2nd Annual Thanksgiving "Smoke Your Rare Cigar" Weekend

Brooks W · 11-24-2010, 11:48 AM

Last year, I started a cool event that I hoped I could continue...I was thinking last year that most of us are always waiting for that one day to smoke that one great cigar, but sometimes years go by without it happening...We might keep waiting and waiting and waiting...

So, for the second year, I propose that we have a smoke out over this Thanksgiving weekend (anytime between Thursday and Sunday night) where everyone who wants to participate will smoke one of those cigars they never get around to smoking...either because it is "too rare" or because it has some special meaning to you...

Then, everyone will post reviews or general impressions of the cigar in the comments section of this post...make it as long as you want, but keep it concise

What am I going to smoke? Well, here is what is in store for this weekend...

They are:

* RyJ Romeos (Réplica de Humidor Antiguo in 2008-Only 250 Humidors released World Wide)
* Opus Maduro Robusto (from the Forbidden X humidor in 2002- 0nly 100 Humidors Released)
* Garcia Tampa Clear Havana from the 1920's

Happy Thanksgiving

Sadly, it will be too cold here to do this.

I'll participate! Need to go dig through the bottom of my humidor to find a cigar that I put away to smoke for a special occasion though

Can't remember what I have in that section...I just know they're my special smokes

E.J. · 11-24-2010, 12:12 PM

I'm in!

It's too cold now. I thought it was supposed to be close to 60 today? My a$$, been in the 30's all day!

This sounds fun... too bad I don't have anything rare.

Chingas · 11-24-2010, 01:39 PM

I'm in Brooks. I'm thinking definitely a Partagas 150 A and a Clear Havana I got stashed away.

Not sure about the Ramon y Ramon I got from the 150 humi. Only one I got. Hmmm. Need to think about that one.

11-24-2010, 01:43 PM

i'll see if i can dig anything up for this...is a 160 rare enough hehe...

11-24-2010, 01:46 PM

I've got an Acid One that came in a fancy silver box....my local tobacconist told me it was rare. Hmmm....maybe he meant rare that he sold one. Doh! I've been duped. I shoulda known by the smell

Bax · 11-24-2010, 01:47 PM

That sounds like a kick arse idea... might have to join you on this one

Chingas · 11-24-2010, 01:57 PM

Tim, might? Come on now! Why have the stick if you're not gonna smoke it! No time like the present!

Louistogies · 11-24-2010, 02:04 PM

I've been thinking about this lately. Luckily, the weather out here is fantastic right now. Low 70's. I'm gonna lit up some nice stuff, not sure what yet tho.

I really don't have anything too rare....but I could go for a Viaje Exclusivo Robusto. So perhaps that and an Opus X will do for tomorrow. Hopefully it's not raining if it is the Opus will meet death by fire Friday.

If I am home I am in too. Wife went to the gyno today and it looks like there is a very good chance Thanksgiving will be spent in the hospital as there is a very good chance my wife will go into labor tonight or tomorrow.

Bunker · 11-24-2010, 03:28 PM

Right now it is between a Padron 80 yr maduro and an Anejo 49

11-24-2010, 03:32 PM

I have an approximately 25 yr. old RyJ Prince of Wales, and some almost as old Boli Corona Gigantes... I may do this Friday, if the mood strikes me.

Cheers,
G

RevSmoke · 11-24-2010, 03:33 PM

OK, I'll play. I think I have an Opus that might be ready to smoke - if not, then a Padron 40th.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
