Cigars for my first child

[icehog3]

Nice thing about the Sir Winstons is not only is it a great cigar, but also a beautiful presentation....nice for a special event like this.

I'm gonna go with either a box of Esplendidos or Sir Winstons.

Wait for the 2010 LE's to come out and get one of those with the nice 2010 band on it.

I'd go with something super stout that will age nicely, rather than go bland in a few years time. To fit that bill, look into La Flor Dominicana

Coronado by La Flor
Litto Gomez Diez smokes (super potent, but excellent cigars)
LFD Limitado smokes also
LFD DL Chisel even.

If you plan on smoking these for years and years to come, I would def. look into these.

Oh and congrats man, life as you know it now is OVER, but in the best way possible.

Go bland in a few years? You obviously have never smoked an aged Sir Winston.

Im with everyone on the Sir Winstons

I meant in general terms, wasn't talking about the Sir Winstons at all, and you are right, I have never smoked one. My point was to just advocate getting something, anything, with enough oomph to take well to the aging, if the Sir Winstons fit the bill, then so be it.

very good point and advisement on the "aging potential".

While I love LFD's and Litto's, there is no empirical evidence that NC smokes will age with anywhere near the grace of a Cuban cigar. Strength of cigar has no bearing on its aging potential. However, there is a strong body of evidence that Cuban cigars, even mild marcas such as Por Larranaga and ERDM will shine with 10-20 years of age.
