Aging Cigars to Commemorate Birth of Son

[cabaiguan juan]

As I said in my intro, I'm not all too familiar with cuban cigars and hope to learn a bunch here, but I'm even less familiar when i comes to long term aging. so in August, my wife gave birth to our first child, a son. I'd like to get a box of cigars to age, and share with him when he comes of age. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this and i wanted to lean on this community to help educate me on which vitolas and brands would age well over 18 years and still provide a great smoking experience along the way.

Thanks for your help.

Congrats Jon!

You can't go wrong with aged Cohiba's.

Hopefully your son will like cigars! If not, you'll have a great box on your hands!

Do you think they would have enough strength and flavor to age 18 years and still have something to give?

Congrats I'm going to try and age a box but if that doesn't work out my son born in oct will at least get a single cohiba supermos

What I did was get a box of 25 that was born the same month as him. I smoke one every year close to his birthday and on his 18 I hope to share one with him. So far three years in and I'm doing great with this plan

I often said that when I spawn I will try and buy a box of PSP Cohiba Esplindidos to lay down for the long haul.

Shoot rob an email and see if next time he's in the warehouse hemail can find you something he thinks will reward you over the long term

Agree. can't go wrong with Cohibas. A Box of Esplendidos would be nice. Another alternative would be a box of Sir Winnies....great cigar as well!

Do 2 things:

1- get a box of Cohiba Esplindidos (PSP) with a box code of his birth month and year (to smoke when he comes of age)

2- get a box of Cohiba Robustos (same conditions as the previously mentioned) for you to smoke on every birthday till he is 25

Good plan

I'd get Cohiba Lanceros over the Robustos though, but that's just me ;-)

Get something that is consistent and simple, like Partagas rolled Bolivar Royal Coronas.

Actually you are right! Cancel the Robusto go for the lancero vitola

Why just a box of 25? By the time he's ready to share a cigar with you (I'm assuming 18), there will only be a handful left. Go for a cab of 50 and share for years to come!

Wow, you guys are giving me a lot to think about.

I just bought a box of Sir Winston for that purpose.

I personally bought a box of HQ Espendidos. Yeah, there are only 25, but I'll share one with him when he wants (probably sometime after his 18th) and keep the rest for when he wants to smoke with me.
