I have put off my celebratory cigar for too long; my son just turned one and I still haven't smoked my birth gift from a buddy, a 1932 Padilla. I'd say my fav would be an RP Decade or '99 Vintage...

I save a few special aged Habanos for leaving or returning from a deployment, but I generally just smoke to enjoy it. I figure live life to the fullest, because you never know. I save certain things for appropriate occasions like the Johnny-O Culebra I plan on bringing to whatever the next herf I attend is.

i wonder what Amy's gonna reach for...

Default Re: It's a Special Occasion

I've got a 97 Monte A that I've just been sitting on since 97. It's been through 4 humidor upgrades and was supposed to be for my wedding, but I was a bit too tipsy to smoke it. Also I have a 100 year old cigar in the box, but I'm keeping expectations low on that one.

I have a cabinetta that I was VERY generously given by someone here. I was going to smoke it a year ago to celebrate something that never happened and now never will. I have another occasion that will happen in the next year that I will probably celebrate with the cabinetta. If not then, in the next two years we plan on starting our family God willing and that will be as special an occasion as I'll ever have.

I have an 80's Dunhill Mojito. I am saving it for 3/27/10 when I am initiated into the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (aka The Shriners). This is an organization I have wanted to be part of since I was a teenager. My Great Grandpa was a Shriner and the epitome of a Philanthropist.

Thank you for the contest.

Default Re: It's a Special Occasion

I have a Tat Frank that I have been sitting on waiting for a special occasion or special event but have not have anything to special pop up the last year so it may go when the weather breaks just because I am tired of looking at it and drooling over it. I do have a LFD Culebra also waiting for when we have our first child. Figured I would nreak it up with a couple buddies and burn it PPP style.

Default Re: It's a Special Occasion

I have never had the chance to smoke a BBMF, so in the event of a promotion and the idea of having off spring, they would warrant such a cigar.

If I want to be more realistic, I think any Padron Anni. or an Opus would be great.

I have a couple of Ashton Heritage Churchills I've been holding onto for about 4 years waiting for Tampa to win another championship (in any sport).

I have a Stradivarius Robusto Major a friend gave me to smoke on my birthday as well...

The oldest cigar currently in my humidor is a RP Vintage '92. I'm not even sure when I received it but I've had it since my first humidor so it has been at least 5 years (I think).

For special occasions I usually grab something I know tastes good and leave the untried sticks to other occasions. For the birth of my last grandson I fired up a party short cause that was the taste I was looking for.
