What should I smoke for my FIRST birthday?

UPHOTO · 03-08-2009, 02:17 PM

Yeah FIRST birthday!!!

Long story BUT this April 1st will be the first birthday I have ever celebrated! (not an april fools joke either

)

My brother who lives in London is going to fly out for it, friends from all over are coming out. Dinner on April 1st with about 30 people and then April 3rd is the BIG party!!!!!

SO.....

What do I smoke?

I have two special cigars that I've been holding onto.

One is a Cohiba Siglo II that was gifted to me by Oliver (havana_lover)
the other is a Tatuaje Frank. I haven't had either one before.

I know most of you will be saying "smoke one for each night!" but the dinner will be at a place I can't smoke but Fridays party will be at a bar that has a back patio that I can smoke at.

Some have suggested the Frank since it's a rarer cigar.

What does everybody else think?

ps.....also have a Casa Fuente that I've been holding onto.

You should smoke your favorite cigar. Smoking a most anticipated cigar and getting let down by it, on your birthday, sucks.

WildBlueSooner · 03-08-2009, 02:19 PM

Smoke them all!

Very true! Since I've never had a Cohiba before I think that I could maybe be let down.

Those Franks are tasty!!!

Happy First Birthday Brother!!!

hahaha

Yeah that is very true.....

I'll have to be careful of that one.

thebiglebowski · 03-08-2009, 06:00 PM

my two cents - i'll doubt you'll be let down by the siglo II...

icehog3 · 03-08-2009, 07:13 PM

Why not smoke both, Aaron?

UPHOTO · 03-08-2009, 09:30 PM

If I end up with enough time I will do just that!

The Frank is a little to big of a smoke for my taste and patience level.

MedicCook · 03-08-2009, 09:55 PM

I would actually save both of them for the next day when things calm down. It is hard to enjoy a smoke when you have people constantly interrupting you during the smoke.

UPHOTO · 03-08-2009, 10:05 PM

I thought about that. I'm thinking I could end up smoking both.

Wednesday night is my actual birthday so we are going to a nice dinner and then we will end up at a bar that night that let's you smoke cigars. I think that is my best chance.
