El Presidente Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The Habanos sa cigar fairy takes another swig from the bottle of Santago 11 as she looks over the Malecon from her balcony apartment. She muses, "It was never meant to be like this". Her reason for existance was to bring joy to lovers of habanos all over the world. Her reality is being stuck in a room as "a guest" of the of the evil empire being forced to touch her wand to the latest Talisman and 90,000 euro humidor. The touch of the wand opens wallets and removes all common sense Frustrated, lonely, angry, drunk.....she decides to rebel and grant a random habanos lover his or her wish of a lifetimes supply of any cigar since the 1970's (in existance or discontinued). Give some thought as to your favouirite vitola, your preferred marca and cigar flavour profile. If you need a hand, reference www.cubancigarwebsite for some ideas. Try to google up a photo of what you decide upon and put it up in this thread. Let us know the reason why you chose it. let's do this as a draw and I will put up a 3 cigar aged sampler to the winner drawn Friday afternoon our time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Benzopyrene Posted February 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2018 partagas SDC #1 for me......miss those, and many more.

shlomo Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Bolivar Gold Medal, or any stronger, punchier lonsdale. Yum. Thanks for the comp! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJRPorter Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 For me, it is a Davidoff Dom Perignon. I have always wanted to smoke one, but have never had the opportunity. Actually, I did have the opportunity, from a questionable source, but I didn’t want to pay the exorbitant price to crush my own dream, if the cigar turned out to be as fake as the seller was skeezy.

Stump89 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I have to go with the short lived Trinidad Robusto Extra. I was able to get a box from 2007 when I was first getting into CCs a few years ago. The Trex was the first Cuban I smoked that made me realize what I was missing. Perfectly balanced and rich flavor profile that blew me away. I only have 2 left now, but they've been a treat every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGC Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Romeo y Julieta Celestiales Finos en cello... only the old blend will do... 80’s and 70’s. The cigar has it all. Body, complexity, intoxicating aromas... floral, exotic spices, balanced sweetness. The finish goes on and on... and exhaling out your nose will make you feel alive. I love vitolas with some curves to caress... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ken Gargett Posted February 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2018 punch super selection 2 - yes, will try and remember to find a pic. why, because they were an absolutely stunning cigar. because they were possible evidence of the existence of a divinity, while their de-listing was yet more confirmation that such existence is a myth or that the said divinity sees no reason not to cruelly toy with us. who said divinities had to be benevolent? perhaps slightly different to the intention, as much as i love the current Partagas Lusi, and i do not want to see them disappear, perhaps they could bring back the old style lusi under a new name? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corylax18 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Por Larranaga Lonsdale, or Coronas. I know there's been a couple RE releases in the Lonsdale size, but it would be great to have these back on a regular basis. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouftastic Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No. 2 (or No. 1) After my first LCG (a No. 4 from 2015) last year I have been on the hunt for boxes of No 1/2/3's. Was lucky enough to score a box of No. 3's a few days ago but the one I am really after is the No. 2 & No. 1. Too bad they were discontinued (out of production for the No 2?) before I really got into cigars. BTW If anyone has any No. 1 or No. 2's and wants to try a No. 3 PM me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwsaw63 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 For me it's got to be the RA Celestiales Finos. Shunned at birth as an ugly duckling but blossomed into a beautiful swan. I still have most of a box left which I dip into on special occasions. Would love to have an endless supply of these! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nekhyludov Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Late '90s Punch Double Corona. These were never rare, limited, or double-banded. But it was the first CC that made the lightbulb go on. "Oh, sh*t! THAT'S what all the fuss is about." Simple nostalgia for me. Here are some '96 I just grabbed a pair of ...

Fuzz Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Too easy. There is one cigar that I miss and have too few left. Hdm Des Dieux. For me, the size is perfect. After a good long nap, that sweet creamy vanilla goodness, hints of biscuit and a touch of cedar all come out. As much as I love the Partagas SdC #3 (which I also wish I had a lifetime supply of), I'd still pick the Des Dieux. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzy Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Not that I ever smoked one as they were discontinued in the 70's but La Gloria Cubana Flechas seem interesting to me. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treberty Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 There would be a few, but the winner would be the Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No. 1... just a brilliant smoke! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetary Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Like @BJRPorter, I have great curiosity about Davidoff, and would love the opportunity to explore their entire line. ...Yes, it's a cheat of an answer, but if I had a wish, this might well be it. Articles like this one from Suckling in 1993 show that it was far from sunshine and roses, but also that there were indeed some terrific rich cigars in the range, even in the final years approaching 1991 when Davidoff left Cuba. Nary a one above 47 ring, and most in the 38-42 range. Glorious! OTOH, maybe it was all fluff and marketing? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzArd Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'm going with the Raphael Gonzales Coronas Extra. Always a sucker for the sweet things in life. These smell sweet right in the box. Lots of white chocolatey goodness, some fruit making appearances and the perfect size. Can't believe they're gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnS Posted February 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2018 The best cigar I have ever smoked is the Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva 2003 and I'm truly happy that I've sampled it. However, it would be nice to enjoy another release of this cigar. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kferguson Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Lamentably I never had the chance to smoke the La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'or no. 2. When I first started working at the cigar shop I had never had a Cuban cigar, and watching the way that Dr. Joe described his love for the blend really made them seem like the greatest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatPete Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I miss the Rafael Gonzalez Lonsdale. A smooth elegant and always flavourful smoke, with a spicy floral profile I've not had in any other cigar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Habana Mike Posted February 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2018 Any cigar? Then it's the Dunhill Malecon for me! Chose this as the one I had chance to smoke was fantastic and I'd welcome the opportunity to smoke these on a regular basis. Cabinetta was also a great smoke but Lonsdales over Robustos I say! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaclub Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 First choice would be the Davidoff Latour. Perfect size, the corona 42 by 5 5/8. Never had one, but perfect ratings and a Cuban Davidoff sounds good to me. A second choice would be the MdO no2 as several other members have selected. Again, another cigar I have yet to have, but the overwhelming positive reviews of this cigar makes it a no brainer.
