Webbo Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Around 1999 a friend of a friend was involved with a cigar B&M shop. He offered for me to come visit and pick up a few boxes of CC's (with a discount!). At the time I had no interest in cigars at all so thanked him but politely declined, on reflection which 5 different boxes of regularly available cuban cigars from around that time would have proved the best investment if I still had them today? Either financially or in terms of smoking pleasure. Jumping in a time machine which 5 would you buy from 1999?
Ryan Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Financially couldn't tell you but cigars available then, boxes of which I'd like to have now, would be Por Larranaga Lonsdales H Upmann No. 1 Ramon Allones Coronas Punch Ninfas Saint Luis Rey Churchills in their white tubes.
Smallclub Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 - SLR churchills, definitely, in any packaging, cab 50 , dress box or tubes; or SLR lonsdales, in cab 50. - Punch Super Seleccion No. 2, or a cab of 50 Punch Petit Punch. - Ramon Allones Coronas in cab 50 (although it was already very HTF in 1999) - Cab of 50 Partagas coronas, or a box of Partagas Astorias (that you would have kept intact up today)… - Upmann Super corona and… ERDM Grandes de España / Upmann Monarch A/T / Rafael Gonzales Slenderellas / etc.
RijkdeGooier Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 ERdM Tainos Monte A 25 Partagas Super Selection No.1 Cohiba Lanceros H.Upmann Winnies All to smoke now - would be great
CUBANO Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 LGC Tainos Punch Black Price RA 898 varnished Punch Super Seleccion 2 Punch Ninfas
Lotusguy Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 RA898 x 5 and sell them at 1000% or more profit today. 1
polarbear Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I'd love to get my hands on some more RA898s f r om that time. Realistically, I have a couple of boxes of Diplomatico #2 ' from that period and every cigar I've had has been spectacular
srbbones Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 He likely would have had some of the legendary 1997 fundadores
CaptainQuintero Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 My 'near perfection' cigar to date are Upmann #1 from 1999 so I have to go with that, I popped the ribbon on my first box of Party Seleccion Privada #1 last month and they are pretty amazing so another box of those please!
wookiemofo Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 The answer you want to hear is none of them, they all would have been yardgars, you made the right choice!

BonVivant Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 OR Cuabas, Trinidad and San Cristobal - good ones in 1999 Everyone has a sense of humor This is so cool, that I could not resist the 1997 Fundadores, ROTFL - photos of the boxes and cigars required, please? How about 2002 Cohiba Siglo VI, that everyone missed? Who did not miss it? Photos of boxes and codes, please? 1
Ryan Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 How about 2002 Cohiba Siglo VI, that everyone missed? Who did not miss it? Photos of boxes and codes, please? There is the 10th anniversary one, that came in the cabinet of 90 siglo 1 - VI. Released in 2002. I used to have one (cigar) but I don't anymore.
Laxman Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Any Cohiba Robusto, Espendido, and Siglo 6, RA 898's, Punch SS as far as reg production at that time.
