Three special cigars

[CigarStone]

I have a close friend who is an ex-marine and is currently a sniper on the Cleveland SWAT team. He and I gave a bit of a send off to a young friend who is now returning home from Iraq.

I would like some suggestions on a special smoke for the three of us to have when he gets home.

We have about 30-40 days before he gets home so I thought I would get some suggestions to give me time to get them and make sure they are perfect when he gets here.

The smoke will be preceded by a huge steak, and enjoyed with a good bottle.

I'd say a big, dark Padron. Very nice cigars but not especially hard to find if you have a little time to look. Kind of depends what you three like, though. I'm sure you'll get the default Opus X, Anejo and ISOM answers, so good luck.

The easy answer would be an Opus, but maby an Ashton ESG or Camacho Maduro....

Sound like a great time but let me give you a minor lesson in Marine Corps etiquette. The is only one EX-marine, no matter what the news media says, the rest of us are prior Marines or former Marines.


If you have a lot of time then a Padron 1964 "A" or Opus X "A". Less time could do a Diamond Crown #7 Maduro, or Diamond Crown Maximus Churchill. They would certainly do it for this old Jarhead.

And if you're wondering, the EX-Marine is Lee Harvey Oswald.

I think the cigar shouldn't compete with the company, but should compliment the occasion. If you pull out any decent cigar it would go great with the company, unless there's a snob in the group.

Me, I would go get a handfull of AVO Domaine 50's and call it an evening.

The company is almost as important then the sticks. But no one can turn away from a forbidden X.

I second the Diamond Crown Maximus. Is he a smoker or not is the question. If he isn't an avid smoker, go slightly milder. AVO, Hemi, Don Carlos come to mind. The latest Master Blend is a very good cigar also. For a stout cigar I would go with the Diamond Crown Maximus, Opus, VSG, LFD Ligero...
