Rev...I enjoy your thought provoking posts...thanks!
I have a box of smokes that I have saved for each of my children's birthdays. I plan on smoking one a year as they get older. I'd posted a thread about it (can't find it on the quick) about buying my son a box of PAM 45s and having the entire Padron family sign it with a Happy 18th Bday wish to him and then re-factory seal it. I would call that special since it's going to be over 16 years before it gets broken open! I had a few LgC Reservas from '06 I was saving for my daughter's wedding day BUT ended up finding a box of them so now I have a few more than expected! I'm figuring they'll be my annual Bday smoke for her now after I get through the Liberty '06s. So, that's the long story. Short story = Yes I have special occasion smokes. ![]() M

No, since my special occasions are always with my wife and kids and I don't smoke when they are around.
Everything in my humidor is up for grabs as long as the age is right. Smoke them if you have them is my moto.

I haven't been smoking that long, so saving a cigar for me means about a year... But yes. Some cigars I set aside for when everything is perfect. I have no idea how long I'll hold them. Time will tell.

Todd, I used to hang on to "special" cigars for special events, but I just found that the hype I built into that cigar in most cases provided a let down for me.
I was saving a Opus BBMF Maduro for the last three years, I gave it to on of the owners of Xikar in Deadwood a couple weeks ago. I got more enjoyment watching some else enjoy a nice rare cigar they didn't have to pay for.

In the past I have bought special cigars specifically for special occasions. For instance, I bought some super old cigars once for a camping trip in the Spring, then the guys I planned to smoke them with didn't come, so I smoked them with sofaman at the next camping deal in the Fall. That was a few years ago.
I am fortunate to be blessed with an awful mess of really nice cigars that would fit in the "special occasion cigar" range. I'm not saving any of them. When someone comes by who appreciates a good cigar, or I go where someone appreciates a good cigar, I take a bunch along. Any of my cigars are your cigars, I've got nothing that I won't share at any moment. That makes it real fun, cause I make someone else pick when they come over. Their excitement adds another level, ya know?
