[FXAdam]

Don't know what they are yet but figured I'd get a thread up and running while I've got the chance.

[adampc22]

thinking tabboo twist last cigar boli royal corona then cohiba maduro first cigars of 2009

[houdini]

Im working new years eve and new years day so Im going to treat myself!

NYE: Cohiba Maduro Genios
NYD: Tatuaje Reserva SW (Brown Label)

(Thanks Adam...You swayed me on the Cohiba)

[Parrotheadduff]

Last will probably be a small Trinidad while I shovel snow. The first will probably have to wait until the weekend.

[goalie204]

I have no idea, being a newb is hard. Prolly close my eyes and pick!

[taltos]

I don't know the order but there are 4 cigars that are compatible with smoking on my porch in a New England winter;; Padron 1926 #6, Oliva Special S Corona, Oliva Serie O #4 and an Oliva Maduro Special G. All in stock and all ready.:ss

[icehog3]

An '89 PSD4 was likely my last smoke of 2008 on Sunday. Haven't decided my first smoke of 2009 yet, but I will smoke it at the puck drop of ther NHL Winter Classic tomorrow, and it will be good.

[Cyclone]

Probably a '01 Monte A for the last cigar of '08... Not sure for the 1st stick of '09...

[FXAdam]

Turns out my last of 08 was the Boli Simone I smoked on Christmas day lol. Oops. Have to see if I can hit a pair come NYD.

[Whee]

My last of '08 was a Taboo Twist...no smoke tonight. Will have to go through the "gift box" and find a special cigar to smoke for #1 in '09. Need good karma this year...

[qwerty1500]

Last ... thinking it will either be a 99 Monte Esp 1 or a 98 LGC Med d'Or 2.

First ... probably a 06 Trini Coloniales ... really have enjoyed those with my morning coffee.

[Drat]

Last: Already happened unfortunately since it's WAAAYYY too cold out to smoke outside tonight - Gurhka Regent that was pretty crappy
First: Weather dependent, but I'm probably going to smoke a Vegas de Santiago Don Luis H2000

[TideRoll]

Last of 2008: I had a tasty little Habana Sancho Panza courtesy of Tech Ninja.
First of 2009: I've got a Punch Churchill from 1997 I might give a whirl. Or, I've also got some Ashton ESGs that have been sitting for about a year now. I might light one of those to see if they've come around yet.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Haven't decided my first smoke of 2009 yet, but I will smoke it at the puck drop of ther NHL Winter Classic tomorrow, and it will be good.

Same here. I might smoke a monte 4:ss

[icehog3]

Same here. I might smoke a monte 4:ss

Go Hawks! :tu

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Go Hawks! :tu

I hope you did NOT watch the game last night:fl Kane was a target the whole game

[php007]

Last cigars of 2008 were an Avo 77 and a 1970 Partagas 898.
First cigars of 2009 will be on new years day, an Avo LE05 and Boli Beli.

[sikk50]

Sadly due to chapped lips cracking and becoming infected I have already had my last cigar of '08.....a week and a half ago. It was an Oliva G. My first smoke of '09 will probaly be a Warped Anubis

[Mr Edmundo]

Based on the cold weather lately, I might have already smoked my last one for 08. It was an Edmundo, of course.;)
First one for 09??
I'm kind of thinking that Gran Habano Siglo 3, I hear it calling me, taunting me...:ss

[theycallmedan'lboone]

I have no clue.

[DKPRLP]

I'm thinkin cohiba blunt... a big phat one...

[the nub]

I think the last few years, my last cigar of the year carries over as the first cigar of the new year. Maybe a '97 Sancho Sancho this year.

[shilala]

I don't have a clue.
I'm gonna pack up my travel humi real shortly and I'll pick something tonight. :)

[groogs]

My last cigar of 08 was a Hoyo Du Prince I smoked on Saturday evening, because I have been sick since Sunday Morning. I have no idea what my first smoke of 09 will be.

[STYX&STONED]

Last for 2008 = Boli Gold Medal 03/08
First for 2009 = We'll see what I pull from the box sometime tomorrow for the first game kickoff.

[Studebaker]

My last of '08 was probably the Hoyo de Monterrey Dark Sumatra I had last night.

First in '09 might be one of the sticks I picked up in a gourmet store this afternoon that's going out of business (cigars were 20% off today :ss). Could be a Camacho Corojo or LGC Serie R or CAO CX2.

[Smokin Gator]

We are going to a party in our community tonight and I can't decide what to take. I'm leaning toward a Boli CE. Tomorrow I am thinking I might just have to have a Lusi.

[karmaz00]

last one of 2008 probely will be a prodon 1926
as for the first one in 2009, not to sure yet....

[Paint]

last one of 2008 probely will be a prodon 1926
as for the first one in 2009, not to sure yet....Nice choice might be my choice as well...:ss

[Cigarmark]

Don't know what I'll start the new year with as I probably won't smoke till tomorrow afternoon some time, but I finished the year with a good day of smokes. I started today with a Boli PC, followed that with a Boli GM and am gonna finish up with a '99 Le Hoyo Du Roi. Happy New Year all!

[WyGuy]

My last cigar for 2008 was a Boli PC, not sure what my first one for 2009 will be.

[SilverFox]

Ok I lied.

