My lovely wife offered to get me a box for Father's Day. I'm torn with all the choices that I haven't tried yet. I tend not to have the time to smoke the larger cigars. I typically enjoy Robustos, No. 2's, petite Coronas and such. Any suggestions on something that's a bit off the radar that's worth getting a full box. I was thinking Connie 1s or Ramon Allones Specially Selected. I have the following:

 

Montecristo - #2

El Rey Del Mundo - Choix Supreme

Hoyo De Monterrey- Epicure #2

Cohina Behike 52 ( 2 box ) 2010 & 2016

H. Upmann- petit corona

San Cristobal la principe

Picked up a box of Juan Lopez #2 last week in Havana. They are gorgeous and I hear other recent examples follow suit. If you like robustos, you might give them a try.

Since you're already eyeballing RASS I'd say them or PLPCs

I just picked up a box of Bolivar PCs. Although I've heard that recent production can be spotty and it's not a good idea to buy blind, the recent singles I've had have been fantastic. I would completely trust anything from the INT store.

For a special gift box, make it special. Maybe the RA Club Allones? Or one of the other LEs that are out and available now.

For a special Petite Corona, there's still a number of Hoyo Du Prince boxes to be found. Since they've been discontinued it will be somewhat of a rarity soon enough. I've put away several boxes - I love the size and the taste (I love most Hoyos). Add in the cachet of having a box of something that isn't made any longer and you've got a special box. Plus they're quite affordable!

Thanks everyone I'll take a look and see what temps my fingers on this keyboard :)

Given that the Upman Petit Corona's are being discontinued they might be a good choice. They are still available on one of the other main online sites for reasonable prices.

How thoughtful of your wife  :)

The first thing that came to mind for me was the Montecristo No.4, and I like the Partagas short idea as well.

Agree very thoughtful and sounds like an opportunity for some Sir Winnes, Esplendidos or a cab of Lusi's

Yes!  My first thought was: a box? Any box?

I ended up buying a box that's eluded me for years. Hoyo double coronas from the INT store. I'm pumped it's been over 10 yrs since the last one
