A few of my favorite things ...

Monte 4s from here. 

These are probably the nicest wrappers in my collection, so far.

This thread is incredible. I'm going to end up saving a bunch of these to my phone because these wrappers are things of true beauty. I'm also astonished at the quality of photo composition. What Annie Leibovitz is to portrait photography, some of you are to cigar pics by the humidor. Here is what I got:

ARG JUN 15 Siglo VI - Some like dark and oily PSP, I'll take these all day (and night) long. This is how I like Cohiba wrappers to be.

They were my favorite box for a long time so they got a special photo shoot in 2015 when she was born. (MOS DIC 09 boxcode) still a full box..... and I’ve owned them since 2010..... the wax paper is starting to develop a nice dark sheen inside the box.

For me, it has to be this 2012 box of Esplendidos.

Oops, I guess you meant these...

Best Petit Edmundo ever!




The box on the top row had rather pale wrappers and had rather muted flavors

I did a blind test with the help of le girlfriend comparing both and I could pick the two shades apart during a comparison smoke-off!

Rarely do I see Cuban cigar perfection. But these are it...

Cheers! -Piggy

Another couple of obscure 'off brands' that just happen to taste great, look great, feel great... but don't sell!

The favourites from my collection are both from our esteemed host, can I just say what a fantastic service it is you offer. Why buy blind when Rob and the team put in the hard work finding beautiful cigars like the below.

HQ/PSP VR Unicos with amazingly dark and oily wrappers.





PSP HUHC smoked one of these so far and it was a spectacular example.

Celebration of wrappers, hmm?

While there's much to love about the lively look of a smooth, supple, fine-veined wrapper in new cigars, there is nothing like the signs of perfect maturation in a beautifully aged one. No oil, no gloss or sheen to speak of, occasional slight dusting even - and on top of that, here, some dumb-ass even managed to thoroughly cut the wrapper of one cigar when breaking seals....haha    - still, a much celebrated cigar by me.

That being said, I often wonder when I see those fresh boxes with that sweat-dripping, oil-laden glassine sheets recently.... more an oddity, perhaps a flaw even, but a quality token?

Extras...

My last one such a great cigar.

Need to stock up again!

Yep there pretty much the best cigars you can ever own!!. Had some Rott around that time, and they were a proper nirvana moment. Hats Off

[tucomapache]

Forgot these beauties!
