Rare and discontinued ? That you smoke.

[Wigan]

I had a Trinidad Fundadores from pre 2002 with the old style band from Simon Bolivar which I don't think I am likely to see again

[REASON]

Mine would be as follow:

LGC MdO 1
Caney BF
R.A Bit of havana
R.A Belvi's
Partagas SdC1,2,3
Punch Ninfas
Punch Coronas
ERDM Panetelas Largas

just to name a few.

A trend there Chris [emoji4] I can't wait to get my Med 1's.

[Chanceschmerr]

About 1/3 of my total collection is discontinueds, since Coronas are my favourite size, but it's true that some are ones I smoke, and some are still ones I hoard....

Of course, some of these are in storage back in Canada, meaning that I have to Hoard them by definition until 2016 LOL.

Boli CE - 1 25 Box, HOARD (until I can find a 50 cab)
Boli Corona - 6 singles, SMOKE (can't lay off them)
Boli Demi Tasse (RARE) - 1 box left, HOARD (these are so good but won't ever see them again I think)
Boli GM - 1 box, HOARD (because I want to give them another decade before smoking)
Boli Lonsdale - 6 singles, SMOKE
Boli Inmensa - 7 singles, SMOKE
Boli Regentes (RARE) - half a box left, HOARDing the rest after smoking the first half.
Dip 1 - 7 singles, HOARD until I can find a full box
Dip 3 - A little over 1 box, SMOKE slowly... (too good to leave alone)
Dip 4 - A little over 1 box, SMOKE slowly... (too good to leave alone)
Dip 5 - A little over 1 box, HOARD (these are GONE it seems)
ERDM Corona de Luxe - Half a box, HOARD
ERDM Gran Corona - 1 box, HOARD (because I sent 'em back to Canada)
ERDM Grandes de Espana - 6 singles left, HOARD until I can find more
ERDM Petit Corona - 1 1/4 boxes, SMOKE
ERDM Tainos - half a Box, SMOKE slowly (1 per year)
ERDM Lonsdales - half a box, if I could ever get one to draw, it'd be SMOKE LOL
Upmann Coronas - 5 singles, HOARD
Upmann No. 1 - 3/4 box, SMOKE (so good!)
Hoyo du Roi - 1 1/2 boxes, SMOKE (though I'd like them to have more age to get that candied almond flavour come out)
Juan Lopez Corona - 4 singles, SMOKE (these are growing on me)
LGC MdO No. 1 - 1 box been HOARD for a while, going to SMOKE soon
LGC MdO No. 3 - Ditto
Partagas Corona - Just under a full box - SMOKE 1 per year (among my all-time favourites - would kill for a 50 cab)
Partagas de Partagas No. 1 - 1 single.....HOARD
Partagas Lonsdale - Half a 50 cab left. HOARD unless I can find more. Still upset that Andorra got stripped clean by a few greedy folks.
Partagas Petit Corona - a couple '98s left, HOARD
Partagas Selecci?n Privada No. 1 - 10 left from a box. HOARD for sure
Partagas Serie Connie No. 1 - 2 boxes, HOARD for now.

Partagas Tr?s Petit Corona - I have 1 single. HOARD
Punch Belvederes - 3 singles left - SMOKE
Punch Black Price - 1 single, HOARD unless by a miracle I can find a box
Punch Churchills - 2 singles, SMOKE
Punch Corona - 1 1/4 boxes, SMOKE
Punch Ninfas - Just under a box, HOARD
Punch Petit Corona del Punch - 2 Boxes, definitely SMOKEing these beauties
Punch Petit Punch - 1 1/2 boxes, among my all-time favs, SMOKE 1-2 per year
Punch RS No. 11 - 1 Box, HOARD because I still don't know if I like 'em as much as the RS 12's. Anyone desperate for a box of these?
Punch RS 12 - Just over 1 box, HOARD until I find a few more. Love these
Punch Super Selection No. 1 - 1 cab, HOARD until they have a few more years on them.
Punch TPC - 1 single, HOARD until I get a box here in UK.
QDO Panetelas - 2 Partial Boxes - SMOKE because they are too good to sit on.
Raffy G Slenderellas - half a box, HOARD for sure as they were blockbuster 2002s, so good.
Ramon Allones Corona - a few singles from Fox. HOARD
Ramon Allones 898 - Half a box from Dubai, HOARD for now until I can compare with the new RE from Germany
Ramon Allones Belvederes, 2 left, SMOKE
Ramon Allones Mille Fleurs - 3 left, HOARD because these were so good, need to find more
Ramon Allones Ramonitas - 2 singles left from a trade with REASON, HOARD (so good that I want to find more first)

