Never been fortunate enough to attend any of the Shack Herfs yet and today I was wondering what everyone smoked while they were there.

What did you smoke while at Shack that wasn't your everyday stick?

(sorry if this thread already exists, I didn't see one)

Got to try:

Dunhill Estupendo and 1960's Dunhill Don Alfredo...those were the craziest..although there were many many others but I was always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

the best for me was not the 1994 but the 85 Hu Monarca..wow...just wow..oh did I say wow...

there is no use pondering over what happened who smoked what blah blah blah, Hal...just make plans for next year.
[Reply]

Craziest thing I saw was a 1905 Partaga with a green and silver band...I think that got torched as well.

These are sticks I either brought myself and smoked, or were handed to me as a gift and smoked at Shack.

02 LGC MdO #4

01 CoLa
09 Monte Edmundo

70s Partagas 8-9-8
00 Festival Marevas

LGC Gloriosos RE UK
08 ERDM Grandes de Espana
98 Boli PC
07 Sig I
00 Party Lons
99 Boli Lons

I may have missed a few in the list above, but those are the bands I have.

However, I also got to TRY a number of absolutely amazing sticks via a few of the PPPs that went on. This list is definitely incomplete, but here are the ones I remember clearly:

93 RASS
95 CoRo
90-something CoLa
Partagas 155th Anniversary (TWICE!)
Cohiba 30th Anniversary
Dunhill Mojito
Dunhill Estupendo
85 HU Monarca
Monte #4 Dunhill Seleccion (or something like that)
Cohiba Sublimes
5th Avenue 10th Anniversary
VR 5 Anniversario
Dutch Masters Clear Havana
White Owl Clear Havana
Don Alfredo

I know there were others ... I need to bring a little notepad next time. :-)

Oh, and I passed on trying a Cubatobacco cigar reserved for diplomats and visiting dignitaries circa 1960 because my palette was absolutely fried at that point. It's not that I didn't want to try it, but I thought it was poor form for me to accept it just for the sake of saying I tried one when I KNEW there would be zero flavors coming through due to all the other sticks I had already had.

It was a good time! :-)

The only thing I really remember is the laughs and food. :-) Oh and drinking a mojito at 1am :-)
[Reply]

I dont even remember what i tried at this point. It is all a blur. But i know i had a good time doing it.
[Reply]

Correction assuming these are the cigars we were smoking in the ppp
[Reply]

Trust me Hal, it's not about the cigars at all. Even though some people bring out amazing stuff to share, it's more about the people and yelling out MUNTING!!!



* though starting my day off with a Davi 1000 wasn't bad either. :-)
[Reply]

You would know, balla'

The most enjoyable one I had was a Monte #4 that Dux gave me after our cornhole game.
Not because it was the most phenomenal stick I have ever tasted, but because I smoked it while playing a marathon game of cornhole in the pouring rain..... and it stayed lit!!

Thems was good times! :-)
