Bankable, Rolled Gold, cannot fail Cigars.

This list should be forged by your personal experience. Those cigars which with 4-7 years of age have never let you down......EVER!

They need to be exceptional :D

My list would look like this:

Cohiba Robusto.

Partagas Serie De Connoisseur No 3

Punch Super Seleccion No 1

Punch Royal Seleccion No 11

H Upmann Sir Winston

Diplomatico No 3

A great list, Matt. I dearly love the Boli Inmensas and the Party lonsdales, and was tempted to list both, but unfortunately I have had too many plugged, or tight examples of each from 2001. The Monte #1 remains one of my "runners-up", because of a box of 2003's that were bland. Current examples are superb.

And the winner is....................................

Partagas Serie de Connoisseur #1 5

Partagas Serie De Connoisseur No 3 5

Bolivar Coronas Gigantes 4

I'm surprised there were no Cohibas up there and the Boli Corona Gigantes was a surprise to me. The Sir Winny will be my next purchase.
