Last cigar 2008, First cigar 2009

I have no clue.

[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.

[floydpink]

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

last - 01 du roi

first - 99 du depute (friggin amazing)

[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...

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.

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.

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 ). 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.

Nice choice might be my choice as well...

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.

Ok I lied.

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

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

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

Happy New Year,
Chas

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