Cigars for my first child

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.

Not much empirical evidence that cuban cigars have grace either



wait for it, wait for it....flame suit ON! But seriously, taste is subjective, just offering up an idea.

I agree, but the day I see someone post a review on a 20 year old Arturo Fuente Hemingway will be the first.

Last year I finished the last few of 1995 Padrons I bought way back then, they smoked really well and I only wish I had stashed some more away. As someone who has been aging cigars for quite a long time now, I can only state, WITH empirical evidence, that good, quality Nicaragua smokes, DO age as well as ANY Cuban cigar out there. And given my experience with Nicaraguan cigars I see no reason why any other quality cigar, regardless of region of origin, should not age and develop as well.

If the OP is settled on Sir Winston Churchill, great. But let's not go off tangent and make claims with no basis in reality, or rather, "I heard from my neighbor's second cousin's teacher's father's friend, who heard it from...".

Cigar's power has nothing to do with ability to age.

I might take issue with the "ANY", but that's just my empirical experience.
