TankerT Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Question for all the gurus out there. When my son was born in 2008, I bought two boxes of cigars with date codes for his birth month. (Siglo II and the Monte 2008 LE) The general thought was to save them until 2026 when he is 18 and enjoy some with him. I admit... it was just a whim... Any thoughts on if these will be smoke-able then? (As in will still have flavor.) They're in my tupperdore in the basement, which is at a good temperature, and humidity, which I check regularly as it also holds lots of other HA goodies.
CohibaBehike Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Yes Yes Yes! I would think the Monte's would smoke extremely well at 18 years.
HabanosHoser Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 What a novel idea. I'm sure it will make for a very memorable moment. Post back here to let us know how it went!
Ghabanos Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Great idea. I might just do the same.. Just curious - what did you buy?
CBL Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Great idea. I might just do the same.. Just curious - what did you buy? I'm guessing Siglo II and Monty Sublimes Anyway love the idea! Been planning on doing the same if and when I have kids of my own. Ideally, like you, I'd try to get a box from the same month they were born in Boxes like that will have unmeasurable sentimental value, regardless of how well the cigars smoke at the time you smoke them with your kid. But one could assume the Sublimes will age pretty nicely! I think the Siglo's aging quality depends on their current state.

bc8436 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 You know ... you only really need 2 of each when he turns 18 ...
bob25 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 You know ... you only really need 2 of each when he turns 18 ... But 25 of each is better
TankerT Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 Well... out of the box of Monte Sublimes... there are only 8 of the 10 left... :-) The Siglo II box is inspected every few months for mold, etc. But, otherwise intact. I bought 2 boxes of the Siglo II, but the second box... which was not from his birth-month, but the following month... has been smoked. They were all quite good, except for every other cigar had a burn issue. Not a bad one though.
riazp Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I did the same, two boxes of Trinidad Ingenios LE DIC 07
thechenman Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 I also went with this idea for my daughter's birth as I wasn't smoking cigars when my son was born. Went with a 50-ct cab of Partagas Lusitanias...
