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

JE3146 · 12-10-2008, 08:19 PM

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

... 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.

The God of Fire will have to wait until Spring 2010. A year from this coming spring.

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...

MTB996 · 12-10-2008, 08:47 PM

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

alfbacca · 12-10-2008, 10:17 PM

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.

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

Currently, I would consider these my most prized

elderboy02 · 12-11-2008, 05:51 AM

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.

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

MikeyC · 12-11-2008, 07:39 AM

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.

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.

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.
