F&¢✓, Kill, Marry CC version...

[ElJavi76]

If you're not into crass language you can kiss, kill, marry your choices instead. Thought it would be fun to hear your thoughts.

F&¢✓ (Kiss) : A cigar you haven't had possibly, but would have a one night stand with. This means you might only get to try one and only one EVER. Maybe you have had your unicorn. What is it?

Kill : I don't wanna abuse shitty cigars that I've heard bad things about but haven't tried. What cigar would you erase forever that you've actually tried but can't tolerate, or it does nothing for you? You don't have to Jose Piedra's us to death. 

Marry : This is your sweetheart! You're go-to. The cigar that cheers you up. The cigar, that if all cigars disappeared forever you'd want by your side. The cigar you hoard above all else.

My choices...

F : Anything Dunhill and Cuban, specifically the Cabinetta. Read about these. Heard about these from a few fellow CC aficionados. Would love to roll around, no pun intended, with one of these beauts.

K : Honestly Fonseca Cosacos ?... Bought a 4 year old box in Havana last year. Expecting something. Especially with the age but it did nothing for me. Keeping them around to give away at BBQs to amateur smokers.

M : This is a toss up for me cause I have two real loves. However, if I'm being honest with myself I gotta go with my original. Connie A! You guys know I love me some Cohiba Medio Siglos, but if you said pick one of the two... Connie A would take the cake. If for any other reasons... I prefer the vitola over the MS and I love Upmann. 

What say you?

[CigarScentedBeard]

F: Behike (heard alot about them, but to be fair I'll never pay that price. )

K: RyJ A/T no. 3, I absolutely hate them. Still upset I have a half box left.

M:RASSsssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Interesting thread @ElJavi76  

F- Davidoff Chateau Haut Brion from, lets say early ‘80s. I’ve never had a Cuban Davidoff, if I could, this would be the one. An early ‘60’s RA 898 would be a close second, but an RA isn’t a Davidoff. 

K- Party E2, a lot of guys are going to want to kill me for this, (it’s the Behike replacement, right?). But every one of these, aged, fresh, whatever, has been disappointing. 

M- We’re on the same page with the Connie A, still haven’t had a bad one. I adore them all.

F: Cohiba Grand Reserva

K: RyJ Churchill

Hard to hoard these when they can’t be found anywhere.

Ouch! LoL

I like these. Not like I like the Connie A, but I don't dislike then. I also will say I've had a few excellent ones. I only have Laguito and MSU boxes. Doesn't sound like your issue was aesthetics tho.

[Astar20]

F: Anything pre embargo

K: Party shorts , they just don’t seem to do much for me

M: JL2

Unless you hoarded before....

[Cayman17]

F: Talisman - doubt I’ll ever buy a box but I’d like to try one 

K: Monte 2 - just never had a good one 

M: gotta be Upmann. Magnum 50s have been incredible, Connie As delicious, and incredible looking boxes of Mag 46 and Connie 1 standing by.  It’s my go-to marca 

[Jal154]

F: Behike (but as said above would never pay that $ for a cigar)

K: Cohiba maduro or partagas maduro

[anjimj]

F: Dip Bushido someday I will get my one night stand. 

K:  Fonseca 

M: Sir Winnies. 

[OldEasy]

F: Some sort of Cuban Davidoff, but not super familiar with specific cigars as that was before my time. If it has to be something slightly more reasonable that I might actually get my grubby little hands on then I’d really love to try a Cohiba Sublime, have heard nothing but praise.

K: I’m sorry, but I’m with you on the E2, only had 1, but it was the most unenjoyable Cuban I have ever had which was actually smokeable. In fact, construction, draw, etc. we’re top notch, but flavor was not my cup of tea. I also have a slew of kills for non-Cubans (see Arturo Fuente’s entire non-opus portfolio).

M: CCE or CoRO probably. Epicure #2 close behind.

Two interesting kills so far... 

Hoyo a San Juan's and E2's. Two rather popular cigars. It's why you gotta smoke em. On paper they have great followings but once you experience them you might not like a given cigar.

@Haaltert you know I didn't want to say QDO 50s or 54s for that matter but I kinda feel the same. I've had two 50s and a 54 and I might give them another shot but I got little to no pleasure. Insert Cuban tobacco here. Nothing memorable.
