JMH Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I need some recommendations for an awesome cigar for a special event I've got coming up. The only requirement is that it's not too strong because I'll be smoking it later in the night, and lots of alcohol + nicotine doesn't go well for me. I prefer smaller ring gauges, but I'm open to anything really. Since I'll be buying it from my local shop, I doubt that they'll have any aged stock, so it should be something that is good fresh. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2advnture Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I would vote for: Monte Mill Robusto Cohiba Reserva Piramide Elegrant and complex but not too strong and won't overload you palette with spice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thschrminm Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Guys... Don't laugh but... Creamy and woody and not too spicy, I would recommend a 3-4 year old Quay de Orsai Imperial!!! If you could find it with more age go for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echeck Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 After a lot of alcohol, I wouldint reccomend anything too aged or expensive. You wont pick up many of the aged flavors. I would reccomend a RyJ Churchill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 HDM Churchill, mild pretty and the perfect size for a special occasion. Not to expensive and available, a well known classic. If smaller gauge is needed consider the Cohiba Lancero. Ultra-classy and not an everyday smoke for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 If you like smaller rings, I'd concur with the Lancero recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Presidente Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Cohiba Lancero. Trinidad Fundadores Cohiba Corona Especial La Gloria Cubana Medaille D'or No 1 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMH Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 Thanks for all the suggestions. At the moment I am leaning toward either the Cohiba Lancero/ Corona Especial, HdM DC or RyJ Churchill. Does anyone have a personal favourite out of these four?

Bill Hayes Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 The Ryj is more toasty. The corona especial is more spicy and peppery. But the HDM DC is smooth, creamy, aromatic and complex but a lot milder than the other selections, will take closer to 2 hours to enjoy and won't knock you around too much. Depends on time. But I'd pick the HDM. I love em'. Even though they are a little mild for some of the heavier smokers on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be halving it with my cigar mate, so it shouldn't be too hard to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehdg Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I too would vote for either of these: Monti Millenium Robusto or HdM Piramide EL '03. Can't go wrong with either imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 You guys have named some nice, hard to obtain cigars. Remember, he has to be able to walk into his local shop and buy this cigar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echeck Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 RyJ Churchill would do the trick nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Hey JMH any of the aformentioned sticks should do as I ain't seen no junk recomended. There is a potential problem with the original request. A "special cigar" may not be easily obtainable, and all depends on what you think is special. Make it different than your ussual smoke and all the best to you. Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
