Save or Savor?

[GodOfFire]

This is one the my most often discussed topics with my other smoking friends. I hear the "get hit by the bus" logic and I can understand it. However, for me cigars represent good times, as part of a good life, with good friends...

With that I have my humidor sectioned two sections. I have "everyday" smokes in there and I have some good decent smokes of various price ranges. However, my most premium smokes like Opus, GOF, Maduro Hemmingways, Anniversary Padrons... these tend to get saved for my more "special" occasions. This varies for example if it's a nice steak dinner and I want to have a great cigar with a buddy afterwards then it would be something like a VSG or Padron 1964.

Now my wedding later this month, I will probably smoke a GOF or Maduro Hemmingway or one of my special CCs. The rarer the moment the rarer the cigar usually. I also have two very special opus that you are not even able to buy. I have two special moments when I plan to smoke each one of those but they are a little ways in the future.

Each year my buddy has a "Summer Cigar Festival" at his B&M. That will be a special cigar day for me. I will spend quite a bit of time thinking about what cigars i will want to smoke and when. Finding that right cigar for the right moment is part of the fun in this hobby for me!
