    Help me out, what to bring

    Well I'm off for a trip through the Canadian Rockies out to the west coast (Victoria BC) for a weeks vacation and while trying to pack I can't seem to make up my mind on what to bring. I'm going to bring a couple small samples of pipe tobacco along but as for cigars I don't know what to bring. It's like trying to decide which kid gets to go to college.

    Hotel we'll be staying at is only a 15 minute walk from a smoke shop so might grab a couple habanos while there as well since I've yet to light one up, but with the insane costs of cigars up here I most likely will be smoking mostly what I bring. I don't have any real high end stuff but would like to bring some really good sticks along. I have a 4 cigar case and a 3 cigar sleeve so could manage up to 7, though probably won't have time to smoke that many... though I can probably make time... if I HAVE to... fine you convinced me. Anyways figured I'd slap up a list of what I have and let you guys decide what I'm to enjoy on my trip.

    Corojo Especial
    Flor de oliva
    Blue ribbon
    diesel unholy cocktail
    black market
    gran habano vintage 2002
    A Fuente curly head
    Nica Libra 1990
    Tat Havana VI verocu no5
    Illusione Espernay petite
    Joya nicaragua no11 cabinetta series
    oliva serie v
    liga undercrown viva
    quesada tributo
    don tomas classico
    excaliber natural
    excaliber maduro
    excaliber dark knight
    h uppmann signature maduro
    gisbert casino III

    (recent acquisitions from here - thanks El Whedo- only 3 weeks in my humi-jar)
    Perdomo lot 23
    diesel (unlimited?)
    5 vegas classic high primings

    Of these, what would you bring?

    My choice would be the Undercrown corona viva.

    I'm a DE whore though (typed as I enjoy a #9 on my balcony).

    Olivia serie v, undercrown, epernay, quesada. Those would be my choices off the list. I'm about to have the same issue. I'm headed to Vegas soon for a week and plan to bring about 15 sticks to enjoy. What to bring... Hmm.

    Vegas is one of the few places where you wouldn't really need to bring cigars, as just about every major hotel has them for sale. Some even have dedicated cigar lounges.

    Of course, I don't know how good or bad the prices are.

    Any chance you'll be coming down to LA?

    Yeah they are plentiful but very high priced. Last time I was there I paid $18 for a short story cause I ran out of cigars. I'm not making that mistake again.

    Unfortunately I'm flying into Vegas and then flying home when done.

    One of these days soon I need to make a trip to LA to visit a couple of people. If I do that I'll get in touch and meet up for a herf.

    I'd grab that Nica Libre. Pretty cheap smoke so if you're having drinks or have to end it early you won't feel bad and it's a good smoke on its own.

    You're on vacation to enjoy yourself...smoke the good stuff and bring extras for backup and possible encounters with other smokers.

    I'm only a 3.5 hour drive from Vegas, but that's just far enough to need to plan a trip.
