Last year, I started a cool event that I hoped I could continue...I was thinking last year that most of us are always waiting for that one day to smoke that one great cigar, but sometimes years go by without it happening...We might keep waiting and waiting and waiting...
So, for the second year, I propose that we have a smoke out over this Thanksgiving weekend (anytime between Thursday and Sunday night) where everyone who wants to participate will smoke one of those cigars they never get around to smoking...either because it is "too rare" or because it has some special meaning to you...
Then, everyone will post reviews or general impressions of the cigar in the comments section of this post...make it as long as you want, but keep it concise
:-)
What am I going to smoke? Well, here is what is in store for this weekend...

They are:
* RyJ Romeos (Réplica de Humidor Antiguo in 2008-Only 250 Humidors released World Wide)
* Opus Maduro Robusto (from the Forbidden X humidor in 2002- 0nly 100 Humidors Released)
* Garcia Tampa Clear Havana from the 1920's
Happy Thanksgiving
:-)

Sadly, it will be too cold here to do this.

I'll participate! Need to go dig through the bottom of my humidor to find a cigar that I put away to smoke for a special occasion though
:-) Can't remember what I have in that section...I just know they're my special smokes

I'm in Brooks. I'm thinking definitely a Partagas 150 A and a Clear Havana I got stashed away.
Not sure about the Ramon y Ramon I got from the 150 humi. Only one I got. Hmmm. Need to think about that one.

I've been thinking about this lately. Luckily, the weather out here is fantastic right now. Low 70's. I'm gonna lit up some nice stuff, not sure what yet tho.

I really don't have anything too rare....but I could go for a Viaje Exclusivo Robusto. So perhaps that and an Opus X will do for tomorrow. Hopefully it's not raining if it is the Opus will meet death by fire Friday.

If I am home I am in too. Wife went to the gyno today and it looks like there is a very good chance Thanksgiving will be spent in the hospital as there is a very good chance my wife will go into labor tonight or tomorrow.

I have an approximately 25 yr. old RyJ Prince of Wales, and some almost as old Boli Corona Gigantes... I may do this Friday, if the mood strikes me.
Cheers,

OK, I'll play. I think I have an Opus that might be ready to smoke - if not, then a Padron 40th.
Peace of the Lord be with you.
