El Presidente Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 OK guys and girls......you know what is in your humidor. You know what you like, love and detest.....you know...that Esplendido, D4 or Lonsdale that is a 98/99/00/01 which cost you a bomb for the box, taste like crap and deep down you know they always will :-) Here is the question...based on what you own....right now...what cigar would you hand your best mate who has just done you the biggest of all favours. and What would you hand that mooching, parasite of a mate who hangs out with him...and who is also popping around.

jgros001 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 best mate: '98 Bolivar CG, because I know it will be perfect and he would love it. the mooch: a Don Gabriel dog rocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigardawg Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hmmm, my best mate...I would probably reach for a Taboada (sp?) Dom Perignon or Piramide or a Partagas Serie du Connoisseur No. 1 from '98. That mooch...and yes, there is one that comes around fairly frequently...I don't waste any of my Habanos on this guy. No palate whatsoever. I hand off my freebies from the RTDA.:-P Of course, some of them are pretty darned good cigars...others, not so much.

Colt45 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Right now, today? Best friend gets Bolivar Coronas Gigantes (H.Upmann Sir Winston close second, but some have had draw issues) Mooch: In reality gets a boot in the a$$, but if I must, gets a Partagas SD4 - the ones I have don't taste bad, they have no taste at all.

stever Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Best Mate: ERDM Tainos ('97) or Sir Winston ('02) Moocher: HDM Du Maires. It's a decent smoke, but because of its small size, the moocher should get the message. Only thing is, they are now discontinued. Hmmm. In the alternative, a R&J Belicoso.

Best friend Special Occasion: SLR DC Best Friend any ol day: Upmann Magnum 46 Mooch: Funny story. I have a friend that come by a few days each week and we drink rum and smoke a cigar after work. I really dont mind giving him a cigar, but then I started to count on my fingers and toes just how much I was "gifting" him. **** on average Im giving him 3 a week. So I had a lonely Piedra that I sure as hell wasnt going to smoke so I gave it to him. I wish I had the camera out. His face looked like he just smoked a piece of dry poop. He knew instantly it was a sub-par smoke. Usually a Bolivar PC for the mooch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harwellplant Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 best pal - i (already) open the humidor for him, and let him make his selection. if he asks for input (which he doesn't really do anymore) i would suggest some nice, aged vru's that are absolutely off the hook right now. moocher - i usually give out choix supremes or partagas de luxe a/t's. i also keep a drawer of non-habanos i have bought/been given over the years for this as well.

purosdave Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Good friend- I usually tailor my choice to what I know that they enjoy, but if say it was you Rob coming to visit and I had no idea it would probably be a '98 Trinidad. Mooch- Being a sales manager with a humidor in the office, there are different levels of mooch. Good customer- RyJ Coronitas en Cedro Good customer that just made a large purchase- Something from home Customer that owes me lots of money- Whatever crap I happen to have, right now La Flor Dominicana and Flor de A Allones.

Van55 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 » best pal - i (already) open the humidor for him, and let him make his » selection. Good answer. If asked for my advice on which to select from my humidor I would steer him in the direction of 97 Montecristo Especiale #1, '98 Bolivar Corona Gigante or '00 Cohiba Lancero. As for a mooch, it depends. If he or she were a sincere newcomer to Cuban cigars whom I wanted to help along, I would reach for a Quai D'Orsay Corona Grande or Corona Claro. If he or she were just a mooch for whom I had no respect or hope for respect, I'd dig into one of my non-Cuban humidors. I ain't going to waste ANY Cuban cigar on a rat such as that.

COJ Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 » OK guys and girls......you know what is in your humidor. You know what you NO...honestly not... But for the moochers I have the perfect thing...have a couple of bundles of some DR overruns that a vendor blowed out for almost nothing a couple of years ago...they are perfect for that...bid suckers 6x50 dark oily wrappers...looks delish....unfortenately they are almost tasteless... For my best mates...well thats more difficult...but same as I'd choose for my self...but what is harder to say...depends a lot on the mood of the moment...

broozer Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 for a GOOD friend i've give them one of my '86 punch exquistitos or a '98 partagas perfectos OR one of my diplomaticos #7's from '92. for the mooching ****a, well i'd give them one of my cheap non cubans i smoke on the weekends at gigs. i would never waste a good cigar on someone who just wanted to smoke because they think it's cool. bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorscheC4S Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 » » Moocher: The cigar Bill Clinton "used" on Monica Lewinsky :-P The only promblem is that it's unavailable.........Clinton waited for it to "dry out" and gave it to Al Sharpton to smoke.

shrink Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Here's a different answer: I wouldn't give my best mate a vintage, rare, or other cigar that he can't find more of. I'd give him an '06 Monte No. 2. Then, when his eyes opened as wide as saucers, I'd show him where he could order a whole box for himself. I'd give the moocher one of a box of Punch SS #2's (read on) that a vendor replaced, because they had been improperly stored, dried out, and tasted more bitter than sh*t.

Smokin_Safari Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hey Prez - good question! Does though depend on your mood - right now I'd choose a Partagas Piramide LE. If you still have moochas, perhaps you're handing out too much quality - what I found works was keeping a box of Macanundos (doesn't really matter which) as even the dog runs & hides when they come out for the 'friends' who pop in. What are they made out of anyway???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjellfrick Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'd give my best friend a choice between a 98 Lusi or a 03 SLR Serie A. The moocher would get a Guantanamera I got as a gift pack with an order once. I shudder at the thought of having to smoke it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
