What cigar is in your humidor that you have been saving for that special occasion, and how long has it been there? I guess I would say mine is a Gurkha Titan that I got with my COTMC. It has been there for about 10 months and I plan on smoking it on July 5th (my one year not smoking cigarettes anniversary)

    Congratulations for being cigarette free for almost a year, I quit Jan. 9th of this year.

    I have several that I'm saving for special occasions but since your question asked "what cigar" I'm will have to go with the Padron 80th anniversary maduro, they've been aging since Nov. '07. I was very fortunate to enjoy one last week and can't wait for that next special occasion to comes around.<

    i have a GOF, and a few other cigars waiting for special occasions. most have been there for a while. all will probably see a year or more before i smoke them.

    After reading this and thinking a bit, it occurred to me that I don't really have any special cigars, maybe the closest being a few higher-end Gurkhas, but really that's the closest I've got.... Must go find that "special occasion" cigar, maybe a Black and Mild with a year of aging would be good :)

    My bday just passed this weekend...and I burned some sticks that I'd been sitting on for at least six months. I had a Gurkha congac tubo, Ashton VSG, CAO 65th ann, and then topped it off with a Padron 64 natural. I enjoyed all of them, except the Gurkha...it was a little too mild for me. All in all I think I had pretty good weekend.

    this first time i read your post i was a bit distracted. I thought it said "my Dad passed this weekend..." then you went on to describe all the cigars you smoked. i thought to myself, "wow his guy hated his dad"

    then i read it again...
    much better

    If I had to pick something out of my humi for a special occasion. Right now I suppose it would be either a Graycliffe professionale or a Camacho 1962 pre embargo. I am looking at picking up some for that very special occasion, like a GOF, Opus X, or Padron. I am debating on picking up a Gurkha HMR when I graduate Physician Assistant school and then letting it age until I retire from the Army and smoking it then. I just have to talk myself into spending that much for a cigar.

    First of all happy belated B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y, I too misread the bday thing and won't even say what I misread. It sounds like some guys really know how to smoke the day away. Never had that Gurkha but it sounds like a good day to me.

    I'll probably never be able to bring myself to part with that much money for a single cigar, but it's a good dream. What I'll probably end up doing is getting a nice cigar for each of these two special occasions and then get a nice bottle of brandy or cognac to drink with it instead of it being infused into the cigar.

    Yea I don't think there is any way in hell I could spend that kind of money on a single stick ESPECIALLY an "infused" one.

    thought it is infused, i dont quite think that its just a very expensive acid.

    I'm sorry I did the exact same thing except I thought he wrote my buddy passed and I was like wow how did you have such a good weekend. I need to pay more attention when I read. Anyway... I don't have a special cigar yet since I am new to the hobby only a few months in...but I see several of you are saving some GOF's thats something I might look into trying!
