cigaraholic Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 For 35 years I bought cigars and smoked them and ordered some more, aging cigars was something I never thought about or heard about. Living in the no no land probably didn't help. I started like most, happy to have a desktop full of cigars. Then another desktop, a third, then.......... Don't think of myself as a collector but a hoarder, fear is a strong motivator. Some days I think it would be easier if I was a Partagas man, one brand, lots of Lucy's, Shorts and 898's. But I smoke everything from Bolivar to Vegas Robaina, only brand I've skipped is Guantanamera. In 05 the barn doors came off and the hoarding started. The only advise I got, which I ignored was stick to the classics, Monte #2, Punch Punch, RyJ Churchills......... Looking at my inventory list I thought the cigars I have the most of must say something about which cigars I'm counting on to age well. Mag 48.....for me some of the best quality tobacco I've seen come out of Cuba in years Mag 50....hoping time is good to these PLPC.....not hard to get a big stock of these since you have to get 50 at a time and I'm a big PC smoker PL Encantos.....they had me with the size, showing my age RASS.....love the brand and what choice do I have if I want a 1 hr RA smoke RASCC....love the brand, the size, the price RyJ PC....sentimental choice RyJ Cazadores.....rumor is this is the best quality tobacco this brand is putting out right now
tydra Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 My purchasing was quite slow paced until HSA started freaking me out with their discontinuation of some of my favs. So I went and bought every Punch RS 11 (7)and 12 (4), SS 1 (2) and Boli CEs (6) I could find. I'm with you as to the H. Upmann 50s, have 4 of these lying in my cabinet. I love PCs as well, so have quite a few in rotation (enough to allow me proper aging) of Party shorts, boli PCs, SCdlH PCs and RASCCs. Also, love the HdM des dieux, based on the always excellent recommendation of El Pres, so I buy whatever I find of them since they're hard to get by in the UAE.
Rushman Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I have always been a buy, smoke, buy, smoke kind of guy. Sure, I have had some fully humidors/lockers in my day, but moving alot (5 times in 11 years) isnt real kind to cigars. Now that I am in Mexico and have a smoke shop of my own,I find it very hard to stock up on anything personally. I can either smoke off the shelf (sure, it dilutes profits) or buy a cabinet, sell 10 sticks to pay for said cabinet and smoke the other 40. Of course, if i knew about Czar's online locker years back, that would have been smart. Once I return to civilization and to being a capitalist pig (1-2 years), I will start stockng up again. I cant easily or affordably replicate the daily sellection I have now, so I am not going to buck the trend.
Hubba Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 just recently added a couple of boxes of Partagas P2s to the stash...love em. Also a big fan of PCs, don't always have time for the big boys.
Guest rob Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 you're right - the cigars you stock up on tell you about your taste. Not just brand.... but also vitola. I keep buying, as funds allow: P 898 HU Sir Winston P Lusitanias Bol CE That pretty much sums up my tastes and size preferences.
bassman Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Discontinued cigars- four cabs of 2002 Partagas Lonsdales, 3 cabs & several boxes of Boli CEs. Still being produced- Multiple boxes of MC#2 & #4, BPC & BCJ, Cohiba CEs Siglos IV & V, RyJ Cazadores and VR Unicos.
mbrody Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Simple, I stock up on the ones I enjoy the most! HuP Mag 46 Mag 50 Connie 1 Winnies (but not large quantities as the longer formats are harder for me to get to) Bolivar PC and CJ CG (again, same boat as the Winnies) Partagas Shorts D4 Lusis Juan Lopez #2 #1 Cohiba Siglo I
Diamondog Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I always keep multiple boxes of Upmann No. 2 Upmann Mag 50 Parti Serie P No. 2 Parti Lusis Parti 898 Parti Serie D No. 4 Monte No. 2 Monte Sublimes Bolivar BF Bolivar B2 Cohiba BHK 56 Cohiba Siglo VI Cohiba LE 2006 Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios SCDLH Muralle Vegas Robaina Unicos Opus X robusto Opus X Perf No. 2 Camacho Triple Maduro Ashton VSG torp Don Carlos Anny Dbl robusto Padron 1964 Imperial Maddy/Naddy Liga Privada T52 belicoso Liga Privada No. 9 belicoso Tatuaje Conjonu 2003 Have single boxes of these but need more Cohiba BHK 52/54 Cohiba Sublime 2004 (have a handful, box soon to come) Cohiba Gran Reserva Hamlets
shrink Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 P 898 HU Sir Winston P Lusitanias Bol CE Me, too.
