    Any cigar you have that you won't smoke?

    I know must of us tell our wives the Ron White "its not a collection I plan to smoke them all" line. But what cigars do you have that you are not sure you will ever smoke?.

    For example I had a secret Santa years ago give me a My Father 911 Rosado that I don't think I can smoke. Also I got 2 of the cao Bratalia cigars and not sure I could smoke those either.

    Whats on your list?

    Years ago I won a contest on instagram from Nick Melillo I've smoked all but one of the cigars he sent and doubt I ever will. It's a La Veija Habana from 1996
    I don't have emotions, and sometimes that makes me very sad.

    All my sticks that come into my possession will be smoked...it's really only a matter of when.

    I’m not a collector. I did typically hang on to the Cohibas I pick up, as well as the Avos I buy once in a while. I decided months back to smoke the one Cohiba I still had though.

    I just threw one out last week that I had been hanging onto for about 8 years. It was one of several in a super budget sampler from one of the big houses. Have no idea why I still had it. As I recall, I hadn’t smoked it because the others in the group were horrid. Finally threw it out because I was moving it aside looking for something else and it never made it back into the humidor. After about 2 weeks of drying out and getting tossed around, it was pretty beat up and falling apart. Out it went.
    The other was a gift from an employee of mine from a trip to the D.R. It has to be one of the most non-authentic looking fake CC I could imagine. I am not going to smoke it.

    Other than that, it will all get smoked, eventually. At least that is the plan.

    I almost never smoke a single. Dunno why, but if I only have one I'll never smoke it. That doesn't apply if it's like the last one of a 5er or something. Probably because I almost never like a particular cigar the first time I try it.
    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    I have a single Behike 52 that is at least 10 years old that I can't seem to set fire to yet. And truth be told I will be surprised if there aren't several left when I meet my maker. My middle son (37) will take what's left and do the honor of enjoying them. And I am good with that. Although he does jokingly scold me for giving HIS cigars away when I get the itch to blow something up.

    Well I must say this is different than I first thought when I read the subject. I had my Gurkha button all ready because I thought it was going to be about dog rockets but I see it's about collecting versus smoking. To that I say I'm no collector and I obtain cigars to smoke and nothing is off limits.

    And I agree with @Tombstone - I too have smoked enough Cubans to know they do not wow me. So those and anything else I don't think I'll smoke get sent elsewhere, be it to someone else who I think can use or will enjoy them or donated to the troops.
    No cigar until you get a par - birdie if it's a scramble !

    Damn, didn't know there was a 9/11 commemorative stick. I could see the keepsake value of that one.
