Are You Saving "Special" Cigars?

[elidog]

I have a few special cigars waiting to be smoked with friends and family or to be paired with just the right drink. Honestly though I like to smoke what I have.

I have 4 Cohiba Habanos' that I have had probably too long. I acquired circa 1990. Supposedly they came 90 miles from Miami. I also have 4 Opus X Serie Robusto 1992. Released in 2006. No special occasion comes to mind as to why I'm saving these, but they are being saved for some special occasion down the road.

I have a box that I keep "special" sticks in that I only go into to add a new piece. Some are things like Opus or God of Fire and some are sticks that are just starting to grow a little ploom. Some cigars are meant to age a little -- like the most recent batches of La Aurora Cien Anos, which were sent out a little young.

I have earmarked the God of Fire for the next time the Redskins win a Super Bowl, but other than that I don't have a particular plan for my collectibles.

Go ahead and send me the God of fire, you won't be needing it.
But don't dog me, I'm a Pirates fan and I'll not save any until they win the world series.

I find myself saving far too many cigars, a bunch for proper reviews, and others for the right occasion. I've actually been re-evaluating my saving scheme recently, and forcing myself to smoke some cigars that I've been saving for no good reason. I guess I'm a bit of a packrat.

I usually save one cigar at least from every box to be smoked at a later date - not special occassions really. I do have some cigars like some Opus X that are one of a kind - or weren't regular production. Some are more or less Novelty - but I plan on smoking everything I have.

Cigar aren't relics! That's a good quote, can't remember where it came from

i actually have been making up occasions to smoke lately... it started on memorial day, and just about once a week we make up a random reason to smoke some of our really good stuff. however, i have a few set aside for the night we land in kuwait.... ibble:

I have an Ashton VSG that's a little more than a year old. Hey! It's Friday, maybe I'll smoke it tonight!

My son's first B-day is 9/26 and I have had a Padron 26 I bought when he was born last year waiting along with a bottle of JD single barrel. It has been an awesome first year so a great smoke and drink will top it off.
