Must Have in Collection

[Scarhead]

This is similar to El Presidente's Topic concerning Top 10 Cigars of 2011. What cigars do you think should be in one's collection? To make this realistic the cigars should be those currently available (not vintage or specialty auction such as pre-embargo cigars). Also, you don't have to limit them to just Cuban.

[CanuckSARTech]

Not in any particular order at all, but just the dozen essentials that I think every humidor should have:

CoRo / Cohiba Siglo IV.

RASS / RASCC.

Trinidad Fundadores / Trinidad Robustos T.

Partagas 898.

LGC MdO No. 2.

Montecristo No. 2.

Montecristo No. 4.

R&J Romeo No. 2 tubos / Mille Fleurs / or GOOD Short Churchills or Coronitas en Cedro.

Bolivar GM's / Boli PC's / Boli Belicosos Finos.

Diplomaticos No. 2.

And, a slight variance here to select for the last two spots:

HDM Le Hoyo des Dieux / Partagas Lusi's.

PLPC / SCDLH La Fuerza.

[rfenst]

Monte 1,2 and 4

RyJ Exhibicion No. 4 and Short Churchills

HdM No. 1, Especial and Churchills

And a few others...

This, IMO are the basics of a decent collection.

So much Monty love, try as I might I just don't 'get it'.

For me RASS is king, I always have a couple of boxes and have a 50 cab buried away to rack up the years.

RASCC are also great, the most complex smoke of it's size imo.

RyJSC are a great 'change of pace' robusto for me, light and sweet.

PSP2 I love these for times when I want a spicy, meaty, hearty smoke. I find they age really well and are more consistant than PSD4s.

BPC Probably the best petit corona young, amazing chocolate flavours (with a few years it's a close fight with the PLPC)

VR Unicos beats the M2 for me every time, it's got more chocolate, more coffee and a little fruit in the mix as well.

That's probably the standard production core of my collection.
