What's the rarest cigar that you have, either in terms of absolute rarity, or in terms of what it means to you personally?

Do you ever plan to smoke it, or is it more interesting to you as a singularity or for its sentimental value.

A good friend of mine gave me not one but three Davidoff Diademas. I've smoked one and the other two will also be burned in tribute to the tobacco gods.

While I have a ton of one ofs and rarities, these are special since I was unable to get any and I haven't seen any made available since their release!

[siriusstoogie]

Dunhill Seleccion Monte#2 (good and mellow but not earth shattering, IMHO)
Padron Family Reserve 44th (Spectacular, IMHO)

[lz6]

Cuban Hoyo "B" special release from the late 70's. Compliments of a great member here in a MAW/PIF.
I will smoke it.............not certain when though.
Sorry but I don't know who to give credit to for the photo...............but whomever you are here's your credit.....

[Edman]

I had a Davidoff Dom Perigon and smoked it on my official military retirement date.

No, my name is Mart Black, thank you very much.

For me, I'd have to probably be the "Jackson Russell Welch" cigars, for obvious sentimental reasons (and I get to smoke one of them soon, Jack's birthday is coming up on 11/24!!)... and then probably the Opus X Boa Constrictor, just because it's so weird.

I have some fairly rare Habanos, but none or singular or have such sentimental value.

[buzzed]

I don't have much to speak of...maybe an OR Anejo 55...yeah I know, pretty weak.

[yeahthatsme]

I have a Van Dyck perfecto from 1929, I guess that would probably be up there. Most of the other rare stuff I have has been smoked/given away at this point, I don't hold onto stuff like that really. I'll probably never smoke this one though, it's surely past it's prime, just a neat novelty.

[Norton]

A Don Carlos Sr. blend with SG wrapper. I will be smoking it on Jack's Bday as I lit up the Jack tribute cigar the day I got it in the mail. LOL

[rmm]

I am not a collector....If ia diod not give my ciagrs away, I smoked them including an Inbetween the lines and a chilie Pepper, even the two Monte 2's from the 70's

If I get my hands on anything collectable, I usually reach out to the collectors to see fi they want them

[alwayslit]

Bahia Gold A

[Mr Robusto]

I have a Partagas Culebra that was gifted to me by JCL, about 6 or 7 years ago.

A guy came into a local cigar shop a few years back. It was shortly after the fall of Baghdad to the allied troops. The guy brought with him a box of double lanceros that bore a band with the name Uday Saddam Hussein. He claimed that he was in a special ops group that had found the cigars in one of the presidential palaces in Iraq. He said he wanted the shop to store them for him in its walk-in humidor until he decided what to do with them.

A friend of mine was in the shop at the time and took pictures. Most of the cigars were pretty torn up.





My friend offered the guy $100.00 for one of the cigars, and the guy accepted. Some months later, my friend was transferred from Norfolk to San Diego. Not wanting to carry the cigar with him across country, he gave me the cigar at his going away party.





Here's a photo of the Hussein brothers enjoying a double lancero.

Wow!

[Norton]

Jesus Christ - Donna's legs look better than those cigars.

[terrantheman]

Pretty cool cigars Van!!! My rarest cigar that I have has been smoked. I have a cigar that a friend gifted me and 06 esplendido that he asked that I smoke at his funeral. As far as sentimental that cigar means a lot to me and barring me going first I will honor my friends wishes.

[CRQuarto]

I have a single pre-castro RyJ that a kick ass botl gave me a little while ago. Sucker is burning this week for my birthday smoke.

Did somebody say what what in the butt??

[MiamiPadronSmoker]

I smoked a Custom Cohiba Perfecto



I smoked a Don Candido



and I have a Dunhill Estupendo that I will smoke soon. Every cigar I have or will acquire will hopefully be smoked. I love trying different cigars. I still have some Custom Trinidads left as well.

Dude, I really hope those are legit, cause that is just too f'in cool. Great story. And I have to ask myself, who the heck counterfeits double lanceros????? Very cool.

[fordjustom]

Carlos III perfecto bitches!

[Fuck Face]

A grape philly blunt!

[GTU]

A BTL that I was gifted back in 1998. Just waiting for the right time.

[stepthirteen]

I have some Cuban Hoyo "B"'s, Don Candidos, H Uppman Culebras, but two that are very special are my Opus Perfecxion #2 Maduro and Opus Football.

Jim

[FlyFish]

I have one I'll bet none of you have.

An El Sol lancero from 1994. I bought a box in Tampa when my Son was born and I still have one. Norton can vouch that they aren't very good so I may have the oldest one in existence. It might be worth about 2 dollars but I'll bet you a 15 year old El SOl lancero is a pretty rare cigar. I always figured I'd smoke it on his 21st birthday or let him have it of he is interested.

[JxBr]

One of the rarest I have and had is a 1970 Punch Punch that my good buddy gave me. It's from the Harrods humidor. I say have had because I'm finishing it now celebrating my 6 week ordeal of chasing whitetail deer across the country. Killer smoke that still has a ton of flavor.

[knuck42]

I have the rarest cigar in the world. It's a one off in fact... says so right on the band!

Seriously though, I have a few Dunhill Cabinettas that I consider to be fairly rare. Rare enough at least that my humidor won't be seeing any more of them.

[Midnight_Smoker]

probably the stuff i won from the panty head contest. a VGE ER, Round, DC Sr Robo and a Opus maddie. I gave the maddie to a buddy. never really liked maduros much. He traded me a King T for it.

[scthornton]

I do have some rare cigars that I probably won't smoke, no sentimental cigars, just some keepers. Cab of 858 Rosados, Cuban Davidoff boxes, Don Candidos, Dunhills etc.

[da klugs]

I believe I own the three rarest cigars in the world.
























They were gifts from Purobrat.

[Grammaton Cleric]

I don't have anything that rare.

The rarest ones for me are one of each of the following:

Partagas Serie D # 1 EL 2004

and

Partagas 898 Unvarnished aged by Hunters & Frankau from 1998

[terrantheman]

What did you take down JxBr? Great story and nice way to end the hunt! Glad it was your friend Midnight a King T for an opus maddie is kind of lopsided but that's what friends are for!
