JamesKPolkEsq Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Let's say (perhaps hypothetically) you have your first child. What 2017 box do you buy to smoke once a year on the birthday (minimum 20 count)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 A cab of either SLR DC, Party Lusi, HdM DC. Either one would have the legs, but I'd personally pick the HdM DC. As they age, that sweet cream comes forth, much like those sweet memories of your child growing up as you reminisce. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrouchoMarx Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 HDM DC - 25box, so I can have one with the kid - er when they're old enough 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btort910 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Definitely a box of double coronas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Birth year items should have the birth year on it; just like buying wine for a birth year... Go for 2017 EL's. If you plan to smoke one a year, how about a fancy box of Cohibas? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOM'$ Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 i'm having the same dilemma. problem is a few of the items i am looking for aren't as probable as i had hopped for with the DEC16' box code. If i could score PunchDC that would be very nice. Winston the same. It now feels i either have to expand my search or be opportunistic on something else without pulling the trigger on something i really don't want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrybrowne Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 A box of Esplendidos if you can find them.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsAnole Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 HdM DC. Lovely smoke! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torsion Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I was only supposed to get 1 box when my son was born, ended up with 4 different so far (I am a sucker for that month/year box code which is almost instant justification!): Cohiba Lanceros & Esplendidos HdM DC cab Jorge Lopez rolled Monsdale (not rolled on the same month/year but I thought why not) Awaiting custom bands which I will design and have printed to commemorate his birth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjmistry Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Hey JamesKPolkEsq are Congratulations in order? If so, congrats and best of luck brother. I was blessed with the birth of my first child and decided to buy some boxes to age and eventually share with them. I went with the best that I could find produced that month. Luckily I found some El Laguito Cohiba Lanceros and I had no hesitation pulling the trigger since I enjoy them fresh and aged. I guess you are bound by what comes out of the island/factories that month. I am not sure how '17 stock is since I have not yet tried, but I would say go with something you like and would want to share with them one day. -Shake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigaraholic Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Esplendidos ....I smoke one on my mothers and fathers birthday every year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGC Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Forget the birth year thing. Just buy a box of solid cigars that will age and perform. I bought some newer cigars for my kids birthday from 2013 that were highly graded and looked great... until you picked one up. They are underfilled junk with soft spots and poor packing. I have little faith to age all of the new stuff for years and years. I decided to dedicate my last intact box of Festival Marevas... since they aren't underfilled and I've already smoked many of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Cohiba Esplindidos or Lanceros. PSP if you can find/afford them Failing that, I'd probably go for a good quality box of Parti 898s or Lusitanas Failing that, a box of Monte 2's, Esp 1's or A's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElJavi76 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Espléndidos or Siglo VI's are reached for in moments of celebration. If you don't wanna go that steep... My fav DC is the Lusi. HdMs come is second and RAGs are close behind. In that same vein are the Connie As. Find them at a good price, and if you're having a boy... Buy two boxes. Gift your kid a full box when he turns 21, and then smoke half of those with him. Sound advice! LoL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesKPolkEsq Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Thanks for the great suggestions all! Baby Casey born January, so something ENE 17 would be be ideal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakalley Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Amazing how many folks chose the HDM DC's. When I read the first post, that was the first one that came to mind. So HDM DC's for me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy04 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Get a cab of 50. Smoke one per year. Why restrict your celebration of your childs birth to the first 20/25years only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshb Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I would have to go Esplendidios or CoLa if I were limited to one box... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardwolf Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 2 HdM 50 cabs, you'll be able to share some later in their life and you wont wince when your child gets up there in age (you'll be around, medicine's only getting better). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a girl, a smaller RG "dainty" cigar. Like an HdM Du Gourmet or Cola. 25 cab or something else in the Dalias/Lonsdale vitola (if still around). For a boy, I might go for Mag 50, Sir Winston, Esplendido, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Buy as many boxes as you can! By then tobacco will likely be highly illegal and a few boxes will pay his way though college! Move him out of Kalifornia and give him a chance to be a real kid, make mud pies, play with matches etc... Get him something with an internal combustion engine too. -LOL Congrats mate! -Piggy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
