Shikar Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 It's an interesting feeling to be rummaging thru your boxes and you find a box you totally forgot about. This week I found a box of Cohiba Sublimes LE 2004 I had purchased a decade ago. I can't stand Cohiba so never smoked a single one and it was just stuck in the back totally ignored. What have you run across recently that was a pleasant or not so pleasant surprise?Regards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEVOSREVENGE Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 That is a heck of a box to forget about. I haven't had that problem yet but it is bound to happen in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 My accountant's financial advice...timely, now that it's Christmas. Trust me, I can't imagine you'd have too many guys forgetting about boxes they've stashed away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topdiesel Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Since my records disappeared with the Great Cuban Cigar Website Crisis of 2016, I have had many surprises revisiting my collection. Mostly referring to singles and fivers that I don't think I ever recorded the first time around. Been kinda fun to look through everything. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post raymond5737 Posted December 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2016 On the other hand, I have 2 boxes of Cohiba Esplendidos that I constantly think about. How are they doing? Are they happy in my storage? What do they taste like now? Should I wait another 6 months to have one when they are plenty good now? These are my retirement cigars. if I keep on sampling, I'll have nothing in a few years. What to do? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What to do? Seize the day, you just never know what is coming around the bend. When you find that certain cigar that is rocking it, then smoke em until you tire of them. Tomorrow you'll find another great cigar to smoke. I don't smoke often, but when I do, I reach for the best vitola in my humidor. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeedubbya Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 It's funny you mention this because I found a box of D4 I forgot I had and cracked it open and low and behold I had put 10 gorgeous Epicure 2 in that box on top row. Surely not a box of Cohiba Subilmes but was a pleasant surprise to see those cigars I thought were gone! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came across a half dozen Q d'O Gran Coronas in a box of Partagas 898s recently... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieninja Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Sorry what? You have a box of Sublimes you didn't know you had? That's baller right there. I know almost everything I have off the top of my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I *think* I know everything, but with 3 packed coolidors, a cabinet humidor and a kitchen cabinet I misappropriated, there are bound to be some surprises - I can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheFullMontecristo Posted December 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2016 Just did a humidor inspection and no such good fortune. I did find a new pair of socks once in my sock drawer I never knew I had. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens I love Cohiba. Send 'em to me and I'll try the same experiment. We'll confer 10years from now and I'll try to find them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaldes Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I can vividly remember finding two boxes of '02 Upmann #2 at the bottom of a cooler. I bought them sometime in '04 and didn't like them so I buried them. Fast forward to around 2010 and I unearthed them again. "What the hell?" They were superb and I haven't been able to have a similar Upmann #2 experience since. Sigh. What happens more frequently is that I remember having a handful of singles in a certain box and I open it to find a sphincter clenching one!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texwrangler Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 i hope to live long enough to have this 'problem' one day, but being so new to the CC world I can barely fill one tuppidor. Like one of the afore mentioned member, I know every single stick I have in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfgar Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Just finished an inventory so now nothing is unaccounted for. Too bad, I kept looking for THAT box but never found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason you haven't found the unfound box is well....it's still unfounded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuaiDorkay Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 My brother took a box of Corso's from a cooler, wrapped it up and gave it as a xmas gift last year. Was so excited until he told me hours later. Wouldn't have known if he didn't tell me. I hate him like only a brother could. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