Sancho Panza Corona - half a box left, HOARD (so good)
Sancho Panza Corona Gigantes - 3 Left, SMOKE
Sancho Panza Molinos - 2 Left, SMOKE
Sancho Panza Sanchos - 2 Boxes, SMOKE 1 per year
Trinidad Robusto Extra - 1 single, HOARD until I can find more for non-UK price
Trinidad Robusto T - 2 Singles, SMOKE

Sheesh, there you go. I left out RE's and LE's as they aren't rare in the same way some of these are.
Clearly, I can hold out a few more years, but unless some of these Coronas start coming back, It'll be a pipe for me within 10 years or so LOL.

I thought I had replied to this post previously? Sometimes it seems half my stock is now discontinued & I will be unlikely to replace it but I intend to smoke all up anyway. I understand the hoarding Arf, but of course the ones you have will eventually pass their best & fade & so won't be the brilliant cigars you remember, forever.

[tippexx]

Firstly .... Chanceschmerr ..... WOW!

My hoarding isn't infinite Si, I don't intend to be a smoker by 2018. I don't have anything like the hoard Chanceschmerr has .... but I do have more RyJ and Party TPC than him!

Thanks man - I've done alright in getting many of my favs, but I sorely wish I had started a few years earlier than I did (2008), so I wouldn't have lost out on all the 2006 corona discontinuations!

My RyJ numbers are...well zero, for a reason - I'm not a fan of most of the line. The exception is a good POW (had only one left, smoked it last month, plugged and tasteless ) and an Ex No. 4 from a 50 cab - an aged one of those leaves me in awe. Smoked my last one last year, and I'm on the lookout for more

Party TPC - I had found a box in Andorra in 2011. I traded a few to friends who hadn't tried or seen them and wanted to, but mostly I couldn't keep my hands off them. So much more characterful than the Party Short, in my book.....

[TonyN]

Why is that tippexx by 2018.
Won't be easy i shoulden't think after years of smoking cigars.

Will be when I hit 70.
Not so many years. I only started smoking cigars seriously in 2008.

Couldn't agree more the Shorts isn't a patch on the TPC.

And looks like I beat you on POW too .... I've 2.

Chanceschmerr, great collection there but doubt you'll find many of those boxes your looking for unless you're prepared to pay big money at auction (the charges really are horrendous). RA Mille Fluers! Never seen them, RA 898's love & wish I had more myself. Enjoy, hope whoever is looking after your stash back home is doing a good job; hate leaving mine unattended for 3wks!

Yeah, tell me about it - I'm okay with paying 10% for Online Whisky auctions, but anything above 10% is profiteering in my book. RA Mille Fleurs are wonderful if you get the opportunity to find some.

I left my stash with an excellent and trustworthy BOTL, I sleep easy at night with my cigars in his hands, not to worry!

Derrek......you're just killing me LOL

Once I'm back in Victoria next year, I've gotta rattle my old Hyundai Tiburon over the Rockies one more time to meet up for a smoke - I'm sure I've got something in my stash to share with you that you don't have!

[tippexx]

Victoria next year .... now, where did I put that Diary!
