I'm in the US as well. I've smoked plenty of CCs but have only in the past 9 months started collecting by the box. I'm really just curious to what others like and what I can learn at this point in terms of what ages well. Hoping to land a good box of Trinidad's once 24:24 starts back up in 2022.

Current Collection of Boxes and Tubos:

- Partagas Lusitanias (2019)

- PLPC (2017)

- Partagas P2 (2021)

- Montecristo PE (2021)

- H. Upmann Magnum 54 (2019)

- Punch 898 (2021)

- HDM de Rio Seco (2021)

-Partagas Serie D4 (2021) 

- Siglo III (2020)

- Montecristo No. 2

- Montecristo No. 4

- Montecristo Edmundo

- Quai D’Orsay 50 for the lighter side;

- Partagas Shorts

If I had to pick 10 to start a collection (and took availability into account) I'd go for variety in the following:

- PLPC

- SCDLH La Fuerza

- RASS

- Trinidad Coloniales

- Bolivar Belicosos Finos

- Partagas Lusitanias

- Montecristo Especiales #2 

- Punch Punch

- Juan Lopez 1

- VR Unicos

Since the original post was from last year, I do wonder what the OP decided to go with, but I’ll still offer my two cents. Many of these have already been suggested by others, but I can’t disagree.

Bolivar Belicoso Fino (25 cab)

Punch Short de Punch (a couple of 10-boxes)

Juan Lopez 1 (25 cab)

Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto (25 cab)

RASS (50 cab)

Ramon Allones - Allones Superiores (10 box)

H Upmann Connie 1 (25 cab)

Partagás Shorts (25 box)

Partagás Serie D #4 (a couple of 10-boxes)

Punch Punch (25 box)

 

Now, better start selling your organs and then some, to afford it!

Every time that I do the math over my collection I wonder if I was better off spending somewhere else. But then I just light one up and everything seems to make perfect sense. Just like magic.
