Legally - Ashton VSG Torpedo
Other than legally - Sir Winston
Legally? Pre Embargo MC No.2's :grin:

I would still have to have a regular rotation of the high end sticks. I live for variety. If you eat too much caviar, all you can taste is the salt.
(Which might not be a bad thing.)

SO many guys like the Ashton VSG. You know I bought a box last year and still have them. I smoke one when I dont feel like one of the others but I was never to impessed with them.
Box upon box of pre-embargo cubans. All perfectly legal. All nicely aged.

I'd still smoke the same stuff I do now. However, if money was no object ... I'd be able to buy a much better humidor, have a bigger supply and bomb the crap out of all you guys.

Opus X, or maybe ESGs (haven't tried one yet), or VSGs, or maduro Hemingways, or Anejos, or Tatuaje RC233s (fell in love with them tonight). Pre-Embargoes are always an option, too.

I am smoking a VSG right now.......i do love it lots.
I like the opus x, anejos and such, but for every day.......nah. I started with medium bodied cigars and now enjoy a cigar that has a nice spicey/peppery/nutty taste. but for every day I don't need a big nicotine rush or flavor over load. sometimes I just wanna smoke a great cigar that doesn't change much, that's why I love the tats and VSG's. they are just right. I think after that one I'll have a Tat Unicos......very fine smoke

if i had to pick...just one... it would be...tatuaje lanceros
otherwise it would be a toss up with:
tatuaje cojonu 2003, anejo #55, pepin series JJ

well you could always send them to me and I will enjoy them for you. :smokingbo :rofl:
I have had one opus X and it was tasty so my list would be opus anejos tatuaje and PAM 64

Fuente Sharks (although it isn't the money that keeps them from being my every day smoke); otherwise, Don Carlos #2 or a Tatuaje Grand Cojonu LE. :awholelot

Plus they will not be making them after this year, so it is going to be really hard to get a good price on them.

hmmm. Prolly still gonna be a Torano Signature. I'd be tempted to go with Tatuaje Cazadores for my pick but I just haven't had enough of them... Then again, I probably couldn't smoke Tat Caz everyday -- too strong.

If money were no object, I wouldn't be smoking the same thing every day. I would however, keep a box of Partagas Series S perfecto's or two on hand, as well as a nice selection of all of the Fuente Hemingway's on hand as well.
I still wouldn't smoke super expensive cigars, if I did that every day, what would I have to look forward to as a treat? :smokingco:pimp2:

<clueless newbie alert>
Do these even exist? I mean, in the quantities that would be needed? Maybe I'm not looking at it right, in the context of a humi and being babied, but wouldn't they eventually start to degrade? I mean, sure the plume would be heavenly, but...?
I mean absolutely NO offense by asking, but after every cigar shop I've been in having "Legal pre- embargo cubans", well, I doubt that they exist in the quantity I've seen advertised as such... not that they don't exist, but just that I'm curious if they CAN exist without deteriorating... Please realize this comes from someone who's never had a cuban (that I've known of, at least, and from what I have read - I'd have known!)... but I guess I'm still in the odd mindset of seeing leaves in the fall deteriorating, versus seeing well- kept, humidified, cared for tobacco leaves in a humi. Anyhow... rambling, so I'll just leave this thought and answer the topic at hand.
If I could smoke just ONE smoke? Wow, that's a hard call - toss up of 3:
Felipe Dominicana (the torpedo frontmark)
Saint Luis Rey Serie G mad in their 60rg (toro?) size
Cohiba XV in their toro or torp shapes
(all three have that licorice- like finish I love)
...and I'm sure others' postings will make me wish I could add even MORE to the list :smile:
Just my 2 cents,
ZugbugPete

Well, there are those cigars that are supossedly made with pre-embargo Cuban tobacco. You know the sales pitch, "we found several barrels of tobacco from 1958 yada yada yada". To me, that's all BS, but I could be wrong. Hey, if you have the $$, you can get pre-embargo from Christies and threw some private individuals and companies. Of course, how the cigars were stored is very important. If they were kept at the perfect humidity and temparture, I've heard pre-embargo cigars can be stellar. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
