Show us your most prized cigar(s)...

[JE3146]

I know in each of your humidor you have that 1 or more cigars that you'll never touch or are saving for just the right occasion...

Show us some pics and tell us some stories.

I'll even go first.

Some of you may remember this. Others may have no idea.

This little box of cigars is what keeps me functioning after working for 72 hours straight with no sleep in a lab at school. Or having to leave my fiance at 10pm at night to go to a study group. Or waking up that extra hour early before a test. It's the box that has nearly turned my entire college career around.

This box was given to me by my good friend Shawn (SilverFox). It was custom made by Scott (Shilala) for the 3 cigars it contains. The first (bottom) is to be smoked when I graduate college. The 2nd is to be smoked when I'm married (this July). The third (top) is to be smoked when we have our first child (Not happening for a while :r ... knock on wood).

Sadly the 2nd will likely be the 1st to be smoked, and sadistically the one I'm looking foreword to smoking most is the Cohiba, even though it'll require a kid in exchange for it's fiery death. :r The God of Fire will have to wait until Spring 2010. A year from this coming spring.

[GrumpyOleTroll]

I dont have pics....but did want to comment on that box again!



Hell of a gift from one HELL OF A GUY to another GREAT GUY...good luck #2






Shawn

[SmokinApe]

That is a sweet set of cigars...

Here is one of mine, it's a 1930's era White Owl I won in a contest... I have no idea when I will smoke it... It's the one on the left... the middle one is from the 40's and the right from the 50's...

Old photo, but still a nice present from a good overseas distributor. Still have the 'A' and Esplendido waiting on a special day.

Wow, mine really isn't as great as all the previous cigars, but it's special to me. It's a Padron 64 'A' that my fiance bought for me last year for my birthday. It's still sitting on top of my humidor. I'll probably smoke it this Christmas unless another cigar catches my eye. :ss

Very cool. I've never seen a pic of one of those.

[perogee]

Currently, I would consider these my most prized
http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showpost.php?p=112884&postcount=39
I think that these have had the most meaning for me

[Heliofire]

These are 5 I would consider, The Sunkist clear "Havana clear" in the foil is from 1910-1917, the second one was a very nice gift, both from lenguamor. The Forbidden X was also a gift, The Casa Fuente is from when I got married in Las Vegas, and the BTL I found a few weeks ago and is something that I have been wanting for years now. I just love collecting rare cigars. I also was lucky enough to find a box of Davidoffs at a B&M from the 2004 RTDA retailer dinner.

mmm, my prized sticks would be 3x 1958 pre embargo partagas churchill tubos. I'll post pics later :)

[alfbacca]

Yeah, I never knew Padron made an 'A' size until she gave it to me. At the time I honestly thought she was giving me a fake cigar :r

[elderboy02]

Hmmm..... Right now I don't have any rare cigars, but I do have an Illusione culebra that is pretty cool. I also have some Tat Blacks. :)

[barbourjay]

still waiting for my b&m to get me the other two bundles he promised. this has become one of my all time favorite cigars.

I love all my cigars equally. Asking me to pick favorites is like asking a father to pick his favorite child. It's just not going to happen. :ss

Very cool gift and I really like the custom box. Like how each one has a goal set to it.
alfbacca, don't sell yourself short. That's a pretty great group of smokes you got there. I am just amazed at Barbourjays collection of Blacks. Holy cr@p, stopping at that B&M would need to be part of my daily routine if they treated me that well.
Great pics and great groups of smokes fellas, keep em coming.

[gettysburgfreak]

Mine would be an 06 Opux X Perfection #2 to smoke when my book gets published and an 03 Monte #2 when I get a career.

The Forbidden X is a great cigar. And the band, I love the colorway.

[JohnnyKay5]

I have a National Club Mild Habana reported from 1926 still in its foil. Got it in a buy from a good BOTL. It is my returning from Iraq smoke which will be eliminated here in the next 10 days or so!! Sorry no pics, I have 2 more which will be smoked in the future for some unknown event but if you can find one please post.

FCk you to! :D

Mine all have little white bands with my scribbles on them denoting who gave them to me. The other ones vary from ok to great cigars but don't fall into the "prized" category.

Right now mine will probably have to be the two Tatuaje Franks that Zmancbr was nice enough to allow me to acquire. Was planning on smoking them with my brother when he came down for Thanksgiving but the few days they were here were were just a little too crazy to be able to go sit outside and smoke them. I do hope to bring them with me when I go back to Long Island for Christmas and hopefully since we will be back a week we both will find the time to actually sit and enjoy them.

