Christmas/Holiday smokes

[bruceolee]

So what's your Christmas/Holiday (hate using the term holiday on Christmas) Smoke? For NC I'm thinking an 04' Forbidden X & an 04' DCM Pyramid #3 from the limited release humidor. For CC a 01' RyJ Robusto LE, 07' Diplo #, and maybe a couple more but I haven't decided on the rest yet.


Just curious what you're planning and this includes everything. NC, CC, Pipes, and so on.

[pnoon]

I don't plan my cigars.
When I have an opportunity to smoke, I decide then.

[thebayratt]

Im planning on my usual Anejo. This year will be a 3 or 4 year old Shark

[kelmac07]

Viaje Holiday Blend (every year)

[JenksAnejo]

Viaje Candy Cane

^ This.

[AdamJoshua]

i would have to say I plan on smoking something I like, if I light something and don't like it, I'm going to pitch it and try again, that's about the only plan I have and it's year round. :)

Rock on!

[Porch Dweller]

It'll probably by a T52 or an Anejo.

[MrClean]

I generally don't plan my smokes. If I get a "unique/expensive" stick, I might save it for a special occasion. But this year since my Secret Santa got me a T52 Pig, I might just smoke that. Or I might save it for when I go to the B&M and can enjoy it in a warm place.
So in other words, I make no plans :D

[mahtofire14]

Don't usually plan it out either but was thinking of smoking one of last years' Anejos or my only Monte #2 that I've been drooling over for 4 years.

What Peter said

[pektel]

I'll tell ya as soon as I pick something from the humi on Christmas.

I don't think I've ever headed to the humi with a specific cigar in mind. Well, I did when I was VERY new to the hobby. Now my only thought when heading down to the vino is "time for a cigar!"

I wish I had a more exciting answer to give.

I made a mistake an gifted my last one....:confused: Good suggestion Mac.

Normally I don't plan anything but there have been a few smokes that have been sitting in my humi's too long and this year I'm planning on smoking a few. I don't believe you have to have a special smoke for a special occasion but a special occasion always deserves a good smoke no matter what it is. So, it's time to say goodbye to a few hopefully good smokes for the holiday

[dijit]

I am in agreement with PNOON. I dont preplan my smokes. I check my spreadsheet and notes to see what fits the occasion at the time of the occasion. That being said I do have some with a little age that are of respected origins and one of those will be consumed this week.

[RWhisenand]

I don't normally pre plan either, but this winter has been colder then normal, and I haven't smoked near as much. Being so I have been pre planning my smokes more, I also have a Monte #2 which I received from Jeff Which might make a good Christmas Day smoke.-(P

[Sweet_Leaf_PDX]

I always have a Short Story Maduro or two around the holidays. It is a nice treat and the smoking time ends up being about exactly how much time I have to escape for a cigar :D

exactly! i usually end up with one in the morning with coffee and another in the evening after it's all over :)

I agree. I may open a tin of Christmas Cheer from some time in the past, but that isn't even a guarantee. I used to get two tins every year, up until 2008, at which point I have only been getting one a year. I have one tin from every year except a couple since 2000. I have opened and smoked through all the tins from before 2000. 1994 was absolutely the best so far - it was white with sugar crystals.

Do not even know if I will even get to have something to smoke on Christmas Day. Had 4 cigars at Titletown for the Christmas party on Friday. It was the first cigars I had in about 3 weeks.

[DirtRider500R]

I don't usually plan either, I just get the thought of "I feel like having a (insert stick name here)." Though I do think I will be having one of my last Casa Magnas to celebrate.

[Col. Kurtz]

I like to plan ahead so I can dry box before hand. On deck are a Boli CJ while I watch Santa assemble bikes. I've laid out a 98 Punch Corona gifted from a friend to enjoy while the kid's knees heal.

Edit to add. If I don't decide beforehand, I'll stand at the cooler like a cow looking at a new gate. Sometimes I just can't make up my mind....

[CoffeeWaterBeer]

Not positive but among the casualties will be a cro magnon. Those suckers are taaasty

I liken it to a 3D picture, If I stare long enough something pops out at me and other times I stare so hard I go cross eyed, get a headache, and walk away looking for the tylenol :)

[danreeve]

whatever my wife buys me as a gift :)

and she has good taste.

[RWhisenand]

Started with this, Christmas Eve with my coffee, complements of Seth, Coffeewaterbeer.

[RobR1205]

Tonight it was a well aged Fuente Opus X No. 4 with a Guinness Extra Stout...amazing combination of strength and flavor from both!

[Remo]

Just about finished with family stuff, then home for a Cohiba!

[DirtRider500R]

Realized I'm probably not gonna have time to smoke tomorrow, so I lit but my second to last Casa Magna (Gran Toro) tonight.

[tsolomon]

Had the family over for dinner last night and the wife and I smoked a RASCC after they left. :tu

[badbriar]

First one will be something in the humi that I haven't had before... Maybe a Cromagnon. :D:D

Hey now that's my '06. My '13 is just getting broke in, although I'm thinking of sending off my suspension while the weather is crappy! Have a great Christmas Eli!

[CigarSquid]

There is a lounge here to keep me covered.

[Dude Here]

Starting the day with a LFD Jocko while watching the kiddos play in their new sandbox.

[14holestogie]

Went downstairs, opened the singles drawer, and an H Up Mag 48 told me he was tired of being ignored. :)

[Partagaspete]

So far I had a Macanuda 45 Aniversario estate reserve my wife gave me for Christmas stocking stuffer. Not sure what I will smoke later with my whisky...

Merry Christmas all.

[CoffeeWaterBeer]

Nothing yet, too much going on :/ between family visits and the 3 month old it's tough sneaking out

[EricF]

Tat Barclay Rex with coffee this am, then a '13 Parti Short on the way to the movies and now a Trini EL 2010.

Now what to smoke after dinner????????

[CoffeeWaterBeer]

Got in a My Father cedar wrapped. Had to sit in my car due to cold. Probably should have been more careful and not spilled half a beer in there... I'll need to clean tomorrow before driving anywhere.

[kelmac07]

Got around to enjoy a '09 Viaje Holiday Blend (OR) after dinner. :dr :dr :dr

[Dude Here]

Round two for today. Anejo 46 from 2008.

[Catfish]

'12 AF 49. Was most excellent.

[longknocker]

AF Hemingway Signature!:tu:)

[Tio Gato]

Had a very young Opus robusto while walking the beach with Mrs. Kitty. Lots of pepper to get the taste of a crappy Christmas dinner out of my mouth.:td

[Ashcan Bill]

I seldom even know if I'm going to smoke, let alone what I'm going to smoke until I find my hand reaching for something. As things worked out, I had time for a single lonely cigar on Christmas. A Choix Supreme. It made me very happy. :D

[RobR1205]

Smoked a Monte 2 with a glass or two of some very enjoyable scotch for Christmas!
