Never had a prized or hard to get cigar. Dont really know what I would do with if I did...Probably smoke that sucker! Then what would I do if really liked it?
The cigar I smoke once a year is the rare Padron Anniversary Millennium. I smoke it on my birthday as a treat.
Too bad I only have 10 left!
I was blessed to be gifted a 3pack of Siglo VI. Will smoke the first 2 when I see my Dad for the first time after I get back from Iraq. I am thinking about saving the the 3rd for right after I bury my Daughter's first boyfriend....
I am also holding on to DPG JJ Solomon, and Padron Anni Imperial. Not sure why though....

This is an interesting topic and its fun for me to read because as I will explain.....I don't understand the facination with saving this cigar for that occasion. What if you get your hands on a Cohiba Lancero and you care for it lovingly for the next 15 years waiting for your kid to graduate college and the damn thing is plugged? That would suck.
I have an "inventory" not a collection and thus there isn't one cigar in it the fridge or the overflow cooler that is off limits or reserved for any particular occasion. I frankly don't understand doing that. The only thing I reserve is that I smoke an "A" sized cigar on my B-day. No particular brand, just that I reserve the three hours that one day a year and I pull a big boy. I never have the time and so that is my treat. But that treat is really the time, not the cigar.
If you want to know the rarest, I have one Cuban Davidoff. I am saving it for the day I feel like smoking it. Could be today, could be never. Could be one of you wants it and offers me a trade for it and I say OK. You never know.
As for something that might be sentimental, I kept one Tampa made El Sol lancero from the bundle I passed out when my Son arrived 13 years ago. But again, if the mood strikes me. It gets torched.
To me they are just cigars. I don't attach emotion to them. I smoke what I want, from what I have, whenever I feel like it.

Bring him on over, i've already got a hole dug, there's room for 1 more (i have 16yo twin daughters)
I knew everyones opinion on this would vary....there would be some that keep a certain cigar for a special occasion and some that would say they don't keep 'em, just smoke 'em. I was just curious as to what special cigar some of you might be saving and what occasion it's being saved for. As far as caring for one for 15 years and the thing being plugged, sure I'd be pissed, but at the same time I certainly wouldn't let those emotions overcome the joy of the occasion it was saved for. A thread like this lets you get to know a little something about the BOTL's/SOTL's here that you might not ordinarily find out....that's why I started it.This is an interesting topic and its fun for me to read because as I will explain.....I don't understand the facination with saving this cigar for that occasion.

I have two fake Bolivar Belicoso Finos left from a box I bought in Moscow when we picked up our boys. They are being saved for them, if and when they decide to start smoking cigars. They suck and will probably still suck then. That way, they will hate cigar smoking and leave my sh*t alone. Other than that, I have a bunch of pretty rare stuff I will be burning at the LOL Herf in a couple of weeks and a Dom Perignon to go along with a bottle of Opus One to smoke on the beach in Jamaica on our 15th wedding anniversary, October 10th.
