I am a collector, but I don't have any that won't eventually be smoked, whether by me or someone else.

Squid will *NEVER* die of course, but just in case... I've left a will that I be CREMATED with every last one of my cigars... <G> A final one-man-herf to send me on my way so to speak.

I have a Padron '64 "A" and a honkin' big Anejo that I'm saving for "some" special occasion which is yet to be determined.

However, I DO have 3 GOFs that I'm saving for:
  • My daughter's wedding
  • The birth of my first grandchild
  • Our 30th Anniversary, when we renew our vows.

I have one cuban left in my old man smuggled in from Canada about 10 years ago. He had 3 in his humidor when he passed away 3 years ago. I smoked one the day my son was born, one the day after my mom died a couple months ago, and will have the last one when my next child is born.

I can't actually put that in the will, as Squid Junior is gonna inherit "The Collection" after I'm gone. But if I didn't have a son, I'd put it in my will, just to keep Spanky & Our Gang from trying to crash my funeral... <G>

I was recently gifted an Ashton VSG that's getting put to the flame in about one year when I graduate with my PhD.

I have other special ones in the humi waiting for special times, like my 10 year anniversary with my girlfriend, which is in about 3 weeks (no, we're not married yet, but we might as well be married... I'm just not in the financial situation currently to put a nice ring on her finger and do the wedding right the first time).

Nice poll idea!

I have an Opus X that's been aging in my humidor for 2 years I plan on smoking it on my 2nd anniversary in October. I have a Padron 40th that's waiting for a special occasion as well as some unmentionables.

I have a few unmentionable cigars; along with some AF Anejos, BTLs; Padron Anni/1926; and LGC Limitada and Tatuaje Cojonus that I'm saving for VERY special occasions..
(A little rest couldn't hurt them either).
