Desert Island Cigar

Zanaspus · 08-26-2009, 09:50 AM

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.

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

Texan in Mexico · 08-26-2009, 09:54 AM

For me its an easy choice - Padron Belicoso.

NorcalMark · 08-26-2009, 09:59 AM

1997 Bolivar Coronas Gigantes

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

D_A · 08-26-2009, 10:15 AM

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

Blindjimme · 08-26-2009, 10:22 AM

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

sikk50 · 08-26-2009, 10:23 AM

Perdomo Patriarch for sure!

08-26-2009, 10:27 AM

Original Master Blends, either robusto or torpedo!

AD720 · 08-26-2009, 10:43 AM

Right now I'd say

NC: Tat Cojonu 2003
CC: Cohiba Sig III

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

KenS · 08-26-2009, 10:45 AM

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?

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

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.

aich75013 · 08-26-2009, 10:51 AM

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!

I'd have to go with:

Oliva V Torpedo

And since the OP requires a back-up:

Tatuaje Miami Torpedo

bobarian · 08-26-2009, 11:11 AM

Tatuaje Especiales or Camacho Corojo Diploma 11/18

08-26-2009, 11:19 AM

Tatuaje Reserva J21 or Illusione ~MK12~.

Skywalker · 08-26-2009, 11:24 AM

Illusione Holy Lance or Epernay!!!

ade06 · 08-26-2009, 11:27 AM

Pam 64

LeoM · 08-26-2009, 11:31 AM

El Triunfador or original Padilla Obsidian
