What is your celebratory cigar?

[dazzer]

Wow there are some awesome cigars being mentioned.


Have to say Monte A, Cuaba Diademas and Sancho panza Sanchos are all on my hitlist but perhaps in my naivety/newbishness I see them as a slightly different kind of cigar to a hugely wild celebratory one. I suppose that again is part of the beauty of the cigar world, cigars can be all things to all men

If I could find one, and then if i could afford one I would definitely like to try the monte sublime for a great occassion

I've overdone it on Special Occasion singles and have more than I'm ever likely to have occasions.

My poshest looking NC is a varnish coffin Opus X 'A'. In CC I've ED Conde 54 and RA 2008 Phoenicio, plus most of those which have been mentioned already and a good few which haven't .... but as I say I'm probably never likely to smoke any of them, which in retrospect suggests Monte 4s would have been a better idea.

Monte A it just feels great to hold but I like the taste of the behike better

Bought one ages ago when I was a student, intending to keep it for graduation. One day decided to celebrate something by smoking it. Not sure what that celebration was, but it was a lovely cigar. Very little smoke in the first two inches or so, but plenty of flavour. Built up through the cigar.

Think of it like the 1812 Overture - starts quietly and builds into an earth shattering finale that is somehow grand, elegant and perfectly orchestrated at the same time.

A celebration cigar depends on the person and the event. A cigar you use to celebrate a once in a lifetime event is different than one used to celebrate every Christmas. Everyday celebration cigars are slightly better than everyday smoking cigars. Once in a lifetime event celebration cigar deserves once in a life time type cigars.

Perhaps it's easier to give examples: Having a high day, Monte No 2 Party No2. My celibration smokes have included Cohiba Esplen' '02, in 2008, when I caught my first (& so far only ) 20lb+Pike, birthdays Party Series D No1 '04, New yrs Siglo VI, passing NEBOSH with Distinction Monte DC '01, Paying off mortgage Cohiba DC '03. My 50th Cohiba Piramides LE '06. Wedding Anniversaries ERDM DT '90, 20th W.A. ERDM Pan Largos '70's my last & rare Christmas at home, La Corona Belvederes '32. Got a few other pre-embargo cigars for those extra special occasions yet to come but I do intend to smoke them!

I agree with Sludgie: the Cohiba Sublimes is my ultimate treat . I've a few left but I'm keeping them for Xmas and birthdays etc

Si you ain't half got a good memory!!

[Tomothebuilder]

Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios for me! Needs time and can't be rushed, pretty strong but never had a bad one. Rich and full of dark chocolate!

[Simon Bolivar]

Good memory? No Mate, just a good diary listing every cigar smoked since 2004! Wish I had one that went back further.

Ah Simon, you're the best with ideas and comments

I'm gonna start doing that now! But electronically so I don't need to print out every single picture of the ones I take.

I LOVE that idea of having a certain cigar linked to a specific occasion re birthdays you have party d1 '04 etc loving that list and a cigar from the 30's incredible that organic matter can last so long, regardless of storage, brilliant stuff.

You will have to do a review when you smoke that one so at least we can share the experience in some sense anyway lmao

[POLO]

Partag?s Serie D N? 4 or Bol?var Royal Coronas

[sheppsea]

I don't a specific special occasion cigar - for me part of a special occasion is going in a shop/to the humidor and picking one out 😊 In the humidor at the moment I have a box on Montecristo No. 2s I'm saving
