Onsto Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 So the story goes that in the closing hours before the embargo on Cuba, JFK had his secretary buy 1200 Upmann Petit Upmann cigars for his own personal stash. So, I guess we know the answer to this question for him. What's your answer - you can make the call and get an unlimited amount of cigars, but it's your last chance and you can only pick one cigar? It's going to be the only one you can smoke from now until eternity...For the purposes of the 'survey' (ahem) I feel we should ignore cigars that are produced in extremely limited editions or are freakishly rare. My answer would be (predictable and unimaginative though it is) the Montecristo #2. A good one is fantastic, and while I don't get through the volume of any of the professionals on the site, I have never had one that was bad, merely a few that were 'average'. It's a forever friend, the labrador of cigars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samb Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 In my limited experience with marques/vitolas, I would opt for the CoRo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Tough call - I'd have to flip a coin between the Bolivar Corona Gigantes and the H. Upmann Sir Winston. There are a few others I could live with as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrink Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 The Serie du Connaisseur would be tempting, but I'll go with the Partagas 898V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrody Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Have to go with Mag46... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Another for the Partagas 898 V. Could cut it in half for a barbarian Partagas Short or as is known around here....a 4 4.5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanceSchmerr Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'd say.....SLR Double Coronas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roughrider Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 in the closing hours before the embargo on Cuba, JFK had his secretary buy 1200 Upmann Petit Upmann cigars for his own personal stash.

Kangaroo495 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'd probably go a Monte 2 also. But would need to be guaranteed that it was a GOOD Monte 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfunkyg Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Although my last box might make me think otherwise I woukd still say CoRo as well. I don't think I could go on in life without her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CigarLouie Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 He could have at least gave everyone warning that it was about to take effect. Did the embargo occur through a majority vote in congress, or as an executive order from the president? I think I am leaning towards a "good" Monte #4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechenman Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 This is a tough call, but upon thinking about it I would go with the Party 898V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahnofstrasse Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Relegated to just one choice it will have to cover a number of areas of smoking pleasure...I'll go with the versatile BBF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
