Anniversary

ninjavanish · 10-10-2011, 04:01 PM

Today marks the passing of 1 year since I married my beautiful wife.

So I thought, damn, a cigar would sure be nice.

But, I decided to fore go the task of sifting through the seemingly endless forest of cigars in my collection only to be disappointed that perhaps I had overlooked the perfect cigar to smoke on my first anniversary.

I therefore went directly to my local B&M and selected 2 fine smokeables.

One for now and one for later.

Padron Family Reserve 46 Years Natural
Room 101 Namakubi Monstro

I even bought a bottle of one of my favorite beers with which to commemorate the event... La fin du Monde, a delicate bouquet of Canadian Goodness, triple fermented and stopped with a cork.

Now the questions remains: Which to smoke first?

EricF · 10-10-2011, 04:04 PM

Start with the 101 and finish with the Padron!!!

ninjavanish · 10-10-2011, 04:05 PM

I'd also like to give a big congratulations to my father (SvilleKid) and Uncle (TideRoll) who share the same anniversary date... albeit... years apart (Mom and Dad's 30th, Aunt and Uncle 19th)

Happy Anniversary.

What will you be burning tonight?

Just really got settled back in house after visiting your grandmother for several hours. I found a box of mixed Ashton VSGs in the coolers last night that I had forgotten about. I'm thinking either one of them, or maybe the Ashton ESG I've been saving in the NC humidor.

Either some Four Roses to sip with it, or may open the Blanton's or the Conecuh Ridge.

I say Padron now & the 101 some other time...

Mattso3000 · 10-10-2011, 04:16 PM

Namakubi is the stronger smoke, if you go back to back you may not appreciate the nuances of the Padron...

Col. Kurtz · 10-10-2011, 04:19 PM

Padron. I have never been disappointed w/ one.

Congrats!

G G · 10-10-2011, 05:04 PM

Congrats on the anni, I have no idea what to tell you on which to smoke. I say put em in a hat and grab one.

tsolomon · 10-10-2011, 05:10 PM

Padron.

I'm with Greg, I have not tried either, but congrats!

Bill86 · 10-10-2011, 05:14 PM

Congrats Jeremy!

Oh and I voted the Padron.

10-10-2011, 05:35 PM

Congrats on the anniversary Jeremy! I vote for the padron. I can't vote for a stick I haven't had yet. Great choice on the beer! Not too many people have heard of let alone tried anything from unibrou. La fin du monde is my favorite from them.

MurphysLaw · 10-10-2011, 05:28 PM

I voted Padron, seems fitting for an anniversary

GolfNut · 10-10-2011, 06:38 PM

Congratulations and Happy Anniversary my friend!!

jjirons69 · 10-10-2011, 06:41 PM

Congrats to the entire Trifecta!

CigarNut · 10-10-2011, 06:55 PM

No question: Padron!

Skywalker · 10-10-2011, 06:58 PM

Congratulations!!!

Smoke the Padron. I hope to be able to puff on one myself someday. Seems it's a hands down winner no matter who you ask.

Congrats on 1 year married! Maybe you should buy a handful of Padrons and age them and smoke one each anniversary.

And don't forget a smoke for your wife!

Ratters · 10-10-2011, 07:42 PM

And they said it wouldn't last.

Start with the Padron. And then finish with another one.
