EL1990 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Hey fellow FoHers, Was just thinking...do any of you buy boxes to save for special occasions in the distant, distant future? i.e: for your 50th birthday which is in 20-25 years...you get the idea Just curious... EL1990
brazoseagle Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I have boxes that commemorate the month and year of: My college Graduation My Wedding - to smoke on distant Anniversaries My 30th Birthday - to smoke on distant landmark Birthdays My Son's Birth - to save and smoke with my son when he turns 21, graduates college, get's married, and the birth of his own children (20+ years)
beamer Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I have identical boxes from my wedding that I plan to enjoy on anniversary dates.
NMJoe Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Rob is in search of a box for me from the month and year of my wedding, which I will only smoke on future wedding anniversaries.
pjansen Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I'm too young to have boxes for these special occasions because none of them have happened yet ha but I do plan to do the same and have special cigar which commemorate birthdays, anniversaries and such
nick17 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 i dont but hope to i think its a good idea and will buy boxes to mark those special events in my life
Ophidion Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I have some partagas 150s that I am saving for some future birthdays. Already have about 17 years of age on them at this point and the first one I smoked on my 29th birthday was awesome.
jacktarnold Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I'm definitely working on having boxes for every special occasion that I can think of and the wife will let me.
Colt45 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I think of Chuck, Jack, Van, what's recently happened with Guy, and other friends...... Tomorrow is not guaranteed, so I smoke and drink what I wish as the mood strikes.
charlesod Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I have a jar from my Son's Birth. Cohiba Millimiums. Only one left!
maverickdrinker Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I have 08 sublimes to commemorate my wedding. 2010 grand edmundos to commemorate my son's birth and to share with him in the future as well as to commemorate my daughters 10th birthday (I wasn't into cigars in 2000) Need to figure out what to buy to celebrate my 40th birthday this year.
Wil Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Tomorrow is not guaranteed, so I smoke and drink what I wish as the mood strikes. X2, although I do keep a box of CoRos mostly for special occasions. Part of the enjoyment comes from savouring something that you don't have everyday. Also planning on picking up a box of something that will age well to smoke each year on my son's birthday (Dec 2011). If something happens to me, he can always have them!
Lotusguy Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I do have "birthday boxes" with the birth months of all three of my children. Have not been able to find a box with my birth year even and don't expect to since there were no real date stamps back then.
coblos Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I have some Wednesday boxes that I only smoke on Wednesdays. Does that count? Hump day should be celebrated with a cigar and a wind down into the weekend. I say it counts.
almudawi Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 - Birthday... Davidoff Chateau Margux from early 80s - Anniversary... Fundadores from 1998 (Does not reflect the year) - Graduation... LA GLORIA CUBANA MEDAILLE D`OR No.1 from 1996 (used to be my bday smoke but was demoted after buying the Davidoffs) - My children after delivery smoke (1 in the way "anytime now" and planning for 2 more).. Cohiba Gran Reserva - My 1st born birthday smoke.. La Flor De Cano short robusto (UK RE) until I score a Cohiba Esplendido from his/her birth month/year (April 12)
benjaminbbush Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I think of Chuck, Jack, Van, what's recently happened with Guy, and other friends...... Tomorrow is not guaranteed, so I smoke and drink what I wish as the mood strikes. Just the attitude I needed to hear today!
khamy Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I have boxes that commemorate the month and year of: .. My Son's Birth - to save and smoke with my son .. Liking this idea a lot.
cigarros Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 - Montecristo Robusto EL 2000 - just one stick - Custom roll robusto made by personaly Alejandro Robaina in 1999 - same one's. Is it really special stuff? Ok! I'll be thinking about smoking'em some special occasion
riazp Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Yeah I have boxes for my son's birth month/year. thats it. the rest I smoke when I want to. Like Colt said, with what has happened to Guy, Van, Chuck, Tommorow is never guarenteed. Everyday above ground is a good day, a reason to celebrate life.
randomhero1090 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Only one I have so far is a box from the month and year of my son's birth. Plan on sharing them with him someday.
Nino Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I think of Chuck, Jack, Van, what's recently happened with Guy, and other friends...... Tomorrow is not guaranteed, so I smoke and drink what I wish as the mood strikes. Good attitude - Living well today is the best revenge against tomorrow's uncertainties ...
audio1der Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Nope. I have a single from the year was born which was gifted to me, and am saving it for my 40th birthday. Other than that, they're all to smoke any old day. I have some for my kids' birthdays, but don't really want them smoking, so I enjoy them. If there are some left when they turn 18, we'll see.
Orion21 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I do have "birthday boxes" with the birth months of all three of my children. Have not been able to find a box with my birth year even and don't expect to since there were no real date stamps back then. I know a great site for pre-revolution cigars if you are interested? :)
Lotusguy Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I know a great site for pre-revolution cigars if you are interested? :) I am not THAT old
joeypots Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 If your wallet is normal. meaning you think $500 US is a bunch for a box of cigars, I'd go with a box of Esplenditos. Next might be Siglo VI, Tubos might be fun. Those RA Extras supposedly have the legs to shine for the long term. I smoked a 10 year old Lusitania a while ago. I know there are better cigars, but wow, it was fantastic.