Just sharing the love... I definitely didn't need as many of those as I was able to get and I was more than happy to share. A few of the guys here have tried them and said wonderful things about them so far so I am excited to fire one up soon...:D

As for my rarest cigar(s) I will post a pic next Tuesday of my meager stash of good stuff. :tu

My most prized cigars don't have pics, because they have already been smoked with friends.

Acceptable answer ;)

[TomHagen]

Those Cohiba Sublimes are one of my all-time favs... I only had one once.

[landhoney]

Acceptable answer ;)

Not for me. ;)

[DrDubzz]

I have a Siglo VI that I plan on smoking for pharmacy school graduation. although I'm sure many cigars will be smoked in honor of graduation.

While it's not rare, it's unaffordable to me, so I figure by waiting until graduation, I will be able to buy more, more quickly, if I like it.

I also have a 6 year old Anejo Shark my friend Jason (JaVeCa on here) gave me last christmas. Not sure when I'll get to that one.

[JE3146]

Not for me. ;)

Tough crowd!

Guess we gotta know what the hog's most prized cigar is :D

[icehog3]

Acceptable answer ;)

It's the only answer I've got, Jordan! :D

Look forward to my first herf with you someday. :)

[icehog3]

Not for me. ;)

That I haven't smoked yet? Hmmmmmmm....

Maybe a Monte Dunhill that was bought with money that went to the Springfield IL Boys Club....the price I paid will hopefully help make somebody else's day a little better. :)

[landhoney]

a Monte Dunhill that was bought with money that went to the Springfield IL Boys Club....

Does the Boys Club know it is being sponsored by illegal cigar money. :r Or were these pre-embargo? Maybe I'm missing something, not that I object, just strikes me as funny. They're shirts have all the sponsor logo's on the back....and there's the dunhill logo. :r

If this doesn't make sense I will say it 2:45 in the AM my time. :sleep: I'm sleep posting. Sorry for being off-topic, but I/we did get Icehog to actually answer the question. ;)

[JE3146]

Would enjoy that very much :ss

Figure I'll bump this one back up top for kicks :ss:

[SmoknTaz]

Thanks for the bump, I love POpcoRN!!! :ss

[karmaz00]

verty nice guys. some awesome sticks

[Bax]

Not most prized but i can guarantee! I will NEVER smoke it heheheheh

HEY! If you don't need it then let me know I'll have something to swap ya for it:ss

about three months ago, i bought this cabinet off craigslist. killer price. when the guy dropped it off, all of what you see was in it, no charge. http://s993.photobucket.com/albums/af60/corkthief/?action=view&current=IMG_0436.jpg
does anyone recognize the make of cabinet?
these came with the big box. http://s993.photobucket.com/albums/af60/corkthief/?action=view&current=IMG_0377.jpg Davidoff La Habana Clube No.1 from Geneva in the mid 80's. They have what Paul Palmer called an "inverted pigtail". I haven't smoked one yet.

Here's my most prized cigar.
Opus X forbidden X (http://www.vitolas.net/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=130) a fairly rare cigar. I am kinda pleased it made it to Vitolas.net under the rare cigars section. That doesn't happen every day.

Where the boxes in it full?

[LasciviousXXX]

Same answer as the Hog. I don't have any prized smokes as I usually smoke them first when I get them and save the reg production stuff for later :D

Had some of the best smokes of my life with my BOTL's and SOTL's from CA :tu

[mhailey]

In my family we smoke Marsh Wheelings (http://www.broadleafcigars.com/wheeling.htm)for each birth, and for each wedding. (I think they have just raised the price of these sticks to $0.89 each) When my daughters were born, I bought a couple boxes to celebrate their births, and I have about 30 of them left over. I am saving them to smoke when they get married. I can't wait to celebrate their weddings by smoking a stick from the same boxes I purchased to celebrate their births.

Other than these, I will smoke any of my other cigars for almost any reason.

[Robert Mabona]

everything was full except the monte "A"s and Lusitanias. 10 sticks each.

:confused:
I am by no means an expert but I have not seen before the "La Habana Clube" on a box of Davidoff cigars. Usually, it says La Habana Cuba.

Hopefully, the real FOGs here can shed some light on this?

I would be interested in the answer too. I've tried to research it and found nothing and I too have never seen this but I am just a novice. I would like to see more pics of the box.
