Thoroughly bummed, needing help on a decision

I'm not a heavy smoker. On a busy week, I might have 3 cigars, and I've only done that in a day once. Well, maybe twice.

But, I really look forward to the days when I can enjoy a nice stick outside on the porch and relax. And, with summer right around the corner, those days should become more plentiful.

Not so fast, my friend. A few weeks ago, I managed to break a tooth which resulted in a root canal. While awaiting my crown, the tooth broke further and now has to be extracted. On Thursday. The surgeon told me today that I should avoid cigars while the healing process is going on, as this is a pretty complex process putting in an implant . . . and the process is going to take up to EIGHT MONTHS.

Ugh. Most of this is going to be out of pocket expense, painful, and I'm going to miss the summer.

But, I have tomorrow. Trying to decide how I say "see ya later" to my sticks for a few months. My thoughts:

Anejo -- I have a bunch of sizes here from last December's shipment
Opus X -- I have 2 that have been resting right at a year in my humidor
Monte #2 -- received as a gift last fall
Bolivar PC -- also received as a gift last fall

Or, I can fall back to the usual sticks (personal favorite the Tatuaje Unicos) and let those age even more. That is my positive spin on this -- instant, forced aging.

Your suggestions are appreciated!

Remember to floss.
