Cigar Starting Lineup/Desert Island

[K444HEP]

I thought this might make an interesting thread; the concept is simple. Below are six categories, all we have to do is choose a stick for each. Do expand with an explanation if you wish. Looking forward to seeing what you all choose.

Cigar Starting Line-up 2017

1. Everyday Smoke

2. Quick/Break Smoke

3. Indulgent/Lengthy Smoke

4. Special Occasion/Celebratory Smoke

5. Most Accessible Smoke (imagine you are introducing a friend to the hobby)

6. Most Daring Smoke (something out of the ordinary/polarizing)

Bonus: Desert Island Smoke (if you could only choose one to smoke for the rest of your days)

Good question. I could pick several for each depending on lots of factors but here's my best attempt.

1. Everyday Smoke - Monte Petit Edmundo
2. Quick break - ERDM Demi Tasse
3. Lengthy smoke - Party Lusi
4. Special Occasion - Cohiba Siglo VI with some decent age
5. Most accessible smoke - Epi No1 maybe?
6. Most daring - Anything not from Cuba
Bonus. Desert island - Monte 2 maybe? Such a hard question, just one cigar!

Really like the idea of this, mine are:

1. Everyday Smoke - (aged) Epi 2's could smoke these allll day long

2. Quick/Break Smoke - Upmann HC, closely followed by the RG Perlas

3. Indulgent/Lengthy Smoke - Punch DC, closely followed by the Hoyo DC

4. Special Occasion/Celebratory Smoke - Boli GM's, becoming hard to find but certainly up there with the best.

5. Most Accessible Smoke (imagine you are introducing a friend to the hobby) - Epi 2 again, a perfect place to start.

6. Most Daring Smoke (something out of the ordinary/polarizing) - Cuaba Diademas, its huuuuge!

Desert Island Smoke - RASS for me gives me the most change in flavours over ageing
