Montaigut Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 For me no hesitations: LUSITANIAS Box Code: OPA Dic 09 No other cigar has taken me on a comparable journey of complexity and flavours (some I couldn't even define). Stunning opening, furtive notes, accented passages, changes in rythm and in the background a relentless crescendo building up to an incredible finish. What an incredible symphony! This cigar and I did not want to part company.... even a Lusitanias can be too short a cigar! I wrote this thread whilst enjoying a gorgeous Sir Winston (courtesy of my son) and thinking what could be better than this? Son, I left one of those Lusis in your humidor...
Barteur Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 On my side, Collectable the VR Famosos Ramirez art edition. My best cigars the only boxes I would keep if I had to choose are my Monte Sublimes 2008. Good thread can wait to see what the others have to say.

I've got incoming 898's from DIC 09. Wonder what the odds are of them also being OPA?
CaptainQuintero Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Probably has to be the LFDC short robustos, just everything I love in a cigar, fresh juicy fruits, sugar sweetness and amazing aroma off the smoke.
ramon_cojones Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 01 lanceros 08 cces rass that smell and look incredible
phoenix Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Everything that's still in my humidor. I've gifted away all the crap to the guys at my club with no palate. Natural selection at its best. LOL
nikesupremedunk Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 every single marque and vitola in my small, humble "collection" is my pride and joy. they are all CC's and i haven't had a bad one so far. plus the fact that they're illegal where i live sort of adds to the appeal

LOL i hear ya. i have a box of cheap honduran cigars that i bought thinking i would use them as cheap daily smokes. after 2 or 3 i never wanted to touch them again lol. now it's just taking up precious room in my wineador and i don't even have any friends that smoke to gift them to...
ChanceSchmerr Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 My Cab of Partagas Lonsdales from Andorra + My box of RA 898s from Dubai.......assuming I can bring them back from the dead!
pjansen Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 My two boxes of Monte GE 2010! Just amazing cigars!
ramon_cojones Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Too bad that doesn't amount to 50 cigars LOL!! Quint, I think you finally pushed me over the edge I will have to track down a box.
Zigatoh Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Snap to Thrasherman, love those GEs! (and my P1 jar )
tdlfoto Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 my collection of Hamlet customs - both Robusto Extra and Salamones. unparalleled cigars imho.
Zigatoh Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Man I wish I had some Monte C's, had one a year back, in my top 5 ever easy!
Bolismoker Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 I have a few Don Candidos left that are out of this world, some customs from Greece which are a fair approximation of the old Davidoff blend, the few remaining Davidoff Cheatux series yet to be smoked, and 2 Partagas Salomone from the Habanos Milienium dinner in 2000.
Jnaube Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 It's a great question. Someone was writing about Lusitanias, this is indeed a stunnung cigar. I have about 15 left but for me, I think the favorite CC in my collection has to be the Siglo VI. A while ago, it was the first high end cigar box that I was able to buy and I was blown away by the complexity of this cigar. Since then, I started making more money and had the chance to buy many more Cohibas, even 3 boxes of the splendid 1966 but the Siglo VI remains for me the pride and joy of my collection.
maverickdrinker Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 My boxes of 2008 Montecristo Sublimes that I smoke on my wedding anniversary My boxes of 2010 Montecristo Grand Edmundos that I smoke on my son's birthday. My boxes of BHK 52, 54, 56s, Cohiba 1966s and my Cohib Siglo VIs and lanceros. My final box of Cohiba Sublimes, Double Coronas, Reservas and Gran Reservas. All precious to me.
Fshaw Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Untouched box of 2006 Bolivar Libertadores or my LGC jar...
Rushman Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Do I get to count what's in my wife's collection? If so I'd have to say the Montecristo Compay Segundo 95th birthday limited edition humidor, one of ninety five. It's not ornate or particularly pretty, but it's quite limited. Had she not sold the carved Robaina humidor that would be it. If I have to count my own collection by itself, it would likely be the 08 cabinet of SLR DC's. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=20.630106,-87.069692

Looking forward to sampling again soon...
Ghabanos Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Right now. I'm pretty proud of my 3.5 boxes of 1966
Lotusguy Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 That's a tough call... Probably my two boxes of Punch Ninfas and my one box of Cohiba Reserva from Dec 2002, followed by my box of Monte #4 Reserva.
Lotusguy Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Crap - forgot my box of RA Belicosos RE Germany that I just secured
