I just don't like being bothered when I smoke, unless I'm smoking with someone. And somehow it usually happens anyway, and kinda kills the moment for me if I have to put it down
Cigars You Cant Touch

I have an Opus X A that I was gifted back when I got married, that was in 2008. I have yet to spark it up. I need to find a time soon, I'd like to burn that thing.
Others can do as they wish. But for me I don't own safe queen guns, trailer queen cars or humidor queen cigars. These items were meant to be used, driven & smoked.
Thats what I was driving at, not so much this stuff about "special occasion" smokes. Thanks for making me feel less weird and alone brother

Nope nothing like that. Just have some boxes that I'm planning on keeping closed for a while to get some age on them.
I'm saving these 4 for a 4 day weekend. Not sure what one... But I'll smoke one each day.
I'd love to find a Bashert pig.
I almost did something similar a few years ago as a new years countdown. I was going to do 7 days of Liga and smoke a rare LP each day leading up to new years. Well, I did my 7 days of Liga but I couldn't smoke all my whales lol.

The Bashert was a gift from an insanely generous brother. Completely underserved on my part.

I have a few I have earmarked for special occasions, but no cigars I can't bring myself to touch.
I smoked my Bashert Pig, '05 Monte 2, and '05 Punch Punch on my 10th anniversary getaway this June. They were probably my most sacred. They burned well.

You don't know what tomorrow will bring. My philosophy is to enjoy the treasured things in your life while you still have time and not wait for the perfect moment. Life experience has taught me that there are no perfect moments other that the one that you have right now. That said, the fine sticks that @Smoqman sent me in my first newbie trade will be resting in my humidor for at least a month or so before I start selectively pulling them out to enjoy. That is more a tribute to his generosity than waiting for the perfect moment. All the same, I understand the inclination to not let go of those finely aged gems @Merovious.
I have a pair of RyJ from '96 I've been sitting on for almost 20 years. Other than those, it's anything for anyone on any day.
I say burn em. The occasion is the smoking, when you've got something special. Smoke it alone, so you know you'll enjoy it to the fullest, or with someone who would appreciate it as much as you. I love it when a buddy smokes something he's been sitting on for a while. I feel good for him, and that makes me feel good.

I have the chance to buy a Bashert right now for around 110$. Not sure I can bring myself to pay that much for 1 cigar... Thoughts anyone?I have a few I have earmarked for special occasions, but no cigars I can't bring myself to touch.

It's rolled up leaves. Does that make it any easier? A very generous brother gave me a Bashert and I'm grateful for the opportunity to smoke it but it was disappointing.

Probably a smarter purchase than the $2000 Gurkha...
Thats what I am thinking. In my mind I don't want to pay more than 40$, which I am fully aware won't cover it unless someone has one that they don't really care about.
