CC Holy grail: When push comes to shove, the two CC you would love to smoke just once......or just once more?

CC Holy grail:   When push comes to shove, the two CC you would love to smoke just once......or just once more?

 

Let me set this up 

A.....you may not be able to afford them

B.....you may not be able to find them....or ever see them again. 

C....you may actually hold some precious stock....but you are too afraid to light them as points A & B both apply. 

 

Only two. 

Two CC you would love to smoke just once......or just once more?  

[El Presidente]

I have a recurring dream. Not that one Di, the other one 

12 friends doing a tasting of two cigars that I have only tried a few times in my life. 

1. Montecristo Double Corona Edicion Limitada 2001

2. Cohiba Double Corona Edicion Limitada 2003. 

Lunch would commence at 12pm. Suckling pig and 5 courses prepared by Javier. Possibly start with the Monte.   4 PM we commence the cheese platters, sherry/whisky, rums. Cohiba. 

Both cigars are ones that slipped through my hands originally. I didn't get to see a lot of boxes of either and I made a mistake of not holding onto enough for myself before they ran out. 

They are the two CC that I would love to smoke once more.

PL magnificos. Lauded, highly respected. I tracked a pair down about 8 years ago and smoked the first one 5-6 years ago. Maybe the worst Cuban cigar I’ve ever had. Wind tunnel and wouldn’t stay lit. I have one more but I’m scared to smoke it. Eventually I will though. They can’t both be bad can they?

A Cuban Davidoff. Would prefer the especial no1 the lancero. But I’d love to try one, one day even if it’s over the hump.

I smoked my last Monte DC EL about 6 months ago. Stunning and still had the juice to age even further. I smoked all my Cohiba DC EL I believe in first 5 years so no clue on how that one aged. The two I would love to smoke again are the OR Sig VI and OR BHK 52. Both purchased from Czar!

I’ve never had the fabled Behike. The 52 would have been my choice. Oh my God, I just hade a flashback (it happens to us children of the ‘70’s from time to time.) That was what I asked about at LCDH/Libre in Havana when the response was “you’d have a better chance of finding Punch Sir David on the island.” I got home and googled PSD and it led me here!

5 years later, I got a T-shirt!!!🤣

Never had a Cuban Davidoff either…

[Bill Hayes]

1. Behike 54

2. Cohiba Double Corona Edicion Limitada 2003. 

I think the DC is probably the best cigar I've ever smoked followed by the 2003 siglo 6 and the Cohiba 1966

Those LLN 03 Sig VIs were just incredible. Entire box was 95+ points and impeccable construction. 

[Chibearsv]

Cohiba Sublime - a real one 😁

A silver tube Churchill. I remember them being great. 

[Nevrknow]

Cohiba Medio Siglo. Only if it's like the first one I had. Damn. Best ever and hasn't been matched since. Sent me down the rabbit hole. I have one ( snivel ) left.

Any Behike. Nevr have and probably nevr will. Cest la Vie. No biggy tho, I still have some pretty damn good cigars from some guy down under. His name escapes me. 😂

[HDGSN]

Never tried, never will category…

1. Original release Fundadores

2. Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva

[LizardGizmo]

Two bucket list cigars that remain are:

Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro 2010/2011
Partagas Lusitania in 109 format from 1975

[Rushman]

Cohiba Sublime

Partagas Lusi

that circa 2014 Hamlet roll that I finally smoked last year 

[Ford2112]

I wish I could smoke an original Cuban Davidoff just once 

An original back in the day Churchill when they were special as well. Maybe a RYJ or Winnie.

[BrightonCorgi]

1. H. Upmann Dunhill Seleccion Suprema

2. Don Candido Seleccion No. 500

[wjs]

20 some odd years ago, I was given a Cohiba by a vendor fresh off his first trip to Cuba whilst watching the ponies in Del Mar. It was the first real cigar I’d ever smoked and I remember it being magic. No clue what it was but I’d love a re-do on that one. And y’all make Lusi’s sound great, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to tick that one off someday.

1. The 40th Aniversario Humidor Cohiba Behike
2. The Bolivar Edicion Regional China Distinguido with the special gold band

I had the pleasure to enjoyed the original Behike (3432) on one memorable evening in Shanghai, back in April 20th, 2009. Thanks to a very generous gentleman, Mr. Fred Kiang, Ex-Chairman of Sunrise Duty Free of China, also known as Habanos Man of the year 2006. 

The Bolivar Distinguido was a gift from a very dear friend in Taipei. I took it back to Shanghai with me and waited a few more years, before I smoked it during Chinese New Year break eight years ago.

On a side note, I also had the experience to smoke the initial release of Opus X Chateau d’Reserva. The most pleasurable NC I have ever tasted. 

Funny, now I am thinking of these 3 cigars, they were all gifted to me. Is that a coincidence? 🤷🏻‍♂️

1. A 1982 Cohiba Lancero. From my birth year, and an absolute white whale of a cigar. I have never seen one in person, cant even imagine how much one may cost. But if given carte blanche, and maybe access to Min Ron Nee's humidor I could find 1

2. The OG release of the Cohiba Gran Reserva.

A substitute would be the RyJ Duke. I had one when I first met my wife.

[Li Bai]

1: a 5 years of age Cuban Davidoff 80 Aniversario (I know I'm almost 40 years late)

2: a 40 years of age Cuban Davidoff 80 Aniversario (this I might still have a chance)

[JohnS]

1. Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva Cosecha 2003

2. Cohiba A (Serie A Humidor - A Gran Corona released as part of the celebration of Cohiba's 35th Anniversary)

[Puros Y Vino]

Cohiba DC EL (Managed to grab one, long ago. Can't get myself to smoke it)

La Escepcion Coronas Extra Largas (had two, smoked the ugly one many years ago.  Great smoke)

Don Alfredo Seleccion No 52.  (grabbed two. First one was epic.  Scared to even look at the second one)

[SRH1]

2007 Robisto de Larranaga Asia Pacific Regional

HdM de Deux

 

 

[Phonics]

1. Ramon Allones - Allones Extra EL 2011 - these were the first CC I was ever wanted to buy (wasn't into CC at the time)

2. Cuban Davidoff - just to smell it... I'm not greedy 😅

 

[BrightonCorgi]

How did this tread make it this far without anyone mentioning (I had to keep to 2 picks) Dunhill Estupendo?

[Fugu]

La Flor de Cano Diademas

La Escepción Cazadores Miramar

...my yin & my yang

[Cigar Surgeon]

I would be perfectly content to smoke Esplendidos, La Escepcion Italia 2011s for the rest of my life.
