You can only smoke anything from the portfolio of one Cuban marca for the rest of your life - what is it?

[DeeBeezy]

Let’s hear it!

[rcarlson]

H. Upmann. Never grow tired of them. All of them.  

[zacca]

Not to be cliche but Cohiba. It’s got all bases covered and when on, almost every vitola is among the best of the best. 

[pohlmad]

H Upmann. Many varieties, violas, and home run hitters (No. 2, Sir Winston, Mag 54, and more). I would miss the PSD4 and the JLP 1&2 but picking just one marca was an easy choice for me. 

[Ford2112]

Partagas. Ticks my boxes. 

[barrygoodvibes]

I don’t care if it’s cliche. Cohiba. Vast selection of lines and vitolas. Maduro, Siglo, Classics, Behike. No brainer.

I hope you have some deep pockets!!!  🤪

Coin toss between H. Upmann and Hoyo, but I have to give the nod to H. Upmann.

[griller]

Upmann for me, too. However, if funds are no concern, Cohiba would be my choice.

I thought the guy who started this thread is paying for them.

Two words. Anything Cohiba. The End.

Perfect answer 👌

Trinidad

[VasileDulap]

Upmann. Until the price hike in 2022 it would have been Trinidad.

The very notion of “you can only smoke one brand for the rest of your life” is a fabricated reality. So within this fabricated reality I would pick La Gloria Cubana. My standard would be a 30 or 40 year old MDO2. My shorter pub smoke would be one of those Spanish D5 size babies, and the new Glorias for any day with the letters “d-a-y” in them. If I got into a street fight I’d pull out an Inmensos to fight with, and for parent teacher meetings I’d hand out MDO1’s all round.

Cohiba would likely be my answer. Initially I was leaning H.Upmann but when I realized this isn't about funds, but just a thought experiment, the answer became much more clear.

[BrightonCorgi]

Another Cohiba vote from me.

[Puros Y Vino]

Tough call. When I look at my collection of bands in the large glass vase they're in, the dominant bands are Partagas, H Upmann and Cohiba.

If money was not object - Cohiba. Lots of great sticks in various vitolas. Actual smoking record as per the bands? H. Upmann. Mag 46/50's Connie A's, Sir Winnies, HUHC. Partagas is a close second in amount smoked.

[Ruggerpgh99]

Unlimited funds - Cohiba

Otherwise it is tough, but I give the nod to Montecristo. Ramon Allones is a close second, but only because I love the RASCC so much.

Excluding Cohiba, my heart says Punch, but my practicality says Upmann.

If it was the Punch of old, what a marque!

This is an interesting question that's a little different than the "only one cigar for the rest of your life" question.

Cohiba Esplendidos is always my "one cigar" answer, but one Marca makes me ponder a little more. I think I get more variety from Upmann than Cohiba but retain high quality and that's what I would want if I was limited by one Marca. 

It's interesting but moot since my wallet certainly speaks up on this matter. My wallet says Fabrica 5 and I'll live with whatever CCs I have left.

I would've for sure said Punch, but the portfolio 2026 is pretty limited. If I'm including EL's and RE's, I'd 100% take Punch as a single regular marca.  Upmann so close 2nd. 

[Lucas Buck]

COHIBA!

[tbelle7]

Cohiba. Easy answer.
