The '99 Limitada MC Robusto that's been in my cooler-dor since 2001. I am gonna smoke it if anything good happens in my life, but since nothing good ever happens that might never happen

I hope you get to enjoy that smoke and tell us how it was!

I want to smoke a Dunhill, a Davidoff and someday an old Partagas Serie Du Connaiseur. Maybe a Punch Ninfa.

That sounds like the next cigar you smoke to me.

Impressive list! There’s so much to look forward to one day trying! Right now, I lust for the Diplomaticos Bushido. Heard about this cigar when I first got into the hobby, have been chasing ever since!

Smoking that cigar would be a good thing happening in your life.

 I'm a big Sancho Panza fan and try to collect anything I can get my hands on. I've never known anyone that even owned these except maybe MRN?

Everything in this image especially the Dorados and Tronquitos, which come in the most ridiculous tree trunk humidor thing. Quite possibly my favorite packaging ever. BRING IT BACK HSA!

Like @Havanaaddict above, I have experienced a lot of my “white whales” in Davidoff (not overly impressed by the few I smoked), Dunhill (OVERLY impressed with them, have a Varaderos still left in humidor I need to burn), Hamlet rolled Cuban Salamones, Monte 2 GR, 1492, Winnies from early 90s. For the sake of fun, I’d say the Cohiba Gran Reserva, PL Magnum, a Tang Upmann Monarch (have had Tang Coronas and reg Upmann Monarchs-trades anyone lol), 2001 SLRDC, 1980s Boli Especiales. I would like to try a Padrón Millenium.  

Many of these I’ve had the chance to buy at prices not considered so ridiculous today. One time I actually passed on a sampler to include 4 Réservas and Grand Réservas with the CGR in it for $500 USD 🤦‍♂️…Not to be “that person” but there’s so many great cigars to be smoked, a white whale could pop up any time— like today— ULA code 2014 P2…blew me away. White whale—not really just a superb tobacco run. I digress—the hunt is really a lot of the fun as well!  🥂
