You win Habanos man of the year. What are you taking?

[El Presidente]

This was a question raised by Gubbins in  this thread . 

Question for you.

"You win Habanos man of the year. You are offered to choose a single box of regular production Habanos that you will receive once per annum, perpetually, as is the tradition. What are you taking?

I think Edward Sahakian won it in 2016 and has been getting a box of Cohiba Lanceros each year, since."

Easy. Party 898 Varnished.

What happens if Habanos discontinues that cigar partway through your lifetime, do they offer another option?

........let me call Diaz and I will come back to you 

[Gubbins]

Cheers Pres. 😎 Would be a toss-up between Esplendidos or Siglo 6 for me.

But I will take the Siglo VI! 

[Chibearsv]

For the newer members that don't already know my permanent selection - Esplendidos. Now, I wonder what Elliot is going to pick? 🤔

[Puros Y Vino]

Cohiba Esplendidos. Of the few I've had, I've absolutely loved them. Can barely find them when they weren't priced like Cocaine. So, If I were to get a box a year on Habanos. This is the one.

There seems to be a "great minds" trend going on in this thread.  😁

Cohiba Esplendidos for me as well.

And I'm certified as hard to please for Cohiba in general so I think my endorsement carries extra weight 😁

After the Siglo VI Ken gave me and many others on Saturday I will have to go with Sig 6. Extremely generous 😇 

[MrBirdman]

Whatever is going for the most on the secondary market, which I will then sell to buy 2-3 boxes of other stuff I like.  If I couldn't sell them, it would probably be Lanceros or Siglo V. Probably the former since the latter are similar enough to Siglo III to do without.

I gotta go with Big Ed. Cohiba Lanceros. Prefer the ring size and longer look.  

[SMELTZ]

Cohiba Esplendidos

RASS 50 cab, my favorite cigar.

The only thing Ken gave out was half bottles of wine Friday (after he drank the other half).

It was good wine 🍷 🫠.  I guess I will change my vote to Esplendidos then. Wait, hang on, I think he may of been handing Espy out as well or was it Lanceros? He did put  a smile on many faces. 🤭

Cohiba Lanceros

Since the HdM Le Hoyo des Dieux is discontinued, it would have to be the very first cigar I smoked all those years ago (and like many others have already chosen), the Cohiba Esplendido.

[chasy]

Hard not to pick an expensive cigar when it’s “free.” That said the cigar I smoked most last year was the Mag 54. Wouldn’t be my pick, but says something about what I reach for.
