Doh. My mistake. Facepalm. I didn’t read Rob’s hypothetical thoroughly. To answer the question that he asked, I’d probably just let the guest rummage through my collection/hoard and pick whatever and how many ever struck their fancy as I may now have more cigars than I will ever smoke in my lifetime 

Also I misspoke; I was thinking of a Litto Gomez cigar called an Americano 5 3/4” x 46. I don’t remember the year that was marked on the box though.

Padron is my consistent backup. I usually reach for a Family Reserve, doesn't matter which one.

My last two sessions ended up ever so slightly wanting, which was perfectly fixed by two different CC Petit Coronas. On Friday, a lovely Rafael Gonzalez Perla (BRA May 2013) and this evening an SCdLH El Principe (2005; no box code), each of which gave a run for the best of the evening. There's always something special about small format CCs.

I agree with the Monte No. 4; right size, right strength, right price.
