28th Birthday Cigar

[JollyRogers]

Hey Errybody!

So it's my 28th birthday this coming Monday and I figured I'd start up another what cigar should I go with thread.

I isolated a handful of favorites from the freezer (damn beetles lol), so I've got some stuff to pick from. I've got a Padron 1964 Nat., an Oliva Melanio Nat., a Liga Dirty Rat, an Opus X Perfecxion #4 and a Partagas #4. Or I can go to my local shop and pick up something fun.

What do y'all think?

Anything tie in well with 28? Or January 18th?

[Hardheaded]

The Padron, Liga, or Opus sound like winners to me. Not really a bad choice there.

[Cardinal]

Melanio is my favorite of that list, and one of my favorites overall too.

28...I got rubbers olderin that.....

The padron and melanio's are favorites of mine as well. But I haven't yet had an Opus or a Liga Unico so I'm leaning a bit that direction so far.

Why do I get the feeling they aren't actually made of rubber but are made of animal intestine instead?

[Lynn]

Funny, I was just talking with Brimy about this kinda thing yesterday. We were both leaning towards a known commodity for a celebratory cigar. I'd hate to smoke a new one that just didn't do it for me on a special occasion.

One of my top choices personally would be the Melanio Maduro, and the natural isn't too far behind.

You do make a good point...damn way to make an easy decision difficult. I do have a Padron 1964 Natural TAA edition that's interesting...

[AlanS]

Im jealous, I've never had a cigar with the "Beetles" tell them hello! Oh yea and have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY too.

It's your Birthday, why not both? :stogie: Out of your list the only one I've had is the Dirty rat and to be honest I wasn't blown away by it.

[jhedrick83]

For me, I would go Opus, Parti, Oliva, Padron, Dirty Rat. TreySC is wise, smoke more than one! It's a Celebration!!!

Stop being a pussy. Take the day off work. Smoke all 8 Pudgy Monsters in one day. If you're feeling really crazy, smoke the extra Tiff/Chuck and get the entire box turned into ash in one day!

Try a new one first. That way if its turns south you still have one ofnyour favorites to save the day!

Thats a lot of smack talking for someone with 5 Avocados still to smoke.

I wasn't kidding when I said everything went in the freezer lol monsters included.

Don't forget Vulcanization ensures longer wearing.


Stay safe an carry on.

I'm letting them age. I hear they are best after 5 years.

[Old Smokey]

28...I got rubbers olderin that.....

Yeah, but you've worn all the tread off, down to only 25%. Along with the dry rot, you better drive it slow or it might blow out. Then what cha gonna do?

Melanio Maduro dont understand the problem here

an I know you understand he doesnt indorse lightly....

[Tombstone]

I would not smoke the opus unless it has at least 3 years of age on it. Anything soon is a waste in my opinion. If it is of suggested age go with that. If not I vote Oliva. If you go to the B&M I vote for LFD La Nox, Racine Oscura, or an Espinosa La Juaranja. I probally misspelled those but you get the jist. Happy Birthday.

Thanks for the suggestion, opus has a year on it almost exactly. I may swing by my local B&M and see what's up.

[RenoH414]

I vote the Melanio man. Then if you can pick up a La Nox at the B&M go for it. I haven't tried one yet but I do have a box on order to try one.

I've heard that quiet a bit so I figured I would give them a try. Also have a box of the La Mission 1959 coming as well. Love the LM smokes.

Jello shots are my middle name...I do live in New Orleans and I do typically have at least 60 on hand for most holidays...
