That sounds like a great idea - I am performing my Command Sergeant Major's daughters wedding in august and he is as big a cigar smoker as me

I think I will give him the El Triunfador "Old Man and the C , well I'll keep the single and give him the Culebra :-).

Anyone know who is carrying these right now?

We had them at work until I grabbed the last one today. By the time that wedding is the Black Label Old Mand and the C should be out, which will possibly be even tastier. :-) I believe it has a June release guesstimate IIRC

I bought a number of boxes of the 2008 EL Montecristo sublime to celebrate my wedding anniversary. i did the same thing to celebrate my son's birth in 2010. i bought a number of boxes of the 2010 Montecristo Grand Edmundos. i was lucky to get a few boxes with the october box code (his birth month). I smoke one on his birthday and look forward to giving him a box on his 21st birthday.

congratulations on your marriage!!!

That sounds great - I will have to get the word out to my local B&Ms here to see if anyone is carrying them

Padron 45th Anniversary

I have 2 Cohiba Gran Reservas, eventually 1 for my wedding day and then 1 for my first born

I would say any of the Liga line, although I prefer the No.9, L40 & FFP.

I think I'm gonna go with the Culebra idea, got a brother offering to send one over.

If it's your last smoke as a single man and you want to make it last as long as possible, there's always the Drew Estates Natural Egg!

Cough, COPOUT, eahem

Any habano would be my choice.

Opus x with some age...or any padron maddie anniversary for me!

If you can find one, a 2005 PLPC would be my choice. Or a Cohiba Coronas Especiales. You plan on smoking 2 hours before the wedding? When are they doing pictures? My sisters wedding (I was a groomsman and the music performer) was very busy in the hours leading up to the wedding. You are probably going to need a smaller smoke. So I'd keep it to something you know you will enjoy.

Another question: how does your bride to be look at the smell of cigar smoke? Might want to check with her before lighting up. I gave my cousin a nice CoRo at his wedding, but his bride didn't want to roll in the sheets with an ashtray, so he saved it until his honeymoon.

I'd also say your best bet for a cigar before the ceremony is either:

The night before. Find a nice patio with some friends/family and that bottle of four roses. Maybe find a nice place to relocate to after the groom's dinner.

Or,

First thing in the morning the day of the wedding. Though if you ate not an early riser, I'd go with the former option. Actually, I'd go with the former option either way. Sounds much more relaxed. And you won't get weird looks from drinking straight bourbon so early in the day.

Maybe not so exclusive as a le or opus gof...but i love the siglos so so much...and for me they are very special as i keep trying to buy boxes of them and resist smoking any to let them rest!.

Point is whats special to me may bot be for you....its been fun for me to figure out what that special cigar is to me. Personally i had a couple opus xs and a gof and i liked them but they had too much nicotine for me i felt i got a buzz and was sick to my stomache from them....not enjoyable!

I ended up going with the Johnny-O culebra for the reception with me, the best man, and the preacher (both are old high school buddies and lifelong friends). Before the ceremony I smoked a Padron 1926 40th, and the evening after the ceremony, a Boli PC (I've fallen in love with these, and I'm all out!)

Wife LOVES the smell of cigar smoke. She sometimes asks me to smoke in the house, just cause she misses the smell. She rates the cigars I smoke based on smell.

Thanks again everyone for the info and suggestions. I'm off to restock my humi after the wedding and honeymoon, haha.

DC had an '06 Shark. I figured he'd like it and it worked pretty good. :-)

There's a keeper!

I had a gof when my first child was born 3 months ago. It was very good, but also a little strong and i got a bit dizzy from it. So i think its a good thing you are asking and i suggest whatever it is you try it before. Also as an fyi i had a bit of a last minute freakout the night before or so. If you are like a lot of guys and get this or just want to have some alone time on your last day as a single guy you may want something good to smoke over as you sit back and project how the rest of your life will be :-)
