I'd like to add Casa Magna Colorado Robusto to my *uck *t list.......
I think they qualify due to their limited availability. I live in Chicago, which is the 2nd or 3rd biggest city and I can't find them anywhere locally. So, if money were no object, and I had a source, I'd buy a s h i t load of boxes!
the movie The Bucket List was about to older gentlemen who made a list of things they wanted to do before they died.
this is a list of cigars that you want to try before you die.
why the asterisks? because of the stipulation: the cigars must also be so rare that no matter how much money you have, there is a good chance you will never find one, and if you do find one, it wont be for sale. it is so rare that you should pretty much give up trying to find one before you start and say "fuckit" hence: Fuckit list.
note: remember, rarity and cost are not the same thing. the HMR is still available. you can find them. you can buy them if you are willing to pay the cash. in short i didnt want this to be a race to see who could post the HMR first, mainly because they are not all that rare, just expensive.
id been working with the local B&M for setting up the herf that was this past weekend (2-27). a few days before in an unrelated discussion the manager and i were talking about wish lists. the AVO 22 was one of the ones i mentioned. when i showed up for the herf, i was handed the cigar. nedless to say i was floored.
I'm with the noobs, but don't have the excuse of being a noob. I just don't pay enough attention to what's rare or discontinued. I would say the Oliva Special S diadema, but I just found 3 of those in my humi, Saturday. And I'll say I wish I could still lay my hands on the La Aurora 1495 Cameroon 1994. I've got just a small handful left.
It'd be interesting to try the original Hemingway -- i.e., the ones Fuente rolled for Hemingway, himself -- but that's more like a genie-in-a-bottle wish than a bucket list item.

Of course the original release opus and some of the rare sizes would be on my list, as well as the obligatory pre-embargo (which I know where to get some, but starting at $75 and going on up to about $300 a stick), I'd also have to list past years of Camacho Liberties, 5 Vegas Limitadas, the original cask strength and some of the Tatuaje Halloween releases.

if you know where to get them they cant be on the *uck*t list by nature of what the list is.
of all those you listed the closest would be the original cask and maybe the 05 limitada. many of the liberties are fairly easy to find. the tat halloween releases can be found, and will be released again next year and every year after for a total of 13 years.
1) A true pre-embargo cuban
2) A post-embargo cuban rolled by AJ Fernandez (I'm talking high quality standards, like Oliva or such, not the crap the castro's are shipping out these days)
3) Original Gurkha Black Dragon
1) Perdomo Edicion de Silvio - have had one, and still have one more, but all shops I've contacted are now out of them. I know there is a box of 50 on ebay for sale for $500 from 2005, but I'm skeptical that they'll be in good condition, the auction isn't a scam, and I don't have the money anyways.
2) Tat Thermonuclear, as mentioned by Kuzi 3) Padron 1926 Anniversary 4) 2004 GoF 5) ISOM Montecristo and RyJ - hopefully the embargo will be lifted and this will be removed. That's pretty much it.
1.) Gurkha His Majesty's Reserve
2.) Original Gurkha Black Dragon
3.) Stradivarius (available here, I know, but 30 bucks a stick? :P)
4.) Pre-Embargo Camacho
5.) A real, pre-embargo Cohiba
6.) Padron 1964 (I can never get my hands on this somehow)
7.) Gurkha Genghis Khan
8.) Gurkha Triad
9.) Gurkha Red Dragon
1.) Gurkha His Majesty's Reserve
2.) Original Gurkha Black Dragon
3.) Stradivarius (available here, I know, but 30 bucks a stick? :P)

7.) Gurkha Genghis Khan

9.) Gurkha Red Dragon
Most of those you can pick up btw.
Eh, I'd like to put down a OR opus X. That and an AVO 22.

this is not *uck*t list material
the point was cigars that this was a list of cigars that are not available anymore, not just cigars you dont feel comfortable to shelling out the cash for.
almost that entire list can be bought online with almost no effort. money, yes. effort, no.
Ooh ok. Sorry. I wasn't paying attention. I still have no idea where to find the last three on my list though. Can't find a single site or shop that actually sells singles of those.
If kuzi hit you up with the last one then cool but if not I know where you can get a box. btw, the green and red dragons are might nice cigars. I'm tempted to buy more!!! lol.
