Chose this as the one I had chance to smoke was fantastic and I'd welcome the opportunity to smoke these on a regular basis. Cabinetta was also a great smoke but Lonsdales over Robustos I say! WOOOHOOOO - !!! BIG dreamer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diabolicalpherpher Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I’m pretty new to the CC game but my current favorite marca is the H Upmann and favor the corona size. So I’m gonna go with the Upmann #3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikB Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Because of nostalgia... and the fact that I can’t get them anymore.. and wouldn’t be able to smoke them when on a pub crawl...

zeedubbya Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'm not saying I'd win but I'm a mod so I excuse myself from the competition but I need to post this. Someone else posted the Dunhill Malecon, once of the best cigars I've ever had, and in great company. But for me, for one cigar since the 1970s, the old style Partagas Lusitania, as it was until 1976. I like Lusitanias now but they're slightly too long. 50 rg and 10mm less in length, close to a perfect cigar for me. Here's one from 1972 beside a much younger version. [mention=3053]Ryan[/mention] is so right with 109 being the perfect size. And if he can’t enter....I’ll enter on his behalf... Second (or one of my own creation) would of course be the BCE. [mention=5942]boosted[/mention] turned me back on to them,[mention=6855]nonameno[/mention] graciously helped me get some, and[mention=79]pigfish[/mention]....well he sent me this picture to just stare at every now and again...haha.

WhiteMamba Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 As others have said and posted pictures. The LGC no2 would be my choice. It’s a great size and the flavor profile works for all occasions. I wish they were still available why couldn’t they have left those and took the no4s? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigy Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I fortunately haven't been around the cc game long enough to encounter something I treasure, and then watch it disappear. However, I was gifted a 2003 hdm Des dieux recently. The best cigar I've ever smoked. Then I did a pay it forward on some hard to find pipe tobacco. This was waiting for me today. 5 more 2003 Des dieux. Glorious! I wish I could find them today knowing they will turn into this with some age.

GasGuy82 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 So @El Presidente, is it the PL Magnums or Partagas SdC #3 for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 PL Magnums for me. Here is a review from Andy http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/topic/120569-por-larranaga-magnum-1977/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Some great choices here - Partagas SdC line, discontinued coronas, Bolivar CE, etc. I don't have experience with the '70s or '80s "classics".... The first cigar that came to mind for me was the Partagas de Partagas No.1. I thought that it shared the traits of it's family, but was just a little smoother, more bready, if that makes sense. Every one was a joy to smoke, and I'd have no problem with an infinite humidor full. Side note, with no animosity - I think when the HSA fairy metamorphoses into the Cuban cigar fairy, we'll be in better stead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SigmundChurchill Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Dunhill Cabinetta for me. In the 90s I used to buy singles when I could find them, and each one was better than the next. I remember them tasting so nutty, with coffee and cream flavors. I would love to be able to buy them again. If I was to include non regular production cigars, I loved the cigars from the 1492 humidor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engineer99 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I fondly remember some RyJ coronas from around 2007 that were absolutely stellar....Super fruity and intense with leather and wood. There were also some custom rolls the shop offered that were also off the charts....A Salomon from that place was easily one of the top 3 cigars I've ever smoked. Mild, but packed with tea and cream with stone fruit and dank earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RijkdeGooier Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 May these two last for evermore On top the most excellent of complex, creamy and smooth but full flavored cigars the Cohiba Reserva 2003 Pyramide. If silk would taste of full flavoured and complex Cuban tobacco. At the bottom Santiago 500. Silk meets velvet and alcohol. Together simply sublime?? A lifetime of both would be highly appreciated Btw this picture was taken next to that €100.000 humidor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
