Ok, here is my wishlist:

~ Cohiba 5 Maduro (any size)
~ Partagas Serie P No. 2
~ Punch Royal Selection No. 11
~ H. Upmann Sir Winston
~ Hoyo Double Corona
~ Cuaba (any size)
~ Diplomaticos (any size)

Also any Lonsdale Sized Cigars…to my knowledge the only one I’ve tried is the Partagas 8-9-8

Thanks for the help. :thumbsup:
I've got a few of those for you if you give me a while. By awhile, I mean maybe a month. My Maddie 5s are in Amarillo with my brother. I have Sir Winnies, Hoyo Short Coronas (I figure they'll do since they're 10 years old), and a 00 SLR Lonsdale if you don't want to wait, though.

I think I can wait a little bit for these. Thanks

I'm all set now, thanks to Tubaman. He sent me the PLPC and a Party Short, as well as a few others. Now the hard part: I've got to smoke them all and see which ones I like the best. :smokingbo
It's finally warming up here in WI (up to 45 degrees today!), so I've had a chance to smoke two of these: a Party Short and a RASCC. Both were very good, but I think the RASCC was my favorite of the two. I smoked them on different days, though, so it's hard to compare them directly.

Thanks again, Kevin!

Never had a RASSC, but have heard nothing but good things. Party Shorts are hard to go wrong with. That being said, you haven't try a Boli CJ to round out that list, they are the BOMB.


EDIT: Isn't it RASCC?

Let's see here...my wishes are:
ERDM Choix Supreme
Trinidad Ingenios
Punch Ninfas
PL Montecarlos

I thought I'd keep it short and sweet, I don't have much experience with habanos, but I thought I'd stick to stuff I probably won't buy a box of.

Thanks.

Folks, I think we need to relook at the purpose of these threads. The Wish List concept is so that people can try sticks they either haven't had a chance to try and are interested in (let's say for a future purchase) or that they can't get ahold of (something rare or very aged). Your request should be tempered to some extent by your ability to "pay it forward". A few examples:

Posting up a wish list of extremely highpriced, hard to get, rare and aged cigars when you have little or nothing to offer is not the best form. There is NOTHING wrong with throwing one or two "it would be a miracle if I got these" cigars on your list, but the entire list shouldn't be made up of them. Unless of course, you are routinely fulfilling those same types of wishes.

Posting up a wish list that is all, or mostly "ANY xxx brand" is not what this is all about either. Certain brands may lend themselves to this like Cuaba or Qua D'Orsay or Vequeros as they have a very limited range. Saying "Any Hoyo DeMonterrey" or "Any Partagas" is way too vague. These lines have dozens of vitolas to chose from. If you don't have one or two you are interested in, why are you asking for them? Brands like Cohiba or Trinidad fall somewhere in the middle as they are on the pricey side. But still, if you can, pick one or two that you like based on size if nothing else. And lastly, if you want to throw ONE "Any" choice in your list, it looks a whole bunch better than an entire list made of those types of requests.

Remember that the Brotherhood is all about sharing and Paying it Forward. If you can't afford to, or don't have the "ammunition" to do so, please think long and hard before posting something in a thread like this. These threads are not meant to be an offer of carte blanche to ask for FREE CIGARS. They are meant to give a brother a chance to help out another BOTL who is interested in a certain cigar.

This leads to one more comment. If you have posted up a decent sized list, and it is taken care of fairly quickly, immediately posting ANOTHER list is pretty much considered to be poor form. Work on paying it forward, helping out another brother and enjoying and discovering the cigars you have just been given a chance to try for a while.

This is not meant to call anyone out and I'm not trying to be a d*ck here. I just thought it might be time for a bit of a reality check.

Carry on!

In my opinion one should be allowed to wish for what ever they want to wish for.

The person doing the granting has the responsibility of determining whether the list is appropriate and wants to grant the wish.

If a wish list is inappropriate then it will not get fulfilled.

Remember, no one is under any obligation to fulfill anyone's wish list.