CigarAsh Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Still only about 4 months into my cuban phase of cigar smoking. So far I've bought multiples of the Por Larranaga Robustos RE. Absolutely love these. A milder cigar with great flavors. Monte 2s and Monte Petite Edmundos are getting stocked away. Sitting on my deck and smoking a fantastic Cohiba Robusto now. These are on the list to start stocking up on. Partagas 898, HDM #2, PLPC, Monte #4are all regulars. Just ordered a batch of singles from the Czar to try some new cigars. Mag 48, SirWinnstons, Behike 52, a few different Cohibas. So many new cigars to try. P.S. diamond dog.- you really should try to put away a few cigars. You'll never have enough a this rate!
cigaraholic Posted October 22, 2011 Author Posted October 22, 2011 Hutch.......your comfort level seems to be twice what mine is. Usually it's 4 boxes and maybe a box to smoke along the way. If it's something fancy like Winnies I stop at 2, don't know why? At least I know where to go when I run out of Encantos. I may need more.........
laficion Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 What cigars have you stocked up on ? Corona Gordas, all of what's left plus Bolivar Coronas Extra) As for the rest, I buy & buy and smoke
Skitalets Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I'm still in the buy and try phase with Habanos. I could imagine stocking up on Boli CEs if those start trickling back in to stock. I know they're discontinued in 2012 but will HSA keep selling them until then? On the NC side, I'm planning a few box purchases soon to put down -- Tatuaje brown label and Opus X or Anejos would absolutely be at the top of that list. Just need more space. :-)
maverickdrinker Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 multiples boxes of : cohiba siglo VIs, lanceros, robustos, Siglo II, I, and IV, cohiba BHK 52,54,56 montecristo EL 2008 Sublimes montecristo EL 2010 Grand Edmundos Ramon Allones RASCC, RASS, RACF Trinidad Fundadores MOntecristo no. 2s and Especial no 1s Soon to have multiple boxes of: montecristo gran reservas, cohiba 1966s, RA Allones Extra
goalie204 Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 i dont stock up really, i buy, smoke, and buy some more !
Guest robusto101 Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 I find it interesting that Cohiba's are not listed very much in this thread. No big fans of Cohibas around here? Or just too expensive?
partifan Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 The only cigars I have had more than 1 box of at a given time is Partagas Shorts, SLR Pacificos, and RASS. I've got cigar ADD so have a cab of PLPC, and a box of BBF, 898, Monte 2, SCDLH Principes, Upmann Coronas Major, Upmann Regalias, Upmann Epicures, CoRo, SLR Regios, ERDM CS, and RG CE.
Hohenthal Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 The only cigars I have had more than 1 box of at a given time That, in my case would be: El Rey del Mundo Demi Tasse Rafael Gonzales Panetelas Extra H.Upmann Coronas Junior H.Upmann Epicures Romeo y Julieta Romeo Nr. 2 Ramon Allones Small Club Corona Allones Superiores H.Upmann Magnum 46

Nah....I'm getting mine private sale...any vendor that has these for sale are fake most likely, unless maybe an auction...lucky man to have 2 boxes....let me know if you ever wanna downsize

jazzbass Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 As Cigaraholic said in the first cigar mentioned.... The H. Upmann Magnum 48. That was a great cigar when smoked young and getting better with every year that goes by.. An all time favorite of mine and I can't wait to see what 5 years does to these beautiful cigars.