2 boxes of Dip 4's
2 boxes of Raf Gonz PC's

[ChasDen]

Last of '08 - Just fired up a Padron 40th Aniversary 1926 and poured a glass of Chivas Regal 12 year old Scotch whiskey on the rocks.

Have no idea how old the cigar is, the bands almost fall off by themselves :D

1/3 into the cigar and 1/2 way down with the first drink, the full bodied, smooth taste of the cigar is mellowed by the smooth, sweet almost like honey bite of the 86 proof 12 year Oak cask aged malt whiskey.

First of '09 - I have a selection of CC's I have been gifted and been holding out on. Mostly from fear I may like them and god knows I don't need that slope in my life :D

Happy New Year,
Chas

[JPH]

Last was a Cohiba CE from 01
First will be something good for sure... no clue what

[Old Sailor]

Jeremy......Happy New Year bro!!!

[JPH]

Jeremy......Happy New Year bro!!!

Happy New year Saila'

[brigey57]

Greycliff Black Label Espresso; last cigar of 2008. Padilla Miami 8/11 Lancero for my first cigar of 2009!:ss

[M1903A1]

Last of 2008 was an 07 Parti Short. I decided to "celebrate" this year by driving along the old bus route I took when I was working my way through college, ten years ago. Interesting to see how much things had changed, and ponder how far I've come since then. Tossed the butt out the window in front of the building where I worked, as a sort of "parting gesture".

First of 2009...I'm leaning towards having a 1999 Punch RS12 with a friend tomorrow.

[Lee]

Last of 08 was a Por Larranaga Montecarlo.
First of 09 will be a Hoyo Churchill. :ss

[FXAdam]

Pretty wide variety of selections out there. It's neat to see :)

[ashmaster]

Have no idea yet what I will start '09 with, but '08 ended with a "Mi Barrio" and and "EO 601 Black".

[Bruzee]

I smoked a Partagas Serie D #4 through midnight and into 2009.

[AdamC]

I have no idea...if only my memory, and psychic abilities would kick in.

[Smokin Gator]

Last of 08 ended up being a Siglo III. Of course it was plugged like a biotch!!! First of 09 is still looking like it will be the Lusi if it warms up a bit. If not then it is wide open.

[GTsetGO]

Last Cigar - was actually a couple of weeks ago. RP ITC 10th

First Cigar - good question. Will figure it out when I open the humi

[68TriShield]

Partagas Lusi-last
PAM Exclusivo-first :D

[Django]

Last '08 would have been a RyJ Short Churchill, but was way to stressed about my daughter's first new year (and the fireworks that come with it).
So didn't smoke at all last night.

Tomorrow i will probably grab an Oliva "O" Robusto Maduro, which would then be my first '09.

[LkyLindy]

anejo #48

Fox DC

[Mr Edmundo]

Based on the cold weather lately, I might have already smoked my last one for 08. It was an Edmundo, of course.;)
First one for 09??
I'm kind of thinking that Gran Habano Siglo 3, I hear it calling me, taunting me...:ss

So I managed to smoke a Man O' War pyramid. Should have gone with the Siglo 3. It just didn't do it for me. So I turfed it and lit up a cc Por Larranaga Panatella that is still a bit young, but that Cuban taste was there. Mmmmmm

I really should dig up something special to start the new year today.:ss

[bilkay]

2008- Don Pepin Garcia JJ Maduro Selectos
2009- Don Pepin Garcia Blue label Invictos

[14holestogie]

Punch Royal Selection #12 last.

Partagas Mille Fleur today.

[Whee]

My last of '08 was a Taboo Twist...no smoke tonight. Will have to go through the "gift box" and find a special cigar to smoke for #1 in '09. Need good karma this year...


My first was a Hoyo Du Depute. Great little smoke. Nubbed it. Number 2 is looking to be a Romeo y Julieta Romeo No. 1, another gifted stick that has been hanging around my humi for almost a year.

[stevefrench]

My last smoke for 2008 was a Vegas Robaina Familiar and my first cigar of the year was a Cohiba Siglo IV.

[hotreds]

Last '08: 1998 Sancho Panza corona

[icantbejon]

My new years eve was spent driving from Buffalo back home to Georgia. Very enjoyable. So my last smoke of 08 ended up being a Camacho Liberty on the 30th. My first 09 smoke was a Gurkha Black Dragon.

[Clampdown]

My last cigar was a Partigas de Partagas 1, and my first cigar was Edmundo Dantes 109 Mexico Regional...WOW:ss

[WyGuy]

My first cigar for 2009 ended up being a Partagas Serie Connoisseur No. 1. Not a bad way to start off the new year if you ask me.

[Ace$nyper]

Good idea for a thread.

Same smoke for both start and end

end of 08 start of 09 smoke Bolivar Gold Medal. I think I have a fav cigar! I'm told they age well and have some sitting... dunno how long till i break them open lol.

[M1903A1]

First was indeed a Punch RS12 1999, then an Apr 08 Monte 4.

(Memo to self...NEVER AGAIN drink lite beer with a good cigar!)

[TripleF]

My last of 08 was an Oliva O Maduro 6 x 60......man I love those!

My first of 2009 was a Carerra robusto compliments of my good friend - shilala. :ss

PAN Exclusivo to end 08 and a Cohiba Siglo III to start 09 a little after midnight watching the fireworks from nearby Universal Studios.

[Ahbroody]

Last Partagas Church deluxe 01
