If you had a free $600 to buy one box/jar etc of cuban cigars that are currently available through the various vendors and shops, what would you get? If you could get something up to $600 that you might not normally buy and treat yourself, would you get some kind of jar, Cohiba 1966's, La Escepcion, or what? You could also combine to get a couple boxes of RE/LE's, but it has to be something other than regular production cigars.

Escepcion. Apparently incredible, and will soon be impossible to find...

Personally I would get a couple of boxes of BHK 52's I smoke them pretty regularly and my hands down favorite smoke... I have some 1966 but am not touching them ( vacuum sealed )... My experience with CC"s are minimal...

Not regular production? Hmmm...That's a tough one. I would wait for the Upmann Noella jars to resurface..otherwise I would have jumped on the '13 LGC no.2's that came out of Belgium about 3 weeks ago or so. Only 20 boxes were available. Cost shipped was about $425 USD... And then throw in a box of LCG Inmensos with either purchase to get close to the $600 number.

Call your friendly LCDH and have them put together a bunch of three finger packs of the REs and LEs; I've done it many times and it has always led to at least one ridiculously expensive future purchase.

If it were my $600....I'd have a hard time not putting away a nice slb of Cohiba Siglo VI...

But since no regular production, I'd choose either a box of Quai D'orsay Superiores, SLR Pacificos or ERDM Anniversario...and then pick up a box of RA Celestiales Finos.

Tough problem to have Ryan ;).

Thanks for your input why don't you stop by the introductions thread and tell us about yourself

I'd go with the La Escepcions.

Not because I have a legitimate opinion, but because they're so dang pretty. I love the esthetic of that cigar.

I'd most likely ask Tuba for his input since I've only smoked regular production CC's. Kevin is my CC guru!

one box? I recently purchased the la esceps.

If I were breaking it down in to multiple boxes it would be:

-Bolivar Simones ($270ish)
-Juan Lopez RE Andorra x 2($110ish)
-Ramon Allones Superiores ($100ish)

^ Thats 85 wonderful cigars for $600 :)
