Ashton ESG 14 28.00%

Montecristo #4 22 44.00%

Olivia V 14 28.00%

I just completed what amounts to the last 5 years of my life, by sending in my final graduate school assignment. Nothing left but the pomp and circumstance (and one final class this summer... but that's a non-issue).

As a way of reaching the end of this journey I wanted to celebrate with a nice cigar. I know I've sure spent many a night reading or writing and smoking, but this is different. This is a celebratory cigar to be certain.

So, I'd like to employ your help in choosing my cigar of choice for tomorrow. What ever is chosen I'll smoke and also review.

Thanks for the help.

edit: sorry, it should be an Ashton VSG & Oliva V (I typed too fast)

Well I can't vote, I would say smoke a cigar for each of the 5 years. So that would mean smoke all of them you mentioned and find two more.

Damn I'm torn, Phillie Grape or a White Owl Peach????

On a serious note, congrats on reaching your goal! I'm sure it seemed like forever. I'm not good on recommendations, but I hope what ever you pick smokes well for you.

Well congrats..but what do you have to smoke? I would say just go through your stash and smoke something you have been saving for this special day.

Actually, that's not a bad idea :-)

That's sort of the plan, I have all 3 of these in the humi and the Ashton is one I've never had before but have always wanted to try, same with the Monti. The V is a cigar I love so would also be a great choice... see my problem?

Oliva V. I am not a big fan of the VSG or the Monte #4

It's an ESG bro..

Read the 1st post bro :-)

EDIT: I know reading is hard for you :-)

I voted ESG because I would think a $20+ would be for a special occasion...the Oliva V isn't all that special (unless it is a maduro)....Monte #4's are always good.

Damn you! :-)

:-) Read the 1st post :-)

Man I hate you Dan....Ok here is what I would do...trade the VSG for 3 monte 4's..problem solved! :-)
[Reply]

Smoke the VSG...they are great!

Take it back or you won't see those CoLa's that I have. :-)

You have 2 cases of Cola in my fridge!

Do you have a B&M near you? If so, go buy a Padron 1926 #9 Maduro. It is one of the best NC's I have ever had. I smoke one of those on a special occasion or to celebrate something.

Is this an official trade proposal :-)

That thought did cross my mind, but I can't swing the $$$ at the moment, thus I'm gonna go with something already in the humi... these were the 3 top contenders (don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining).
[Reply]

Who knows, it may be a nice enough day I burn all three... I do have the day off!
[Reply]

Sounds like a good idea! Smoke the Monte 1st, VSG 2nd, and the V 3rd :-)

Good plan there :-) why are the best plans always the simplest?
