Anniversary smoke?

So next Monday (7-1) is my 12th anniversary. That being said I'm gonna smoke something special. Ideally I'd smoke an ISOM. However I don't have any so it'll have to be something I can pick up at the B&M.
I'm looking for some suggestions ! Something med-full bodied

    Several factors to consider, what do you really enjoy right now?

    One that I like that is in now but a limited release is the Kristoff Corojo Limitada. It fits the med-full category but not knowing what you like, the price range you are willing to go to, etc. makes it difficult to help more.

    being that its your anniversary, i think you should smoke what reminds you of 12yrs ago, the reason for the anniversary.

    if you have never had one then i wouldnt suggest it. on special occasions i always smoke what i know i like. i dont wanna chance it.

    honestly, the first few ISOMS i didnt really enjoy. gotta find what you like from any country.

    I've smoked a few. Certainly not enough to know if I really liked em! I've been enjoying many different cigars lately. Liga's being the most smoked and probably on the top of the list. I smoked my 1st padron 1964 the other night. That was a wonderful cigar! also been smoking a lot of tat's (no particular one).

    I think the AF Anejo is exceptionally good, but I can't seem to find any at the moment though I've seen a few others here pick them up from B&M's.

    Can't go wrong with the padrons IMO

    Yup, especially if you know you already love them. Treat yourself to one of the really high-end sticks like the 80 year. You won't be disappointed.

    Agreed. The 80th is often hard to get. I also like the No. 35, which is smaller but priced to be one that can be smoked a couple of times a week. Padron's are also more on the full side for me, however.

    I'd smoke a Cohiba Diamonte Edicion...but those aren't too easy to find...especially in the summer time.

    probably my favorite regular production cigar ever.

    Well if you like the padron '64's I'd say pick up the 40th or even the family reserve 45 or 46. I think the 80th is from the '26 line if I recall. The 80th is my favorite padron followed by the 46th. Both in maduro. I like the family reserve 45th maduro as well. In fact the family reserve 85th maduro is good as well. I've never been one to risk a special occasion cigar on something I've never tried unless I have backups. Not sure if you like opus's at all but if you haven't had the lost city I'd put that one up as well. Not as strong as a regular opus but IMO more balanced and bit sweeter.

    I haven't tried the lost city. I've wanted to, and have been watching a few on an auction site. People just bid insane amounts. I do like the opus-x, and have a couple there not quite ready to smoke. They need a little age on em. I wish they were more readily available. Either that or if someone has one that'll do a little trade. Oh well I'll see what happens. Joe has a little something on it way for me to smoke for my anniversary. I know what he likes to smoke so I'm sure I'll like what arrives. In the meen time I'm gonna keep my eyes open for a lost city or two! Thanks for the input!
