll even go first.

Some of you may remember this. Others may have no idea.

This little box of cigars is what keeps me functioning after working for 72 hours straight with no sleep in a lab at school. Or having to leave my fiance at 10pm at night to go to a study group. Or waking up that extra hour early before a test. It's the box that has nearly turned my entire college career around.

This box was given to me by my good friend Shawn (SilverFox). It was custom made by Scott (Shilala) for the 3 cigars it contains. The first (bottom) is to be smoked when I graduate college. The 2nd is to be smoked when I'm married (this July). The third (top) is to be smoked when we have our first child (Not happening for a while :r ... knock on wood).

Sadly the 2nd will likely be the 1st to be smoked, and sadistically the one I'm looking foreword to smoking most is the Cohiba, even though it'll require a kid in exchange for it's fiery death. :r The God of Fire will have to wait until Spring 2010. A year from this coming spring.

Hell of a gift from one HELL OF A GUY to another GREAT GUY...good luck #2

That is a sweet set of cigars...

Here is one of mine, it's a 1930's era White Owl I won in a contest... I have no idea when I will smoke it... It's the one on the left... the middle one is from the 40's and the right from the 50's...

Old photo, but still a nice present from a good overseas distributor. Still have the 'A' and Esplendido waiting on a special day.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Wow, mine really isn't as great as all the previous cigars, but it's special to me. It's a Padron 64 'A' that my fiance bought for me last year for my birthday. It's still sitting on top of my humidor. I'll probably smoke it this Christmas unless another cigar catches my eye. :ss

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Very cool. I've never seen a pic of one of those.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Currently, I would consider these my most prized
http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showpo...4&postcount=39
I think that these have had the most meaning for me

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

These are 5 I would consider, The Sunkist clear "Havana clear" in the foil is from 1910-1917, the second one was a very nice gift, both from lenguamor. The Forbidden X was also a gift, The Casa Fuente is from when I got married in Las Vegas, and the BTL I found a few weeks ago and is something that I have been wanting for years now. I just love collecting rare cigars. I also was lucky enough to find a box of Davidoffs at a B&M from the 2004 RTDA retailer dinner.

mmm, my prized sticks would be 3x 1958 pre embargo partagas churchill tubos. I'll post pics later :)

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Yeah, I never knew Padron made an 'A' size until she gave it to me. At the time I honestly thought she was giving me a fake cigar :r

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

nice! :tu

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Hmmm..... Right now I don't have any rare cigars, but I do have an Illusione culebra that is pretty cool. I also have some Tat Blacks. :)

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

still waiting for my b&m to get me the other two bundles he promised. this has become one of my all time favorite cigars.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

dayum...They are good cigars, they will be even better with some age :tu

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

I love all my cigars equally. Asking me to pick favorites is like asking a father to pick his favorite child. It's just not going to happen. :ss

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Very cool gift and I really like the custom box. Like how each one has a goal set to it.
alfbacca, don't sell yourself short. That's a pretty great group of smokes you got there. I am just amazed at Barbourjays collection of Blacks. Holy cr@p, stopping at that B&M would need to be part of my daily routine if they treated me that well.
Great pics and great groups of smokes fellas, keep em coming.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Mine would be an 06 Opux X Perfection #2 to smoke when my book gets published and an 03 Monte #2 when I get a career.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

The Forbidden X is a great cigar. And the band, I love the colorway.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

these are some of my fav's

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Pretty nice. Wish someone would have pushed me down the slope a few years ago. :rolleyes: If only I had started smoking cigars back then...:bh

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

and these are pretty special to me as well

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Very very nice.... you sand baggin son of a.... :D:r

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...

I just pulled those pics of the web..... :D

anytime the weather cooperates, you guys are welcome. my garages are kinda messy not alot of space.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

I have a National Club Mild Habana reported from 1926 still in its foil. Got it in a buy from a good BOTL. It is my returning from Iraq smoke which will be eliminated here in the next 10 days or so!! Sorry no pics, I have 2 more which will be smoked in the future for some unknown event but if you can find one please post.

Dunhill Don Candido 501's from 1963. I was gifted them and they smell sooooooooooo nice! I've got 4 that I'm saving for my wedding, 1 apiece for me and the missus and 2 very good friends.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Just say when lol... I'm down. Plus I wanna see that awesome humi you have so I can drool over it in person! :ss

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...

Those were the other box he gave me...a true friend regardless of the cigars.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Very, very nice. A friend of Mo's is a freind of everyone! :D

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

your turn mr. caputo

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

FCk you to! :D

Mine all have little white bands with my scribbles on them denoting who gave them to me. The other ones vary from ok to great cigars but don't fall into the "prized" category.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

typical old man answer :D

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Right now mine will probably have to be the two Tatuaje Franks that Zmancbr was nice enough to allow me to acquire. Was planning on smoking them with my brother when he came down for Thanksgiving but the few days they were here were were just a little too crazy to be able to go sit outside and smoke them. I do hope to bring them with me when I go back to Long Island for Christmas and hopefully since we will be back a week we both will find the time to actually sit and enjoy them.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Just sharing the love... I definitely didn't need as many of those as I was able to get and I was more than happy to share. A few of the guys here have tried them and said wonderful things about them so far so I am excited to fire one up soon...:D

As for my rarest cigar(s) I will post a pic next Tuesday of my meager stash of good stuff. :tu

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Typical young kid retort. :D

My most prized cigars don't have pics, because they have already been smoked with friends.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Acceptable answer ;)

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Those Cohiba Sublimes are one of my all-time favs... I only had one once.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Not for me. ;)

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

I have a Siglo VI that I plan on smoking for pharmacy school graduation. although I'm sure many cigars will be smoked in honor of graduation.

While it's not rare, it's unaffordable to me, so I figure by waiting until graduation, I will be able to buy more, more quickly, if I like it.

I also have a 6 year old Anejo Shark my friend Jason (JaVeCa on here) gave me last christmas. Not sure when I'll get to that one.

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Tough crowd!

Guess we gotta know what the hog's most prized cigar is :D

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

It's the only answer I've got, Jordan! :D

Look forward to my first herf with you someday. :)

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

That I haven't smoked yet? Hmmmmmmm....

Maybe a Monte Dunhill that was bought with money that went to the Springfield IL Boys Club....the price I paid will hopefully help make somebody else's day a little better. :)

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Does the Boys Club know it is being sponsored by illegal cigar money. :r Or were these pre-embargo? Maybe I'm missing something, not that I object, just strikes me as funny. They're shirts have all the sponsor logo's on the back....and there's the dunhill logo. :r

If this doesn't make sense I will say it 2:45 in the AM my time. :sleep: I'm sleep posting. Sorry for being off-topic, but I/we did get Icehog to actually answer the question. ;)

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Would enjoy that very much :ss

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Figure I'll bump this one back up top for kicks :ss:

Re: Show us your most prized cigar(s)...
 

Thanks for the bump, I love POpcoRN!!! :ss
