When I am in that situation I usually take 15 sticks so I can choose... but since you said five:

Party Short
DPG Blue corona gorda
Monte Especial #1
Partagas de Partagas #1
Tat East Coast

That would give me some variety in strength and time to smoke.

I go to a pastor's conference for 4 days - will probably be able to smoke 3 cigars - so I bring a dozen.

I would be happy with that list ANYTIME!!!

0002S · 01-24-2010, 07:29 AM

I took a quick look to see if there was commonality between the choices.

Over 3 picks:
Party short
Siglo VI
Monte Esp #1

There are quite a few UP Cab 46/48/50

Other than these the choices are all across the board.

I actually deal with this problem every week. I travel Mon - Thu, just about every week all year. I usually fill the 5-ct humi with whatever strikes me as interesting at the time on Monday morning. Sometimes it's the good stuff. Sometimes it's the everyday sticks.

Regardless, they are enjoyable after a long day.

Well, I just did this "sort of" on a little vacation I took. In the travel humi were....
LADC EE #5
Illusione 88
Don Carlos Double Robusto
Opus X Robusto
Alec Bradley Tempus TN

Think that was it...could be missing something. Had multis of each stick(I was thinking 2-3 sticks a day).

Reasoning....it was what I had in the humi.... If I did it again, I would be happy to take the same thing....

Bring what you like best at the time.

BUT:

1. You cannot guarantee your meal before. (ex. It could be McDonald or a great Steak)

2. You cannot guarantee your drink with the cigar.

QUESTION:

What 5 cigars do you bring with you? What is the reasoning of the 5 choices given the parameters of the problem?

OK, the problem is your limitations.

RevSmoke · 01-24-2010, 11:29 AM

OK, so I'll play once nicely.

These are all things that I can smoke in the time constraints, as I usually savor my cigars and so they often run longer on burn time than many others.

Oliva V Lancero - great anytime, and goes with most foods.
Oliva Connecticut Lonsdale - I'm really grooving on these lately, and they fit well with most of the beverages I'd enjoy sans alcohol, and many that I'd enjoy with.
Taboo HSG Robusto - Great cigar, anytime.
Montecristo #4 - Goes with anything.
Cruzado Avalitos - (of course this would mean I'd need to pick up a couple more)

01-24-2010, 11:34 AM

I would go with:

Kristoff Maduro
Partagas Serie D#4
Bolivar Royal Corona
Rocky Patel Edge
Diesel

kgraybill · 01-24-2010, 12:25 PM

I would take

Two Punch Rare Corojo Rothchilds because they go well in any situation.

One Padron 64 Principe natural.

One Camacho triple maduro 11/18. Great smoke as well as a conversation piece.

One Padilla 68 torp. Why not.
