If you could, what 3 cigars would you most want to smoke ?


Recommended Posts

Cohiba Grand Reserva. Based on watching the vid by Pres and Smithy those things shouldn't be legal

I'm more basing the rest of my list on not so much what I havnt smoked but what I would like to smoke based on a perfect example, knock your socks off and kicks you in the ass experience cigar.

Monte #2

Bolivar belicoso fino

When those are good they define what smoking a great cigar should be all about.

Thank you all for the great response, you have all put out some really fine smokes ;)

I sometimes feel that the best cigar for me, is the cigar that I dream to smoke, there is

nothing wrong with that, even if that cigar doesn't exist, because if you stop dreaming,

you stop smoking cigars and so many other enjoyable things in life. :P

So, What 3 cigars are your wish or dream cigars ?. Keep them coming

and lets see what wishful dreams are made of. :D

Thanks to all for participating. :innocent:

In no particular order:

Recent production

San Cristóbal O'Reilly

Cohiba Gran Reserva

anything fresh off of Mons' table

Dream cigars, at a time in history

the final blend sample for Fidel's personal Lanceros

the final blend sample for the 1492 coronas gordas

the first cigar smoked by Castro after arriving in Havana on January 8th, 1959

Dream cigars, in existence today

Lancero from Fidel's cajón of 100 now in the possession of MRN

That makes it even tougher for me Guy. My first thought is to combine traits of some of my favorites, but my gut tells me I'd end up with a

disjointed mess - kind of like a chef who over does a dish with too many ingredients.

So being the simp that I am, I'll just dream and be happy with a cigar(s) that taste great and draw properly, regardless of the band or name.

Beautiful thread!

Currently available:

Cohiba Gran Reserva

An authentically fine fresh custom

Epicure #1 circa '01 -- used to have these while sitting on a bench looking at the Eiffel Tower. Every time I have one now it takes me straight to Paris

More fantasy than reality:

Cohiba Coronas -- I had some but smoked them up at the time without any idea how rare they would become

1492

Romeo y Julieta Romeo -- had one in 1980 (!) and it always stayed in my mind as the greatest. Probably like remembering a girlfriend from long ago -- the other stuff falls away and all you remember is the excitement

Impressive list Wilkey...my list is a bit more mundane...thought about vintage smokes at first, but then decided to go with what I really wanted to smoke right now...

1. Edmundo Dantes 109

2. Bolivear 5ta Avenida 109

3. Cohiba Gran Reserva

What can I say...I like the 109s. Habanos should make more cigars in the 109 format, IMHO.

List could go on and on... Let me cut it down

1 Hoyo de Monterrey Particulares from the 70´s

2 Dunhill Cabinettas

3 Davidoff laguito No 1

or

1 Hamlet´s Flying pigs (very rare though)

2 Quai D´Orsay Ninfas (extremely hard to find)

3 Fonseca Invictos

I've only been able to read about the Invictos. Have always wanted to see and try one.

You guys are really making it hard to not smoke my Edmundo Dantes 109. I have one in my humi that I was saving for my wedding next year. With it showing up in multiple posts, it's just screaming at me.

I have never heard of the Hamlet Flying Pig. What's the deal with that cigar?

The Flying Pig" is not an official name, but slang for a long discontinued cigar- Punch I believe. Hamlet is one of Cuba's top rollers & will be rolling them as a challenge. Apparently, these cigars are difficult to roll,
