Wedding anniversary cigars

That's obviously just coz Moondancer is a jammy git!

Yep, Simon, real jammy,lol The Boli's were from my farther's stach, I did promise to replace them, but thankfully he said "don't bother, I'd done him a big favour", as even then the early signs of emphysema had set in

Great story! Bet you never expected to be getting once back haha

Aye, Boli CG's 2007, means they are smoking fine now but will get better. If there too expensive, try the Boli PC x50. To the other extreme, ERDM age like no other lighter brand & a cab of 50 ERDMCS should be still be smokable

Great story Moon Dancer! Thanks for your advice guys. I think I like the idea of the bolivars.

We were married in Feb 1967 (47yrs ago) at the wedding reception we give out Bolivar No2 Tubos for those who wanted a cigar

Last year whilst talking to the wife?s old aunt, our weddings day came into the discussion. ?Lo and behold', she said that her late husband had kept his cigar in his desk and was still there with other memorabilia as he was not really cigar smoker.

So without any further conversation she produced the said Boil and gifted it to me
The tube cap was tight with a cork/foil inner cap seal which had kept the cigar in near perfect condition. I left it open in the humi for about 5 weeks before smoking.

The Boli possibly by then 47-50 years old, once lit produced almost immediately that famous aroma and richness with ton's of smoke which Bolivar was famous for in those days. Although gradually a softer less rounded & dryer taste crept in. I wish I had another one or two to savour.

IMHO if only Bolivar would again reproduce that richness of the fifties to late seventies Nevertheless, I'm still a Boli fan

Fantastic! Love the story, man that would be a well aged cigar

50 of them.......? LMAO I would love to see that pic.

Oh yeah

I'm sure certain cigars will lend themselves to the possibility of 50 years of ageing, a lot will only be good for 10 years or so.

Someone with more knowledge will be able to guide you better but from what I remember, Bolivars lend themselves well to long term ageing.

The opposite can be said 'supposedly' for Cohibas, as the leaves are aged longer before rolling, opinions suggest that this makes them less of a candidate for long term ageing.

Oh and congratulations!

I really like the RyJ Churchills for a good consistent long cigar, not sure they do them in anything but 25's though.

Other than that is be inclined to go with the HdM double corona

Great cigar, but I would choose something current production so that the date code was the month and year of your wedding.

Good point. I'd still be inclined to go for a longer smoke, perhaps a churchill size, if it's going to be a once every anniversary cigar.

How about a 50 cab of Bolivar CGs, which will already have some age on them as the cabs were discontinued a few years ago.
