EAR: CC Poker. What hand are you holding.

[El Presidente]

EAR = Email Assistance Required

 

This question came up in an email yesterday. People have time on their hands. I have paraphrased simply because I had to clarify the question in several mails. 😉

"If you were playing say Cuban cigar poker, 5 cards. You have thrown out your discards and are holding three of a kind and of course two more. Each card represents a Cuban cigar and of course you are holding three of the same cards. Let’s say that cigar would be your core cigar that you would smoke 60% of the time.  The other two cards represent the only other two cigars you could rotate in.

What would your hand look like Rob?

Let me kick off  

 

Right now and from the hip. 

 

Three of a kind:           Punch Punch 

Card 4                         Juan Lopez Number 1. 

Card 5                         Quai D'Orsay Corona.

Ooh...this is a good one. At today's values I'd go with the following:

Three of a kind: QdO Corona (great minds, I guess...) but pre-2016

Card 4: HdM Epi Espcial

Card 5: RyJ Churchill

This is also shooting from the hip. The last one even surprised me. It was a toss up between that and Monte Especial (just the two first ones that popped into my mind first for the last one).

Hmmm...

Three of a kind: Bolivar BBF

Card 4: Cohiba Robusto (because why not?)

Card 5: Good Upmann #2, Monte #2, or Diplo #2

Had the price not gone through the roof PP might have made the top spot but I only have around 10 left and will find it hard to be able to buy another box at today's prices whereas my 2019 PLPC cab is smoking amazinly right now and I feel like I can't go without them.
