Any other special occasion? Padron 45th or 64 Anny, or any stick I've deemed to be 'rare' or 'special'. This usually involves sticks given to me by people that are either CC or one that I only have one of.

For me, I would probably try and track down a Padron 45th. I ordered the CRA 10 cigar sampler, so that I would have a celebratory smoke for passing each IT certification test I will be taking. There are 10 total tests to take before I am fully certified, and 10 cigars to smoke. Coincidence? I think not!

Opus X A's from 2005 when my 3 year old graduates from high school, college, and then gets married...

This past weekend I went up to Chicago for the 85th birthday of my Wife's Great Aunt.
There were over 100 people at the event, I knew maybe 30% of them.

It seemed like it was going to be a special occasion; so I packed and smoked a Havana Soul Hirsch Y Garcia special edition blend. It was rolled by Pepin at an event for Cigar King in 2006. (as I recall I believe the wrapper used was different than the regular Havana Soul, the blend was not significantly changed).

It was quite an enjoyable cigar; but what made the experience better was having guys slowly migrate to the fire pit to join me. I had brought along a mix of aged cigars in my 15 count Otter box; it was full at around 10 and by Midnight was empty.

I usually break out a Partagas Churchill Deluxe on the average "special occasion". I have a few other individual sticks reserved for individual occasions. If any of that makes any sense to anyone.

Starchild · 10-01-2009, 11:15 AM

I've got some Monte Especial #1's from my daughters birth month and year that I enjoy on her birthday.

The other one that stands out is an '07 Boli RE double corona that I was planning to enjoy at Epic Herf 2

I have a Dunhill Mojito I have been meaning to smoke for a special occasion but have not done it.

ade06 · 10-01-2009, 11:39 AM

I have a box of monti #1s which I plan on smoking one on each of my son's birthdays.

kelmac07 · 10-01-2009, 11:41 AM

I have a drawer in my humi that I keep my "special" sticks in...waiting to smoke an 80s Davidoff. Is the most "special" in my collection.

10-01-2009, 12:30 PM

I have some ESGs, Opus, and some CCs but will grab an Anejo 55 when I finally get my weight under 200lbs.

01-30-2010, 09:19 AM

I'd probably have to say an opus x perfecxion. Those are
some really great smokes!

10-01-2009, 12:36 PM

A friend gave the wife and I a box of cuban Partagas for celebration of us both finishing our Master's degrees.

Sdly, I don't have any ideas for an upcoming celebration: bout to break an annual goal at work, given to me essentially to make me fail. I'm gonna finish a few months early, which means time to overachieve and stick it to the man

sikk50 · 10-01-2009, 01:08 PM

Well I'm right there with Slavac, but uh if the situation were different (ie in a career or married) I'd be grabbing the Forbidden X Toro I have stashed. But there's a strong likely hood it'll be burned when I graduate from CSUC next winter

s15driftking · 10-01-2009, 01:25 PM

On my one year wedding anniversary:

I plan to smoke the custom rolled CC that joshpip gave me as a gift for my wedding.

muhren · 10-01-2009, 04:40 PM

I was gifted a Partagas 150...which, after a little research, turned out to be a 'special' stick. Pretty rough looking stick!

Can anyone give me some info on it? I tried to search the forum and the term '150' was too short to be included so I got a bunch of Partagas CC threads.

Help!

A special edition Partagas that came out in 1995 and uses a cameroon wrapper from 1977.

Everyday is a special occasion to me. Life's too short to smoke cigars that are just "ok".

For my recent 40th Birthday I had a Porterhouse and an Upmann Mag 50. It was divine.
