I've had so many great smokes. I'd like to say that my recent favorites were either a Liga Privada No.9 or a CAO Italia Tubo.

If you're wedding is like mine was, save "that" cigar for a quiet time, some other time, and just smoke a good one on the wedding day. You'll be too busy to enjoy the "that" cigar...hopefully.

Gotta say, I prefer the Brazillia over the Italia. I have one of the barber pole Bratalia in my humi, has been for 4 years now. Can't bring myself to smoke it. If it's horrible I may cry.

My plan is to smoke it about 2 hours before the wedding. It will be low key with my best man and a short pour of Four Roses small batch. Should take the edge off nicely.

:-) great advice
I really wish you actually have the time to enjoy "that" cigar but I had no free time at my wedding too.
[Reply]

Good thing you only smoked a Cohiba! :-):-)
[Reply]

If you're talking NC's, I'd second the
Fuente Anejo or
Padron 1926 Maduro

Congrats on the upcoming nuptials!

NC or CC, I'm open minded.

The reality is that the event is a week away, so chances of something hard to find getting here in time are slim to nil.

:-) My cousin is also getting married that day. I'll suggest what I'm planning on bringing out for him, an Old Man and the C. Even if its not the best cigar you've ever smoked, just taking the time out to have some mens time with your father and father-in-law and smoke a cigar I feel would be a special moment. Plus, culebras are commonly referred to as "the wedding cigar" in one of the stories detailing how they were made. If you're unfamiliar with the vitola, its basically three lanceros twisted around each other.

Interesting, thanks for the info Bear. I like it, if only for the story. That adds something to it.

Good looking out brother, and thanks to everyone for your input.
[Reply]

Great advice. I find when I try to make a certain cigar a big part of a celebration, I often end up disappointed.

A great occassion is already that, filled with friends and family.

A great cigar can make any old day a celebration.

I don't remember what I smoked just that I couldn't spend much time at one place. And what I was smoking kept going out because of me.
[Reply]

For something that you will be able to walk in to a local B&M and pick up easily, I would vote for a Padron 1926 Maduro or even a 1964 Maduro. I've also fallen out of love with Anejos so that's probably why I'm not adding another vote for those.
[Reply]

If you need something that you can pick up soon and is a solid cigar, I remember really loving the Oliva Masters Blend I smoked. It may not be as "exclusive" as some of the others mentioned, but it is a great cigar
[Reply]

CC-Lusi I know I am a parte whore...
NC- Padron Natty 64 pyramid such always a good call
[Reply]

Padron 80th Anni
[Reply]

You might have some problems there. The chances of getting a hard to find cigar you have never had and "loving" it might be kind of slim. I have had some cigars that were sort of hard to find and expensive.........I hated them.

What kind of cigars do you enjoy?
[Reply]

:-)
[Reply]

One vote for a OPUSX perfection with some age.
[Reply]

Lets save those for the divorce.

Im going to say like a few others the anejo 77 or if you can find cubans a cohiba lancero.
