Short Story
Yes, I do mean the legal definition.
I held back today, as I have no so called rare cigar in my collection.
Nothing saved for a better date, as my humidor has been filled with gifts BOTL's.
I have been gifted many hard to find cigars, and the choice is tough to choose a smoke anymore.
I offer my opinion/story on rare cigars.
For many years I held on to a pre-embargo cuban cigar, all that I know of the cigar is that my local B&M, upon new ownership, found them in the shop. The cigar was perhaps a lancero, the cello was almost golden.
I held on to this cigar for about a year, well things got rough, and one day this was the only cigar left in my humidor. One day I came home, can not even remember the date, I took it out and smoked it, times were tight and I wanted to smoke a cigar that night.
The flavors were mild, with a bit of musk, but that was a great night. I have to say, hold on to great cigars, one day they will make for a memorable evening. You never know what will happen!
What I learned, hang on to a rare cigar if you can, smoke what you purchase, cigars rolled in the past few years are meant to smoke, if you can afford to purchase an extra, save it, you never know when the time will come and that is all you have, and that makes for a great smoke.
