Fondest cigar memory

[toddster19047]

My fondest memory that included smoking a good cigar was on a sunset cruise in Key West a couple of years ago. A great stick with friends,family and a single malt.
I'm curious to see if anyone else has a "great cigar moment".

I have a lot of a "great cigar moment"...s One of my favorites goes back to high school smoking Hoyo de Monterry #1s with my best friend in a Byerlys resteraunt in Mpls. The two of us smoked these big churchills for like two hours. In hindsight I think were actually pretty rude and I wouldn't do that again since we put like a three foot layer of smoke accross the ceiling of that resteraunt. Still it's a great memory and we have come a long way since then.

Another is having a Punch Punch on the beach in St. Maarten at about 3 in the morning on my honeymoon.

Thats two to start with. This should be a fun thread.

My only cigar I ever smoked with my Dad on his 69th Birthday, after handing him his first Cuban.

Sancho Sanchos on the beach at the first Shack Herf with Da Klugs and DonJefe.

A Taboada on my birthday in Vegas, with a beautiful Cuban blackjack dealer dealing me nothing but 20s and Blackjacks.

Just about every cigar I have ever smoked in the company of another CS Gorilla.

Probably having a cigar with my Dad at deer camp in northern New York while I was in college. Don't remember what kind but it didn't matter. Just sitting there cleaning our rifles and smoking and talking to each other as equals.

That sure says it all.
Also, the SHIT herfs, especially with guests, are never dull and always special.

I saved for several years, sold a few toys and in 1998 my wife and I did a 18 day trip to South Africa for a Plains Game hunt. This was some big poop for a kid who grew up on Hemingway, Ruark and ALWAYS dreamed of hunting Africa.

A few days into the hunt I had the opportunity to sit alone , with my .375 H&H across my lap and smoke a nice cigar while I watched the sky get red as the sun set. In the background I had everything from the whoops of monkeys and the strange chatter of zebras to hearing a REAL LION calling for his ladies!! Out in front of me impala, wildebeest and zebra were feeding. Off in the distance I could see several giraffes with their heads above the trees.

An image I never forgot.

Got to smoke a Punch RS #12 '00 with my youngest son the day he graduated high school. Particularly satisfying as I never accomplished that for myself and it felt good to see my son start out on a better track than I did.
