What do I want for my birthday

rzaman

Today my lovely wife took me to a French restaurant for dinner after work. After dinner while drinking a fine glass of wine, she asked me- what do you want for your birthday. it must be something cigar related, right? I couldn't answer. I said let me think about it. Now I am wondering what cigar can I ask her to buy for me. Any idea? BTW, though she took me to the restaurant but the bill came from my pocket because I thought that would help to raise my demand bar LOL. I know I am greedy-:)

Two boxes of the new cohiba pyramides. One for aging, one for smoking!

Maybe a couple Carabanas Classics, circa 1930? Or the Cabanas 1943? Go for broke, have a Gurkha HMR!!
Regardless of what you pick, be it something recommended by one of us crazy lot or something of your own choosing, enjoy it to the fullest extent and have a wonderful birthday!

Can't ask for Cubans because she needs to contact He-Man: The Master of the Cuban cigar. My wife doesn't like him. Because he has a man crush on me LOL.

hahahahaha love it! Well, if you like the Ezra I think they are a good aging candidate given the filler. Otherwise, I'd say a box of the 40th if you haven't ordered one yet.

Check the "Luxury" section here on CCOM. The Cabanas are pre-embargo and Andy apparently pimp-smacked someone to get them. And, don't sweat the man-crush, I'm really digging on Dustin's Amish-influenced whiskerage...

I do like super aged Cubans but not without the proposer aging history. I have no idea about the condition of those aged Cubans. Also, someone smoked two of them from the luxery collection and wasn't impressed. Anyway, I appreciate the thought Daniel.

Ah...yes still negotiating the box of Padron 1926 40th Natural from 2004 release with the collector. Hmmm something to think about. Thanks Dustin!

How about something crazy. Like an Opus X football.

You could ask her to get a plane ticket for a friend (someone like...oh I don't know....maybe me?!) to come visit and smoke. Just kidding!! But in all seriousness, have a wonderful birthday and remember no matter what, you already have the greatest gift of all: the love of a good woman!

Rip, I have no idea what to suggest, but I have a birthday in a few days, and my wife picked up some Padron '64 no. 4's for me at a local B&M. She got both the maduro and the natural wrappers and they look terrific. They're a brand new release - aged 4 years - Nic. puros - 6.5" x 60 ring. My guess is that these are going to just keep getting better and better and better with age.

Hi Mike, very well said. There is nothing greater than to have a great woman and life partner. I couldn't have come this far without her love and support. I appreciate your beautiful comment.
