Desert Island Cigars

[leafandale]

Ok... You've been exiled to a desert island for some dastardly deed, like buying from Thompsons. But the judge and jury are nice enough to let you take 5 (and ONLY 5) cigars with you. What are they?

Here are mine:

Tatuaje Maravilla
San Cristobal Guajiro
Tatuaje Noella
Montecristo #2
Padron Anniversario Exclusivo Maduro

[kevink868]

Ramon Allones Specially Selected
Bolivar Royal Corona
Nacionales W Churchill
Opus X Double Corona
El Centurion Emperadores

I think.

Quick question...what's the matter with Thompsons? I just recieved their catalog and was tempted to make an order.

Here are mine anyway
CAO Italia
Don Tomas Sun Grown
Rocky Patel Old World
Nat Sherman Maduro Angler
Oliva Serie G Maduro

[smokinj]

Here we go:
La Gloria Cubana Medaille D' Oro #1 Maduro
RASS
Monte #2
OpusX #2
Davidoff Special Series Double Robusto
By the way, Cool Thread!

Marns -

I prefer to bring my business to a local cigar shop. It's also a great way to get personalized service and build a rapport with your provider. My local shop has given me countless free sticks not to mention the discount that I get each purchase.

My five:

1.) La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero,
2.) Ashton Virgin Sun Grown Torpedo,
3.) Arturo Fuente Hemmingway,
4.) Camacho Liberty,
5.) Ashton Virgin Sun Grown Spellbound,

Always good to support your local B&M (of which I am one). And there are dozens and dozens of mail order and internet cigar sites to get great cigars at great prices. When it comes to mail order, Thompson is about the highest priced around. JMHO, that's all. Nice 5 choices, too!

In no particular order:

Camacho Diploma
CAO Brazilia
RP Decade
Oliva V
Camacho Triple Maduro

At least today. Tomorrow, who knows?

Firstly - I think I am going to bring the biggest darn cigars that I can find. La Meridiana makes a monster of a cigar and it is fantastic down to the last sip. If you can hang with the big kids, this is a cigar to nub and feel proud while doing it. Aw what the heck, I'll just take five of those.

[zion698]

Here's my five must haves:

Coronado by La Flor
Camacho Triple Maduro
DPG Cuban Classic
Oliva Serie V
Padron 6000 Natural

This way I cover all the bases by having a little of everything.

I'm with Colin. I"d bring "A's" or bigger. I'd have to do some research to see what there is to complete my list, but an Opus X "A" and a Monte "A" would be on the list. Maybe a Tat RC233.

Squid® would bring five of those HUGE Puros Indios monster cigars. When nobody was looking I'd build a raft out of four of them and use the fifth to make a sail; thusly escaping from Devil's Island... I'd then stay in Costa Rica, wear dark glasses so nobody would recognize me and smoke whatever I liked! <G>
